Misc:

-NEW MUSIC!
---Added 7 tracks. I have painstakingly gone through and cleaned up the audio for each track, resampled them, normalized volume, filtered any background static, and applied some processing effects to enhance them.

Here is a list in the jukebox, they will only play if Poland is selected:
- Chopin's Funeral March
- Prince Josef Poniatowski's March
- Polish Hussars
- Rota (The Oath) - Choir Version

Death and Dishonor Patch Compatibility

Update: 7 Jun, 2017 @ 1:53am

-More ministers added:
---Wiktor Thommee is now the entrenchment high command. He held command of an operational group under general Czuma and was responsible for holding Modlin fortress near Warsaw. He is considered one of the most successful commanders against the Germans in the September invasion and played an instrumental role in stalling the German advance outside Warsaw for several weeks.
---Wladyslaw Raczkiewicz, an avid supporter of the Castle and leader of the Polish government in exile, is now a silent workhorse
-----Walery Slawek now costs 5 political power--basically free. In a future update, he won't be a minister, he will be Poland's country leader under the sanitation left.
---Tadeusz Bór-Komorowski, silver equestrian medalist in the 1936 olympics, head of Poland's cavalry NCO training school, and leader of the warsaw uprising, is now a special cavalry plus army-taining-time high command minister.

-Poland now has 3 different tank designers:
---KSUS, PZInz, and BBT Br.Panc. all had design bureaus that produced different designs/variants of different tanks and competed sometimes
-----KSUS handled weapons testing and was responsible for upgunning models, also drafted the theoretical design of the 25TP heavy tank
-------KSUS's icon is the General Inspector of the Armed Forces flag. KSUS was headed by General Kazimierz Sosnkowski at the time.
-----BBT Br.Panc. was responsible for more state-of-the-art innovation. They were responsible for the 4TP, 10TP, 14TP, and produced a competing design of the 9TP (but PZInz's 9TP variant was selected instead for production).

-Redid the military side of the focus tree:
---"Plan W" and "Plan Z" are now seperate foci
---Added Modlin Fortress as a fortification focus to build defenses around Warsaw

-Other:
---Bolesław Wieniawa-Długoszowski is now spelled correctly
---Polish-German trade agreement now gives a 2x 25% research bonus to support companies instead

Update: 4 Jun, 2017 @ 12:34pm

-More ministers added, too many to list
---Maczek is now an armor genius (he was, seriously)
---Each of the 6 idealogies in the focus tree now has a chief of the army associated with it
-Historical Generals/Field Marshsals
---most of Vanilla Poland's default generals were commanders who fought under the Polish army in exile in the West and did not have a high level command in the September invasion. This has been rectified.
---Every general who held command of an army group or independent operational group in the september invasion is represented
-----only 3 commanders from vanilla have carried over under these new rules!!!
---Poland still has three field marshals
-----These field marshals are the leaders of those army groups who had additional commanders subordinated to them as other army groups shattered
---Black and white pictures for now
-New accurate flag for Falangist Poland
-And some other small things which I've forgotten for this patch notes list

Update: 30 May, 2017 @ 6:31am

-Danzig is now auto-annexed instantly if you accept German demands in "danzig or war
--- As a result, this mod is no longer compatible with anything that adds triggerable events to Germany
-Added the experimental 1st Motorized Artillery Regiment to Poland's starting army
--- By default, can pierce any light tank division you will encounter before the september 1939 invasion
-Poland now starts with some heavy equipment in the stockpile
--- 50 british 1934-tech tanks, 200 artillery, 60 towed AA, and 165 Italian Fiat-626 trucks
*I believe this is justified given this mod makes Poland's starting economy slightly weaker; The 1936 bookmark is just about when Germany's re-armament is overtaking Poland's army in raw strength*
-Dockyard focuses now grant building slots as well
-Rebalanced the military intelligence tree. Overall it is stronger and should incentivize people to select it
-added a little more air experience to the air tree
-The soviet union AI is more likely to intervene in the Lithuanian constitution crisis
---More likely if Japan is at war with China
---Less likely if Lithuania has already ceded Memel
-Pressure Gdansk now causes the German AI to put troops on your border.
---If you start a war with Danzig, the German AI may or may not enter the conflict the longer it goes on. You are playing with fire if you go this route.
-political minister Josef Beck now increases the chance for all diplomatic events to succeed
---This includes pressure Gdansk, LIT Constitutional Crisis, Ties with Romania, Draw closer to France, Berlinka Highway project, and all faction invites
*Josef Beck affects some events more than others. But on average, he adds an extra 5% to 10% chance to succeed.
-AI nations now have a drastically reduced chance to join your faction via focus invite if they are already in a faction
---The chance for them to defect is around 10% with Josef Beck
-Polish-german trade agreement now gives a 50% destroyer tech bonus instead of 25%
-Fund Ukranian rebels now reduces tension limit for sending volunteers and increases the volunteers you can send. If you really want to help nationalist spain, you can now by rushing this route.
-Fixed a few critical bugs
