Big 1.5.2 Update

All Companies have been adjusted.

Countries that previously didn't have companies that got some: Argentina, Vietnam, Thailand and Indonesia.

Some companies for the US, Germany, Austria, Russia, Italy and France were removed due to some of the new companies added in the base game occupying the same building types.
Some other countries were also affected, but only lost 1-2 companies.

Power scaling of the unique bonuses of many companies have been scaled down.

Companies are no longer culture locked, but instead require an interest in a certain region and a specific type of building to be at a certain level. They may also require a certain tech to be unlocked.
Some major exceptions such as Japan exist. The Paradox-Devs decided to still culture lock certain companies and specifically the colonial ones.

Companies will likely have to be adjusted again after 1.5 Beta patch 2. Have fun with this patch in the meanwhile though.

Added 4 unique companies for the South Andean culture, 2 of which for Chile, 1 for Peru and 1 for Bolivia.

Added 2 unique companies for New Granada and 1 unique company for Venezuela.

Added 6 unique companies for South Africa / the Boer culture.

Added 2 unique paper companies, one for the UK and Germany each and slightly rebalanced some of their respective companies.

Also fixed a bug relating to the Hannoversche Waggonfabrik unique Company.

Added 2 more unique companies for the US.

These are replacements for the standard paper company and standard textiles company.

Also fixed a bug relating to the United Fruit Company.
