International Arms Market

Paradox has decided to add an "International Market" in the next update. Despite this, I am still working on this mod for the foreseable future.

Please report any bugs in the comments or in my discord. the screenshots presented above are obsolete. the new mod uses much better UI.

Welcome to the International Arms Market

This mod will allow you to purchase just about any equipment in the game using civs and political power, as well as sell equipment. This mod also provides some unique decisions and national spirits for minor powers. AI does use this mod as well.

** How Does It Work? ** 1.Spend a small amount of political power to purchase arms from another country. 2.For a period of time, you will use 2-3 civilian factories to pay off the import and wait for your arms to be built. During this period of time, the seller receives the the civilian factories as well as some political power. 3.Once the payment is done, you will receive your factories back, the weapons will be delivered, and gain improved relations and trade influence from the seller. 4. During the payment, the selling country will have less factory output to account for the production of the arms

Countries are less likely to allow you to buy arms from them if -they are at war -you are an enemy ideology (democracy, communism, and fascism are all enemies) -embargoes are being exchanged -you have poor relations -wargoals are being justified/exist -you are Poland or Finland trying to buy from the soviets (i plan on expanding these specific ones in the future) -you are a chinese country trying to buy from fascist japan (unless you have done the proper focus)

**AI has temporarily been disabled, I am working on implementing this in a perfect manner. **

** List of weapons available for sale: **

Equipment	Sellers (WiP)
Infantry Equipment
Support Equipment, Trucks, Armored Cars, Mechanized, Trains
Artillery, AA, AT
Tanks: all types, including some variants and cheaper 'obsolete light tanks'
Planes: fighters, CAS, tactical & heavy bombers, carrier planes, naval bombers, maritime patrols, etc
Submarines, Destroyers, Cruisers, Heavy Cruisers

Convoys will come in a future update.

** Other unique decisions for minors are: ** *Foreign Advisors *- Gain boosts to planning, entrenchment, etc. *Obsolete Ship Designs *- Gain the technology for coastal defence ships and pre-dreadnought hulls

COMPATIBILITY

-I used "factory donations" for the payment, which is a government-in-exile mechanic. this means without the TFV DLC you might see some issues with payments not appearing. -Those without the NSB DLC can only import medium and heavy tank 2s. This is a work-around to a code limitation. -Those without the BBA DLC can only important early/basic plane models. This is a work-around to a code limitation. -These limits may be further circumvented in a future update to the mod. -You'll have to test it yourself, but it should be compatible with any mod that doesnt change the tags of majors.

Contact Info and what the future holds

Current future plans: -Reverse engineer equipment -overhaul of purchases tanks & planes to allow for more models -selling equipment -more generic mod decisions -Naval dominance & trade blockades to restrict overseas imports -improvements to AI -Potentially a custom interface (GUI) for the mod in the style of a 1930s catalogue. -Long term larger contracts -Seizing exports -Cap to Export debuffs

This mod was originally developed to be in my other released mod, Aurora Join my discord to stay up to date with this mod and my other projects: https://discord.gg/SZzZNEpwTF it's also the best way to contact me if you have a concern.
