Revised Argentina

Revised Argentina is a mod dedicated to improving Argentina's playability in HOI IV while maintaining balance and historical accuracy (though providing ahistorical choices to the player).

Current: revarg 0.48f (This is the final version for this iteration of the mod, no further updates will be delievered)

NOTICE: As of the "No Step Back!" DLC release this mod has been rended unplayable. Too many changes to the map and mechanics as well as outdated design (original coding started back in vanilla) have made it so further development is impossible. It'd require an entire rework to function properly. Right now I don't have the willpower to do it and since the game's performance has dropped beyond playable levels for my rig I simply see no reason to spend the effort.

TIME ELAPSED: This mod was developed from 4/13/17 to 12/7/21.

COMPATIBILIY: Most likely incompatible with anything after "No Step Back!".

MOD INTEGRATION: This mod integrated the following mods:

Argentina Quick Fixes (by Netbackup)
Argentina Reskins (by Skyllio)
Expanded South American States (by Sangriacus)

Thumbs up to them for their great work.

CONTENTS ON THE LAST VERSION
=======================

> Added Argentina in the 1936 starting date as a minor nation, this included flavor text explaining the general political situation of the country at the time.

> Replaced all political leader portraits with real pictures.

> Added two new custom traits for starting leader "Pedro Justo".

> Rebalanced initial party popularity. While "neutrality" is still majority, it's not as one sided as in vanilla.

> Lowered Argentina's starting national unity to reflect political turmoil at the time.

> Added new starting technologies to Argentina: Support Equipment, Engineer Brigades, Marines, Fighter I, Early Bombers and Tactical Bombers I.

> Revised the Political Advisors for Argentina. There are now 14 historical political advisors with custom traits and corresponding flavor text giving each of them some background.

> Revised Army, Navy and Air Force chiefs. Each branch now has 4 chiefs available based on historical data along with custom traits and flavor text.

> Revised the High Command Officers. There are now 21 officers available to the player with a wide variety of traits to customize your armies. These are as historical as possible though some may be a bit of a stretch.

> Added 15 new theorists with custom traits. Changed the way theorists work a little, making the bonus they provide a bit better but including a cost in consumer factories (only applicable to Argentina).

> Revised and expanded the Army Leader roster. There are now 19 generals to choose from, each with their own custom traits and flavor texts explaining who they are and why they are good at what they are. In order to reach this number of leaders I had to resort to adding people who weren't "corp commanders" at the time, to reflect this, I've given them low starting skill levels.

> Revised and expanded the Navy Leader roster. There are now 10 leaders to choose from, each with their own custom traits and flavor text as well. Same as with the Army Leaders, I've used leaders who were not Admirals at the time, penalizing these with low skill levels.

> Redid Argentina's National Focus Tree.

> New national spirits. (too many to mention)

> Several new political, historical and flavor events (more to come).

> Added two new trade laws exclusive to Argentina: Domestic Market Focus and Granary of the World. Domestic Focus is easy to acquire through the NFT and is a mix of Closed Economy with Limited Exports. Granary of the World is acquired through a complex event chain started at the NFT “Seek New Markets” focus. This trade law gives you benefits similar to Free Trade but with Resources to Market at Limited Exports level plus a big bonus in consumer goods.

> Added 3 new tank designers, 6 naval designers, 2 aircraft designers (7 variations), 5 materiel designers and 6 industrial concerns.

> No more instant building. All foci that give factories or other buildings take time to build and usually a construction speed penalty. Added a new series of events that allow the player to expand mining operations. These are repeatable, meaning you can keep getting more and more resources out of your country as long as you are willing to suffer the penalties.

> Customized Radio Station 'LRA 1 Radio Nacional'

> Option to remove USA guarantees at game start.

> Mod is localized in SPANISH / ENGLISH.

While this mod's life has ended, it is my intention to peel away some features and present them separate from each other as mini-mods, allowing you to enjoy at least some of the features it used to have. I'll be adding these mini-mods to a collection which you can check out on the following link:

It'll take some time to rip the features away from the main mod and adapt them to the new stuff (many will probably not make it), but I want to do it as thanks for everyone who enjoyed Revised Argentina for what it was: a wonky, unbalanced, amateurish but fun mod.

******************************
If you want a complete experience, I recently found this amazing mod in the same venue as mine. While I haven't had time to play it yet, I can see at first glance it's got a lot of work put into it and it's much more developed and up to date than Revised Argentina ever was. Go check it out and give the author a like, he surely deserves it.
