GER:
- Adopted new focuses for Monarchist Germany from Road.
- Changed conditions of monarchy advisors to match Road.
JAP:
- Tora Tora Tora! - The entire idea got a buff - It is recommended that no Navy engages the Japanese at that time as their fleet will be much more deadly for 180 days. (Go wild!)
- “Manchurian Project '' will now reduce Low Legitimacy of Manchuria by one tick, instead of giving stability and war support, it's about the same reduction and will allow obedient Manchuria to get rid of low legitimacy in time.
- Reshuffled some focuses to make the Tree easier to look at, Added the “Hokunshin-Ron” idea, as if following the north expansion plan while also giving u bonuses for preparing against the Soviets.
Dev note: This will probably be expanded upon ;P

YUG:
- Slightly increased focus-times for Pan-Balkan Communist Instigations and added an event warning all players that may be affected by the menacing Yugoslavian actions.

- Fixed a possible bug, with Medium and Heavy airframes not being allowed lower level armor.

- Fixed Large Cannon x1 and x2 modules having the same icon.
- Game Rules now allow you to disable specific continents/regions for even better game speed/not having to worry about AI doing crazy crap to you.
- Urbanization decisions will now only target Core states. (modding change mostly)

GER:
- “Volkswagen” focus will not unlock a trait for Opel MIO, reducing truck IC cost by 10% instead of by 15% as a separate idea.
- Fixed missing tooltip for the “A New Reich” focus.
- Cancel and Renew MEFO bills now does not cost PP. Canceling MEFO’s is locked for AI.
CHI:
- “Unify China” warlord AI acceptance chance was modified. Before, the highest achievable chance of “yes” was about 34%. Now if a warlord has done the focus “Cooperation with The Nationalists” it is about 57% highest achievable. “Opposition” and “Cooperation with The Communists” lowers the chance of acceptance.
- Mongol Political Comitte’s acceptance chance of “Unify China” was modified. If MonPol goes independent, or pro japanese they will never accept annexation. If it remains a puppet of RoC via “Accept Chinese Suzerainty” they are more likely to accept annexation.

- “Internal Population Migration” event’s mission was moved into congress, to have less clutter. You will see “Sign of The Times” event once then the mission will keep firing in the background, like MEFO’s. Added a 50pp reward for stopping the migration. Set the conditions of finishing the mission to be visible.
- Moved “Passed a new Civil Rights Act” decision into Congress decisions. Decisions to combat Jim Crow will not appear in the decisions tab, but on map only, same to how coring and urbanization decisions work.
- “Union Representation Act”’s -10% stability penalty was fixed. It was impossible to incur the penalty before, now the RepAct can be done on Medium Congress support (Required High to do the focus previously), at the cost of -10% stability. At High support , no stability penalty will incur (tooltip will indicate this).
- Added a truckload of new tooltips for USA to indicate if a focus effect or its requirement is affected by certain things.
MAN:

- “Claim the Mandate of Heaven” will annex any Chinese subjects Manchuria has.

- Lowered time of “Offer Vassalisation” down to 35 days.

- Focuses which would remove debuffs will now give 150 PP if no debuff is present to be removed.

AAT Patch-ish
Checksum: 137c

Economy should be under control, a lot of balancing changes ported from road and vanilla. Cannot remember everything that was patched and cannot guarantee stability. Hopefully this will work - Warlider

- Updated support equipment to AAT values, should work in vanilla.
- Adopted vanilla agility values for a lot of planes,
- Adopted reliability, armor and speed changes for tank hulls.
- Adopted vanilla upgrade levels for tanks.
- Migrated air speed from engines to plane chassis’, using vanilla values.
- Small Airframe’s agility was nerfed, following vanilla’s example.
- Medium and Large frames have been buffed in places to match vanilla counterparts, overperforming medium and heavy frames' agility remains unchanged.
- Plane costs and old modules have remained unchanged.
- Air Range remains unchanged.


- Adopted the new Air Bombs. AP Bombs are in the same tech as bomb locks
- Adopted new Torpedo’s, they are in Ship Torpedo Tech research.
- Big Cannons are not adopted, seem redundant might change in future.
- Ported in the 1942 light tank and the Oscillating Turret. Should work even with the missing texture.
- Swapped the MIO icon to a one with an additional yellow background for easier identification. The dark purple icon seemed to blend in too well. Might revert.
- Aligned MIO icons.

- Urbanization decisions PP cost was removed
- MEFO Bills were moved into the War Bonds Government Laws tab.
- Changed the text for "Expected number of factories put on Consumer Goods" to "Consumer Goods Base"

- Tank Manpower Use has received a rework. Base manpower cost of tank chassis is 1, modified by modules.
One man turret? +1 man. Three man turret? +3 men. Secondary cannon? +2 men. Autoloader? -1 manpower. (and yes, go look at the T-35 in war thunder, secondary turrets WERE 2 man turrets. HMG ones were 1 man turrets .)

- Modern Tank Turrets received a +20% Soft, +25% Hard and +25% Air attack buff multipliers.

Please be aware half of these are cringe and are only done for the sake of Unique RP.

- Timer for people to catch up in MP games has been increased to 1000 days. Will make people with worse internet rubberband, but should not pause games as often.
- New Letter texture thanks to Abbus.
- Letter Mod is now once again a separate button above diplomatic actions. It's a technical impossibility to suppress the popup “X is Writing A Letter” in the Diplomatic Actions tab, so it had to be done this way. (Icon provided by Abbus> )

- “Capitalism”’s -10% War Support was swapped for -10% Stability.

Update for the Road to 56 RP Mod
Checksum: 5ee4

- Militia, Irregulars and Garrison battalions are now free to add to templates, done via invisible national spirit applied to all nations. (keep in mind, swapping Infantry to Garrison still costs, unsure why probably hoi4 being quirky.)
Armor Plates module for planes were replaced with a Tank designer style incremental upgrade. (Medium and Heavy airframe slots may be reduced in further updates depending on how broken this change is and the armor value itself may also be adjusted.)

- Bunch of additions please find them out yourself. (16 Extra Formables and Many Formables Improved)
If you want more formables please suggest them.
- Please also watch out and report missing formable cosmetic colors or suggest a change as well.
- Sweden,Norway,Iceland and Denmark have received a small addition to their “Foreign Influence Category” They may now claim certain possessions of old via decisions - These decisions may be shown via the Formable Nations Decisions. ( You’ll see what i mean 😉 )

- You now have an in-game cheat sheet for when you can go to war, what is the max amount of faction points for the current year as well as your country points. Max faction points should update on a yearly basis.
- Most formables, chiefly the decision ones, should make you automatically jump to 4 points and use the respective war and alliance dates. Some in-focus formables will not account for this, where you are expected to remember that you are now a 4 pointer. (if this is a massive issue, might add a manual button to bring a player up to 4 points.)
- War Declarations as well as Call Ally To War and Join War are now date locked, to help with following our lengthy ruleset. (War Dec’s unlock when you can go to war via focus wargoal. No way to check via code if a war is declared via focus made wargoal, so you will have to keep this in mind to not rulebreak.) This will kinda make the AI follow the rules, it usually only declares via focuses anyways.
- Cannot Form Factions / Join Factions / Invite to Factions if one of the parties is at war, unless fighting alongside each other.
- Many other QOL improvements - adding descriptions to certain features and more.
- Calculation of Force Coring cost on a monthly basis was disabled. Game will calculate core costs once on game start and leave it as is. This will hopefully be further reworked down the line into a less laggy mess.
- UI Fixed for Renaming Factions

SOV:
- A ton of alt history political focuses, had their time cost reduced since most alt-hist russias are underpowered compared to Stalin hist. This is subject to further change depending how borked Russia will become in MP games.
ITA:
- “Strengthen the Northern Industry” and “Modernize the Mezzogiorno” will now show a tooltip to indicate what designers will be changed, and in what way, after completing one of those focuses and “New Industrialisation Program” (damn north has a ton of companies ngl)

- Split “The Old Empire” into two focuses, to work better with the hardcoded rules. [Overall time is unchanged.]
- Hungary will now actually consider rejecting the unification offer when its ai, from “The Old Empire”’s Event.
MAN:
- Fixed the inability to use advisors requiring you to be a subject of Japan. (Imperial Subject is not considered a puppet in code.)
CHI:
- “Improve the NRA” Decision was moved into “Military Affairs”.
- Warlords who are spared will be able to be recruited as advisors. Hiring a warlord might be controversial, so each warlord hired as an advisor will hit RoC with a -5 stability hit.
- China after becoming a Democracy will now hold elections.
- Chinese Democracy has been nerfed. Corruption no longer evaporates because a singular election was held.
PRC:
- “Eliminate Illiteracy” instead of showing an event every 30 days will now be a chain of missions in the decisions tab, automatically lowering the penalty from the “Lack of Skilled Personnel” idea. [Same effect, just less intrusive.]
GER:
-The Pan-Germanism Focus Branch for Imperial Germany has been removed to be reworked and reformed into a much more realistic idea for Imperial Germany, please bear with us.
RAJ:
- Added some goodies to focuses improving the agrarian economy after you reach the max upgrade level for it. (Unsure if those are needed after the economy is reformed, use buff at own risk.)
