1) Re-Added the Greek Focus tree, with a small Post-Cap tree and some slight modifications. May do something more expansive in the future but starting with this. Note that their gameplay pattern should include getting Cypress from the UK, so they still have land even if Crete gets taken. Up to hosts wether to roster this or not but it should be very low on the list. They also have the ticking debuff that Poland has when holding where every week until capping they gain greater and greater debuffs to combat
2) Removed a bunch of extra leader traits that were duplicated in the traits file, which meant that some characters had old/outdated traits, most notably being the 5% weekly stab for the Bulgarian Advisor instead of .5% weekly Stab
3) Tweaked the wording of the "Strike the West" timer stuff to be more clear
4) The 3 Naval Invasion Capstones are now mutually exclusive, attempting to do more than one at the same time will simply remove the buffs from the others and you end up picking the lower of the 3 techs
5) Japan's "Strike The West" focus will now auto-bypass if already at war with the allies


6) A new tool has been added for hosts. In it, you can set small buffs or debuffs to specific countries or factions based on a number of preset stats provided. This servers a couple purposes.```
a) If your server has a meta and balance opinion that differs significantly from the mod, you can apply some targeted buffs/nerfs to countries/factions in order to balance your game for your lobby better
b) If a major balance issue occurred in a recent patch, you can use this to compensate while a new patch is being created, so you aren't subject to upload schedules for quick fixes.
c) If there is a major disparity in player skill. For example, if you have a new player on the Soviets, you could give them some small number of buffs to help make sure the game is a bit healthier. Its not the most "competitive" choice, but it will help produce a lobby that is hopefully healthier. Alternatively, if there is someone who is very very good on a specific nation, you can apply a debuff to that player in order to even things out. For example, if you had a M*ta player on the soviets because it was the only way to get the lobby started, you can simply apply a debuff to them in order to smooth things over.

This tool is largely inspired by the AI Control Panel from Black Ice, and permission was received before using it as a base for the creation of this tool. Note that it can be adjusted in game at any point in time, and not just on game start. It can be accessed by clicking the gear in the top right corner as a host.

- All Majors start with the 3 Research Facilities, and the USA Nuclear focuses have been split in 2, with the first one granting a Nuclear Research Facility for the USA in Los Alamos in early 40, after they get Atomic Research, or after UK does the Tizard mission. Note that France's Naval Facility is in the south of the Country in land that Vichy will probably own, and then eventually Italy if they take land

- Incorporated some slight updates from Lennard for the Topbar Resource (Thank you Lennard!)
- Added a new GUI to the Construction Screen telling you your production bonus modifier to that specific building, based on the original one from "Yes, Paimon's", then updated for the DLC by "Kaarlo" then tweaked for TFB by me
- A new Game Option has been added that is an alternative for the Consumer Goods Dockyards, where it instead decreases your Dockyard Production Speed by 2% each for Majors and 10% each for minors

German Updates. In general, some QOL updates and bug fixes to Germany, as well as a significant buff to making puppets. Probably still more buffs are needed but this should make it a bit better. Dockyards are now included in what is being plundered.

- Swiss Gold path now gives 5% Expected Consumer Goods instead of 10% factor
- As Germany you should now be able to loot countries that other people in your faction have capitulated, provided that country isn't Portugal, Spain, or Vichy
- Germany should no longer be able to loot Vichy land if they case anton them, in order to prevent no Vichy player providing a major benefit
- German "Operational Planning" decisions now only cost 15 Command Power instead of 25
- German "Operational Planning" decisions now have a decision that will show the 45 day cooldown until you can click the next one
- Bonuses given by the German puppets have quadrupled (now 2% Consumer Goods Factor, 4% Mill output, 2% Mill Build Speed)
- German Compliance when creating their puppets increased from 25% to 40%
- All areas Germans can reduce Consumer Goods now correctly don't include Military Factories in the looting (Note that this means Dockyards can now be looted
- German Puppets now grant 40% Civ and 30% mill or 20% civ an 20% mill industry to Germany instead of 20% Civ and 15% mill or 10% civ and 10% mill depending on whether you did German Puppet or Collaborationist respectively
- German "Supreme Leader" focus now only requires you to capitulate 2 major nations instead of 3
- "Face of Czechs" middle path where Hungary and Germany split the land now correctly reduces consumer goods from Bohemia and Moravia for the Germans, though all paths now set compliance to 25% instead of 50% (except the middle path which didn't do any and now also gives 25%

Naval Invasions. Naval Invasions have been made to be a bit harder earlier in the game, but become easier later in the game. Naval Invasion Techs have been had a 4th capstone tech added with one of 3 options. This pushed some of the other techs forward a bit in time and thus they were made weaker overall. Note that the 3 techs are not currently mutually exclusive but were meant to be and will be fixed in the next patch.

- Naval Invasions AMPHIBIOUS_LANDING_PENALTY debuff increased from 50% to 75% (It was 70% pre DLC but Paradox lowered it and I didn't notice)
- Naval Invasion Initial debuff to attack 20% -> 25%
- Naval Invasion Initial bonus to Breakthrough 50% -> 60% (Should help not get bounced by low inf high artillery port garrisons a bit)
- Now has the 25% Invasion Preparation time that was removed from the Landing Craft

Japan has had it's post China Tree updated, now they can weave back and forth between the different Short, Medium, and Long Term bonuses provided. The better the bonus, the longer you are delayed from doing the Strike the West focus. It matches the old time where doing only Quick War still starts you in Jan 41, but doing Late war starts you at December 1941. This does a few things,
1) It allows me to balance each individual bonus instead of the whole tree against each other, and
2) Makes the time Japan actually goes in a bit more Dynamic. Their focuses that grant immediate bonuses are slotted into the first 2, so they can still leave their last 2 focuses towards the last minute and decide if they are waiting and can just grab the 4 month delay for the added bonuses, or if they want to go in ASAP. This gives flexibility to Japan, and also prevents the Allies from thinking in the large chunk increments like they used to.

Now there should be more ambiguity on when things happen if allies aren't spying as well and should pin more of their divisions in 1941 in Asia.

France can now keep a larger percentage of its Navy and Airforce when Capitulating if they do the Naval and Air focuses. Starts at the Vanilla 15% for Navy and increased to 30% if you do them all, and increases from 0% Air up to 10%.

France can now keep a larger percentage of its Navy and Airforce when Capitulating if they do the Naval and Air focuses. Starts at the Vanilla 15% for Navy and increased to 30% if you do them all, and increases from 0% Air up to 10%.

The amount of Army and Stockpile they get to keep is also now related to their Legitimacy. For each 4 Legitimacy you gain 1% of the Army, with a minimum of 5% and a Maximum of 25% (originally it was 20%, so you need 80 Legitimacy to make it to what you were at.) For Stockpile its 1% for every 5 Legitimacy, with a minimum of 5% and a Maximum of 20% (Originally it was 20%, so you can only gain up to your stockpile back at 100 Legitimacy.)

In addition to ensuring France is paying more attention to what they are doing before capping, it also will prevent builds where people just abandon France in some servers without a fight to try to keep divs.

Autarky:
- Autarky has been reworked a bit to improve the gameplay pattern of right side.
- First and foremost, there is a new focus added that is mutually exclusive with Autarky called "Partial Autarky". In order to take it, you must meet 4 of the 6 resource requirements. It will then lock you onto either 90% consumer goods factor, or your current consumer goods factor, whichever is higher. It can also only be taken after you are are war with the soviets, and will remove their 10% lack of resources penalty. The purpose of this side is to make right side slightly less feast or famine. It's still bad, but if you can get close but not quite there you can choose to cut your losses and take the locked consumer goods to prevent from completely debt spiraling. Exact values for this will need to be adjusted but this offramp will allow right side to get picked more while being more difficult to game the system.
- Second, the way the Autarky resources are calculate have changed. Before, it was counting whether Germany *or* one of its puppets met the threshold. Now, any resources owned by a German Puppet or Vichy will be counted as belonging to Germany. This should encourage it to use the puppet governments it can setup across Europe.
- Additionally, with the current setup the best route was for Germany to take every spec of land that had resources in it to the detriment of the minors. This led to a bad game feel for anyone in germany's faction during Autarky. To change this, we now are checking for **TOTAL FACTION RESOURCES** when looking to see if Autarky has been achieved. (We exclude Spanish and Portugese resources from this calculation so as not to influence neutral spain vs war spain vs losing spain)
- In order to keep the spirit of Germany needing to be aggressive and still greedy (Germany being greedy is a net positive for game balance), Germany must have the *most* of that resource of anyone in the faction as well. So if there is 5k Rubber, Germans would need to have more rubber than any other member in the faction *individually* not combined.
- To that end, the German tree has gained 3 more focuses, one to take Romanian Oil, one to take Hungarian Aluminum, and one to take Bulgarian Chromium. Everything else they need they should be trying to build or conquer from their enemies. And they will need to conquer in order to meet all of these requirements.


- Due to a skill issue on my end, the GUI that was meant to accompany this has not shipped yet (but is live on TEB). It tracks both the Faction's resources as well as your own resources to check to see whether you meet the requirements in a more tangible way. None of this data is something an enemy player couldn't figure out by looking at the trade window so Its okay that its in the focus tree for anyone to see. In the example here Germany has taken the UK and Norway but hasn't crossed the river line at Barb and has nothing in Africa.
