When I have this mod active it removes officer traits and officer corp roles. Is there a way to prevent this?

update?

Can you make a mod in which agents can go to other countries to learn their language?

Could you update for by blood alone and make it compatible for Red World?

From my experience, this mod currently causing problems with supply (trucks and trains doesn't go in supply stockpiles and are not used)
+ generals cannot be promoted as advisors in respective menu as it goes completely blank.

Also no military advisor grants army, navy, airforce experience.

May you make it work with Cold War: Iron Curtain? Thanks beforehand.

Can you make it work with Kaiserredux?

Just checked the compatibility with Historical Portraits. It's compatible.

Is it working with NSB?

@Rizeyy Yes yes it does I'm using it together with the Rise of Nations mod.

Does this mod work on the current patch?

@Tallcastle bug hunting is so satisfying, Nice work by the way!

Foregin assets disappear after reloading a game.

You have any solution for this?

any update for MD ?

Will there be a compatibility with KX (Kaiserredux)?

@RUSBÉ - just sent you a friend request. id like to get my hands on that save file for that game if your willing. it would be nice to hunt down that bug and kill it

Such a good mod man... i'm so sad that i had to disable because it was crashing my game every 12 october 1942... lol, i don't why but it was. And before it was crashing sometimes too. Hope you can update it, because the vanilla espionage of this game kinda sucks. Played 01/08/22

no problem, take your time.

the guy that was gonna take my shifts at my IRL job quit on new years, that free time i was looking forward to isn't gonna happen as soon as i would like.

Hi, I'm also very looking forward to use this mod with actual NSB Version (11.5, when it leaves beta status). How is the chance, that you will finish your work until then? :)

Is this mod compatible with existing saved game?

for those of you youngins out there, im gonna 2nd Iarryburstyn's statement

getting old SUCKS!!

Thank you. I've had Notepad++ for years. Have done modding...but my eyes are not too good any more so I've had to cut back on modding because for some STRANGE reason the font used is SO SMALL--even when I make it as large as it will go--not true for Notepad++. And I would not have looked for workshop for HOI4 in a completely separate folder...I was vainly looking all over the Documents and Steamapps area in HOI4 for the workshop items I have downloaded. Back before I retired I did some programming on the side using many different languages--sometimes in the same program.
I can only read with my right eye (retina problems) and it gets tired and I start seeing double after a while so that really cuts into my "programming time".

If your heart is set on a higher agent volume, you can modify the total yourself with the following steps.

1. Get 'Notepad ++' - you can find this program online with a simple browser search. It is essential for modding
2. Download agency from the workshop
3. find you steam folder and navigate to where the mod is saved
in my system it is in Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\394360\2387530567
4. once in the mod folder go to Common\defines and open tallEIS_defines.lua in notepad ++
5. find the entry "NDefines.NOperatives.MAX_RECRUITED_OPERATIVES" and set the value to however many agents you want the max to be

large numbers of agents caused problems in play testing. It severely bogged down the game and slanted the balance close to unmanageable in multiplayer. Future versions of Agency will likely see the maximum number of agents reduced to 10 to correct this.

on a secondary note, the max agents are hard coded to a specific integer and are not a variable. However, there is a mechanic in the game that grants extra agents to nations with high factory counts. This is in fact how the spymaster works, it adds the number of factories your allies have to your total when calculating this bonus. This has been adjusted in agency to be more generous, more sensitive to change, and to grant extra agents at a higher rate.

While your at it will you increase the number of operatives a nation could have--say to depend on number of PEOPLE in the nation or total number of factories. 16 operatives for the USA seems a might LOW....like extremely low since we had operatives in nearly every nation on Earth towards the end of the War.

Thanks Tallcastle

Thanks Tallcastle

Thanks Tallcastle!

Just an update for everyone waiting. A compatible version is finished and available on request. however development is slow due to my real life work being prohibitively busy this month and my time and attention not being as free as I'd like. It may be a bit longer before a final release is out there, so I'm thanking all of you for your patience and interest in the mean time.

Hello, I'd like to test the alpha version of the update

A playtest for the next version is available on a limited basis. most bugs fixed (including the trait file one listed below) and its been optimized for multiplayer and for compatibility with other mods.

keep in mind this is an alpha playtest and subject to change. but if anyone wants to try it out and join in, then PM me and let me know.

Bug for Barbarrosa
Because your trait file overrides the vanilla trait file, running this means none of the new advisor traits work

yep

take your time

@Tallcastle: Got it, good to know. Thanks for your amazing work!

Development is active but this will take time. The dev team is only one person (more or less) and I'm also working a full time job. Expect there will be a 2 week minimum wait until a new version is available.

If for some reason I finish early, it will still be two weeks and the extra time will be spent adding new features.

and the minute unluckly This and 99.9% of mods are broken and need time to be update to the lastest version of the game. for example Old World Blues is broken to hell and back.

Is this compatible with 1.11/NSB?

No

stupid question but is this ironman compatible

yes. After both the next next major DLC is out and OWBs patches for it. Also looking forward to toying with the upcoming logistics changes.

on a side note. I've spoken with a few members of the OWB team and have both given permission to use Agency in its entirety and have offered to help out directly when they decide to attack espionage on their own. so there is a chance Agency will become redundant once that happens.

Saw that the EaW compatabiliy patch was done, any plans for one for Old World Blues?

Considering making some changes to this in future versions. Including making collaboration easier/harder to complete or with higher/lower rewards when stability is especially high/low or rival party support is particularly high/low.

please comment with your thou8ghts

for others that bump into this. to perform a collaboration government you need a Civ/Industrial department upgrade and a successful civilian infiltration.
