Hearts of Iron IV: EU4 Style Ideas

Authors description: EU4 Style Ideas

InformationThis mod brings ideas and policies from Europa Universalis IV to Hearts of Iron IV.

FeaturesThis mod adds 24 idea groups with 7 ideas each as well as 64 policies that you can buy in exchange for Political Power.

The idea groups are split into 3 categories:
Administrative: Administrative Ideas, Economic Ideas, Innovativeness Ideas, Communist Ideas, Democratic Ideas, Fascist Ideas, Monarchist Ideas, Minister Ideas Diplomatic: Trade Ideas, Diplomatic Ideas, Intervention Ideas, Influence Ideas, Capital Ship Ideas, Submarine Ideas, Carrier Ideas, Espionage Ideas Military: Leadership Ideas, Quality Ideas, Quantity Ideas, Offensive Ideas, Defensive Ideas, Air Combat Ideas, Tank Ideas, Bombing Ideas
Each idea group has at least 5 policies that requires the idea group itself as well as another idea group to be fully unlocked.

All countries have 8 idea group slots which are unlocked by date, from 1937 to 1944 (or 1911 to 1918 if playing with Hearts of Iron IV: The Great War, or 1008 to 1015 if playing with Equestria at War) one per year. A game rule allows to extend it from being able to take 8 idea groups up to 16, the additional ones are as well unlocked yearly. An idea group can be chosen for each slot allowing to unlock its ideas and thus gaining their specific bonuses.
Further more countries have 7 national ideas, 2 traditions and 1 ambition, which are unlocked by completing ideas. To unlock all national ideas and thus gaining the ambition, at least 21 ideas have to be unlocked.

Currently there are 22 unique national idea sets included as well as a generic one.
If you are able to adopt a new national idea set (e.g. Imperial German Ideas), you can switch to them by right-clicking the shield/flag in the idea window and clicking the button to switch national ideas.
