##################################
- lowered intel required for approximate army count & fielded manpower count to 5%
- Fixed upper bound of define for min legitimacy of government in exile to allow
equipment transfer, which has the practical effect of increasing this min required
legitimacy from 1 to 5.
- Fixed bounds of define for daily legitimacy change of liberated government in
exile, which has the practical effect of changing the rate from -1 to -1.5
legitimacy per day.
- Soviet NKVD spirit now gives an extra operative slot
- SMERSH now gives +1 slot and coutner intel if you have LaR
- mitigated the effects of deleting your whole army to get more XP training exploit
- Add a max cap of 10 to operative number
- every country should now have access to a minister to unlock an extra operative
slot
- decreased time taken to run collaboration regime from 190 to 90 days
- removed ignoring of resistance target changes to no garrison law if resistance is
disabled
- increased compliance generation to 0.08% base from 0.07%
- decreased compliance decay to 0.08% from 0.1% at max compliance
- Rebalanced compliance gain
- changed compliance decay in occupation laws to match new compliance generation
- France now starts with basic heavy tanks unlocked
- France now has engineer companies attached to leg and motorized infantry
divisions as well as light mechanized divisions in the 1936 start
- France can no longer gain up to 7 research slots by cleverly losing a war
- Death Before Surrender now is a timed spirit that lasts for 900 days. This means
that, if the Civil War starts the earliest it can start, the spirit will be removed
at the beginning of 1939, thus simulating a collapse of morale and speeding up the
conclusion of the Civil War if it is still in progress.
- Anarchist divisions now spawn with only 25% equipment (unless the player/AI went
down the Anarchists branch). This should make Anarchist Spain's starting position
much weaker.
- 20% Reduction to Strengthen the Regime focus requirements (80k MP instead of
100k, 800 infantry eq. and 800 support eq. instead of 1k each)
- Increased minimum surrender limit to for a country to 20%
- Increased compliance decay to give cap of 90% compliance to non democracies.
- Changed compliance loss on state changing hands to 25% from 10%
- Decreased fielded manpower requirement from German "Demand Sudetenland" to 725000
from 750000
- Improved Resistance Suppression when using "Brutal Oppression" from 65% to 75%
- Decreased compliance from collab regime operation to 20% from 30% on normal
result and 50% to 40% on excelent result
- changing ideology now halves compliance
- Reduced the Compliance requirements for the Anarchist coring decisions to 50%,
down from 60%.
- Increased the cost of Concessions to the Anarchists decision to 150 PP to bring
it more in line with its intended purpose as an 'emergency' delay rather than a
permanent one, and also made it require either of the Nationalist factions to
exist. This means that once those are defeated, there is no stopping the Anarchist
uprising anymore.
- operative gained from faction members now is reduced for counties that lacks
industry
- operations will now higher cost as you execute same operation on same targets
(default is 15%. rescue operation is still 0%. Some exceptions are 25%)

changed
- destroying the counter-revolution now prevents France from descending into
another civil war against the fascists from low stability again

- unprepared offensive modifier in SCW now also affect CAS impacts
- Along with Niceto Alcalá-Zamora as a leader, the Republicans will now, after the
1936 elections, receive a National Spirit reducing their political power income.
Along with Zamora's trait and various tweaks and adjustments made to the political
power gained through events and Republican focuses, this should make the flow of
Garrison Control fighting before the SCW much more natural. Now, Nationalists get
an initial advantage and a 'head start', but if the Republicans correctly focus on
delaying the civil war initially, they will be rewarded and eventually be able to
take more states back from the Nationalists than if they focus on taking states
from the very start. Delaying the civil war should therefore be more enticing as a
strategy.
- Increased tech stealing bonuses to 300% from 200%
- Increased tech stealing extra bonus outcomes to also give either 1 or 2 year
ahead of time bonuses also
- Tech stealing can now unlock techs, uses weights on tech picking to prefer more
up to date and equipment for a more rewarding bonus

respective event chains, any guarantees they have made to those countries are
revoked
- Medium Aircraft Designers now affect scout planes
- Added 4 civilian factories to Soviets
- added 1 mil and 2 civ factory to china
- changed one civ to 1 mil for PRC
- decreased manpower damage from resistance from 3% to 1.8%

Republican Spain is much more difficult to capitulate now.

convoy counts when determining convoy efficiency.

destination while their transport ships are in combat; this prevents the exploit of
letting them magically escape from combat.

about accepting calls to arms to majors (soviet) when still at war with major
neighbors (china)

stable
- lend lease now automatically cancels when war ends for the receiver
- AI is now MUCH better at looking at the equipment cost for switching more
templates than just one at a time
- AI cares about infrastructure way more when placing consctruction
- AI should no longer go as happy on naval construction over military (was counting
ratio also using civilian so got disproportional large naval part)
- AI us now allowed to trade using more civilian factories
- Ai should now be much better at going for medium tank divisions. Fixed issues
with width being off as well as wrong template being used when evaluatign fitness
for changing out lines
- rebalanced ai priorities for medium vs light armor so that ai doesnt get stuck
thinking its making light when it isnt

have generated some actual threat giving you 1-2 smaller wars before you are sucked
into the ww2 vortex (makes some minors a lot more playable)
- rebalanced ai priorities for medium vs light armor so that ai doesnt get stuck
thinking its making light when it isnt
- fixed a case where AI was looking at the wrong type when deciding about template
upgrades and could get stuck on motorized
- Improved AI trade law logic selection

to stop producing light tanks and switch over to medium for stuff
