Welcome to the Powerful Land Doctrines mod!

This is a mod to strengthen and expand Land Doctrine.

The mod focuses on practicality. My goal is to make Army Doctrine truly worthwhile. Needless to say, everything included should be fully functional. If it isn't, it's an error or bug that I'll fix ASAP.

Maneuver Warfare Doctrine

A doctrine that excels at breaking through battle lines and quick encirclement. Since the tank buff is already given enough, the focus is on strengthening the infantry that supports the front line. The buffs were added intensively at the beginning of the game, making it a strong doctrine in the early stages.

Blitzkrieg / Modern Blitzkrieg

This is the route where you fight with tanks wielded to the fullest extent, as it should be said.
The speed of infantry and artillery lines increases.
Extremely high recon value buff for recon squadrons. This is a measure to take advantage of the many excellent tactics available, such as "Backhand blow.

Mobile Infantry / Operational Control

Blitzkrieg route with infantry. Buff to close air support.
The first branch of mobile infantry enhances the infantry's recovery rate. Perfect for rushing around with a bicycle squad.
The automobilization series gets an hardness rate and speed buff. Mobile infantry operations will be enhanced.

Superior Firepower Doctrine

A doctrine that boosts your soft-attack firepower. The goal is to win the damage race by wearing down the enemy more than you wear down your own. The additional buffs are concentrated in the second half of the game, making it a strong doctrine for the endgame.

Distributed Support/Shock and Awe

A route to fight with field artillery. Versatile and powerful, but with the disadvantage of more supply use.
For starters, I'm going to restore the parts that were weakened in ver 1.8. The recovery rate of artillery is greatly increased, the artillery itself is given organization, and the railway guns are strengthened.
Artillery firepower increase rapidly and rocket-based breakthroughs is greatly enhanced.
The final "Shock and Awe" reduces the artillery combat width.

Integrated Support/Air-land Battle

Tank battle route. By strengthening the mechanized units, it became more suitable for armored division operations.
"Air-land Battle" tech gives you a huge buff to air superiority and ground support.

Grand Battle Plan Doctrine

A doctrine that primarily makes infantry stronger. The catalog specs are the strongest, but careful operation is required, such as digging trenches and storing plans well in advance.

Assault

Restore the parts that were weakened in ver1.5. Maximum planning is highly increased and planning speed is also improved.
The soft-attack of infantry and cavalry is good increased, and heavy armours is further strengthened.

Infiltration

Doctrine to traverse poorly resupplied battlefields in continental China and South America with infantry and bicycles. It increases infantry and cavalry breakthroughs and reinforcement rate.
Reinforced light armored vehicle groups to support infantry. Increased terrain bonuses for light armored reconnaissance squadrons and increased attack power of amphibious tanks.

Mass assault Doctrine

This is a doctrine that uses a high recovery rate and reinforcement rate to persevere, and a massive counterattack to defeat the enemy. The left and right sides have completely different contents. The left side is the tank route, and the right side is the infantry route.

Deep Battle

Reduce the combat width of tanks and mechanized units.
Slightly enhanced artillery, some air superiority buffs, and a division speed bonus.

Mass mobilization

Adds a reinforce rate and controls the penalty for being besieged.

Cavalry Offensive Doctrine

A crazy doctrine that places cavalry as the mainstay of the army. You can use it normally, but you can get more value out of it if you use it in a country like Poland or Mexico, where the ministers are well equipped for cavalry operations.

Common

First of all, it gives a basic buff to the cavalry themselves, reducing their heavy material consumption.
Improves poor terrain compensation and increases climate adaptability.

Left Branch

Route to reinforce battalions with good cavalry affinities. Self-propelled guns, Katyusha rockets, self-propelled anti-aircraft guns, heavy tanks, and tank destroyers will be strengthened.
The last research reduces the width of cavalry.

Right Branch

The speed and armorization rate of cavalry is progressively enhanced, eventually becoming degraded motorized infantry.
Buffs to light tanks, support squadrons, and air forces.

Light Infantry Doctrine

A doctrine to strengthen special forces. This is a route for small countries lacking in manpower, industrial strength, and resources to participate in the World War using a small number of elite mountain/marine divisions.

Greatly increase special forces capacity.
First, it branches into Infantry Offensive and Raid Support. The former increases special forces soft-attack/breakthrough, while the latter focuses on terrain correction and climate adaptation.
In the lower section, the game splits into Engagement that provides offensive buffs and Distributed Lethality that strengthens the defensive ability.

Cold War Doctrines

This is a post-war doctrine that is released after you have researched each doctrine to the end. It not only enhances your abilities, but also adds a number of unique elements, such as the release of new troop types and a nuclear weapons production buff.
