Since I gave up playing the US and started playing Nationalist China, I have been depressed by the tech teams.
After making some ahistoric expansion, I think I should be able to recruit some quality mercenary scientists (driven out of their home country by war, wanting to make a quick buck, etc.).
Unfortunately, there aren't a lot of ways to:
So the best I could do was to:
Basically, at various victory points, new teams are woken:
If you make it to 80 VP, you are a major (the US and Italy both start with 60-odd VP). And no minor starts higher than 24 VP (Nationalist China and one more I can't remember).
These tech teams are not amazing (they all have 5 skill and they average 3.375 specialties, making them worse than all the majors' tech teams except for Italy).
The tech teams generated here are all in the 50000 ranges (50000 + old id for an upgrade, 50000 + last old id for country + 1-16 for generics). They range from 50200 to 82033 but are not contiguous (only 2658 are created).
The events generated here are all in the 1000000 ranges (1000000 + old id range for country + 0-7). They range from 1000200 to 1032007 but are not contiguous (only 1216 are created).
There are two ways to use this.
If you want to give all the minors the chance, unzip the upgraded_tech_teams.zip file into your Hearts of Iron 2 directory (should overwrite a bunch of things in the db\tech\teams directory, add a bunch of things to the db\events directory, and overwite the db\events.txt file).
If you want to give just one minor the chance, extract the db\tech\teams\teams_chi.csv file to your Hearts of Iron 2\db\tech\teams directory, extract the db\events\teams_upgrade_chi.txt file to your Hearts of Iron 2\db\tech\teams directory, and add the following line to your Hearts of Iron 2\events.txt file:
Change "chi" to the tag of your choice.
If you want to quibble about the specialties or the team name / pictures, feel free, but you'll have to do a good job to convince me it's worth changing.

After making some ahistoric expansion, I think I should be able to recruit some quality mercenary scientists (driven out of their home country by war, wanting to make a quick buck, etc.).
Unfortunately, there aren't a lot of ways to:
- Detect the IC of the country.
- Add specialities to a tech team.
- Add skill to a tech team.
- Share a tech team with two countries.
So the best I could do was to:
- Generate a list of slept quality tech teams for every non-major.
- Trigger on VP acquisition.
- Wake a generic or upgraded tech team and sleep the original if appropriate.
Basically, at various victory points, new teams are woken:
- 25: Mathematics, Industrial, Infantry.
- 30: Land Doctrine (US / Germany), Land Doctrine (USSR / France / Japan / UK).
- 35: Industrial, Ship Builder.
- 40: Naval Doctrine (US / UK), Naval Doctrine (Germany)
- 50: Artlllery / Armor, Ship Builder
- 60: Plane Builder, Air Doctrine
- 70: Plane Builder, Air Doctrine
- 80: Nuclear, Rocketry
