Latest Update - 3/10/2019 - Man the Guns Compatibility Update
------------

Patch Notes:
-Land OOB changes::
---Added 11 units to the 1936 start: 1 additional motorized artillery unit and 10 artillery groups
-----Each "Grupa artylerii" contains four line artillery
-------We have not increased Poland's starting equipment significantly. That 1000 starting artillery in stockpile seen in prior versions is now on the starting map.
-------Each of these 10 Grupa artylerii units was historically part of an army corps command and would have been committed to important operations for concentrated breakthroughs (use its soft attack in a similar manner, but beware the effect of enemy CAS)
---Poland now starts with military police and maintenance company researched.

-Naval OOB changes::
---Poland's starting naval techs have been changed.
-----Poland now starts with 1936 destroyers researched and 2 destroyer templates--Gryf class and the very modern Grom class.
-----Maritime Defense fund now instantly researches 1936 submarine hull tech and grants a Orzel Class submarine template
---Despite being launched in March 1936, we have decided to go ahead and represent the ORP Gryf at the start of the game.
---Poland now starts with a Light Cruiser, the ORP Bałtyk
-----The ORP Bałtyk is a stripped down hull with only AA guns used as a training school. With proper investment, the player can refit it into a proper warship once again.
-----The Naval Officer's school focus will grant a free cruiser template for this refit. (It will be a capital ship in-game since the D'Entrecasteaux class chose armament over protection)

-Castle and Sanation Right rework::
---Castle's focus tree branch now offers some potential bonuses to naval production
---Devalue the Zloty is now changed to Strengthen/Devalue the Zloty and is available for both Castle and Sanation Right respectively
-----Sanation right can exchange the -20% factory output debuff on great depression for a -20% penalty to infantry equipment only allowing them to immediately build heavy weapons without penalty
---Sanation Right can now sell outdated infantry equipment to Nationalist and Republican Spain during the civil war in exchange for XP and temporary offmap military factories
---Wladyslaw Bortnowski is available as a Chief of the Army for Sanacja Right in 1940 if Zaolzie was annexed

-Focus Tree Changes::
---Several focuses have been changed to 50 days instead of 70 days. In many cases, the bonuses for these have been adjusted accordingly.
---Polish-German Trade Agreement now gives naval experience to Poland.
---"Study Foreign Ships" has been removed. "A Cruiser Navy" now gives tech bonuses to destroyers and cruisers.
---Study Foreign Tanks now applies a research bonus to amphibious tanks if the 7TP is already researched
---The Gundlach Periscope is now a focus that gives a bonus to maximum tank, tank destroyer, and recon company organization
-----Rudolf Gundlach is now available as a theorist giving bonuses to tank production
---"Committee for Defense of the Republic" now gives +0.01 army xp daily and a 10% civ to mil conversion bonus
-----This gives just about 10 army XP over the course of three years
---Berlinka Highway Project now reduces world tension if Germany agrees
---Vistula-Narew defense line now connects Modlin and Brest Fortress with a line of weak forts and then swings north to Bialystok

-Map Changes::
---Modlin Fortress is now a victory point on the map to help the player be aware that exists as a valuable strategic asset
---Re-arranged victory points to include more in the Romanian Bridgehead. You will still need the romanian bridgehead strategy focus to not capitulate.
---The 4 primary depots for the Polish Army are now represented as fuel silos (1 Lodz, 1 Warsaw, 2 in Lublin)
---Danzig is now state id 788

-Equipment Localization
---Poland's 1940 Amphibious Tank is now the PZInż 130
---Poland's 1941 Mechanized Amphibious Transport is now the PZInż 152
---Poland's 1934 Tank Destroyer is now the PZInż 160
-----All three of these vehicles historically used the 4TP chasis

-GFX::
---Implemented national focus icons from Man the Guns and produced several new icons
---Added flavor decisions to Castle and Endecja
---Added the Polish Underground Anthem as a song

-Army in Exile:: (Man the Guns Only)
---As a temporary measure to hold things over until we can make a proper exiled focus tree, we have added a single focus called "Evacuate Poland's Gold Reserves" to give offmap military factories as a government in exile.
-----Note: we recommend that you use the console command to transfer a state if you end up as a government in exile under the UK as you cannot build ships (no ports to place them) and thus will be stuck on the island. (Paradox must fix this oversight.)

-Focus Tree Pruning:
-In general, we are happy with the reception to our last round of changes to speed up the focus tree. We've received feedback that some areas of the tree still need tweaks to increase the pacing.
---The following focuses have had their times adjusted:
-----Interventionist Foreign Policy is now 35 days (from 70)
-----Military Aviation Exports is now 20 days (from 35)
-----Medium Bomber development is now 50 days (from 70)
-----Expand the Polish Cipher Bureau is now 50 days (from 70)
-----Baltic Alliance is now 35 days (from 70)
-----Mobilization Plan W is now 35 days (from 70)
---Plan W has been moved to the mobilization branch; in its place, added a new focus Artillery Motorization for 35 days

-Decisions:
---In anticipation of upcoming MtG changes, Sanation Right's artillery motorization decisions have been removed
---Rebalanced Sanation Right's army reform decisions; less penalties to infantry will be applied
---Front Morges can now offer democratic Czechoslovakia temporary protection to become a dominion if they yield during Sudetenland crisis

-Balance:
---Added Polbryt as naval company
---Agrarian Reform now grants +5% stability
---Invest in the Middle Class: Production retention factor reduced by 5%
---Worker's Brigades: Bonuses increased from 20% to 25% for repair
---Draw Closer to France now removes the non-aggression pact with Germany; Cost to buy French tanks now requires less political power
---Land Mine Detectors now grants a minor bonus to reduced army attrition and land fort attack
---Folk High Schools time to complete has been increased to 50 days (from 35)
---Seek Autonomy now grants on completion a +150 autonomy bonus after doing Beck-Molotov Pact
-----The time to independence from dominion status with Gomulka's trait is now effectively 4 years

-Lategame:
-As we prune the focus tree, a concern arises that players might run out of focuses to do during lategame, so we've added industry development beyond 1939
---All five phases of the 15-year plan are now represented as national focuses
---In reality, each phase was supposed to last 3 years, but for gameplay, we've condensed these into two-year phases finally ending in the fifth phase for 1948-1950
---Starting in 1940, every two years, the player can select to do the next phase of the 15-year plan
---The first phase begins with the historical army modernization & rearmament plan for Poland's military to be completed by 1942

-Bug Fixes:
---Fixed a bug with the bypass conditions on Kasprzycki-Gamelin Convention
---Theoretical Medium Tank development decision for Sanation Right now correctly applies to the 20TP instead of the 40TP
---Fixed some errors in the Polish localization for Sanation Right's army reform decisions

-GFX:
---When Poland capitulates, the communist party will become GL (Gwardia Ludowa)
---Added new portraits for the Directorate of Ukraine:

Minor Polish translation fixes.
