Austria Independent - No Anschluss

This is the first Mod I ever made and the reason why I learned how to mod back in 2016!

This is a mod for players who want to play Austria longer than 2 years without having to wage endless war against Germany!

It removes the trigger for the German "Anschluss" event to fire, the cores Germany gets as well as the "antagonize" (-300 relations) strategy Germany normally gets even when you disable the annexation! (they did this to ensure Germany annexes Austria in case they don't get to annex them outright no matter what so I removed it)

To ensure that Germany still can progress normally along its national focus tree I have removed the requirement of not being at war with Austria for the Anschluss focus as well as removed the requirement of owning the Austrian provinces from the "Demand Slovenia" focus after the Anschluss focus.

Germany could still fabricate claims and attack you anyways so keep that in mind! ; )

This mod also works with all other mods that do not change the German National Focus Tree as well as the GER file in the common>ai_strategy folder!

Austria shall rise again!

Feel free to integrate the code of my Mod into your own Mod/Mods as you see fit!

Take Care and Have Fun!
