Generic missions

The generic mission tree is composed of three branches which focus on the three main idea groups. The branches focus on expanding militarily, diplomatically, and economically. All countries in the game which do not possess a unique tag will use this mission tree. It is also possible for some countries to make small changes to the tree while keeping the general configuration.
