Recommended Mods

I strongly suggest using this mod with another that increases XP limits; in fact, upgrading to anything Lvl 99 will cost somewhere around 50,000 XP. Thus, the only mod that fits the bill is Mr Tsubodai's -Unlimited XP+, which raises the XP cap to 999,999 , the PP cap to 999,999, and the CP cap to 600 (these are the absolute limits for these fields; I tried to make them higher, but the effort required is far beyond the benefit such a modification would provide) . Additionally, a mod that increases the rate of Army, Navy, and Air XP would be helpful for multiplayer games, but I've yet to find one that does not also raise the caps, which would be incompatible with Mr Tsubodai's mod. Thus, making a mod that combines these two is on my priority list and I'll link such a mod in this description when it is released.
