- Reverted the mods tech tree to 0.25 to fix the lens CTD.

- Colonial British renamed New Anglander.
- New Angland states and cities renamed to Anglo Saxon names thanks to Valksend.
- New Ruler for New Angland, changed from Republican government to Monarchy and new flag based on the Medieval English Flag.
- Starts off as a Protectorate of North Sea Empire. They are very unloyal and should revolt once they are strong enough this is to encourage migration from England.
- Continued renaming the British isles to a mix of Norse or Anglo Saxon names.
- Vinland and Elysium given total separation law for church in state this allows migration to flow to them within any market they are part of.
- Elysium starts off in the ERE Market. This is also to encourage migration. ERE AI is supposed to try and fully subjugate them and they will try and breakaway further once they are more populated.

- added relation buff/debuff depending on what religion is taken going Sunni will improve relations with other Sunnis but upset the Yuan. Going Jewish will upset Yuan less upset Sunni nations and make ERE AI like you more. As they were often allied against the Caliphate historically.

- New Mughal Culture they are a Iranian/central Asian culture that rules over their Indian empire. Currently make up less than a percent of Mughalstan but control 75% of the power.
- Adjusted colonization speed. This adjustment lowers the max speed without touching the minimum speed. So shouldn't affect small nations under 5 million population but will slow down huge nations with millions of pops from colonizing so fast.
- Some further tweaks to the Great Palace and Palace Complex. Now require appointed or elected bureaucrats to change to bureaucratic production method.
- Andalusians Indian ocean territory has been given to the remade tag of dutch east indies to tone down their economic power a bit as they are a bit too strong right now.
- Made dozens of new rulers for nations that currently had random rulers which could lead to the ruler not being the main culture or religion of their kingdom tribe etc if it had multiple cultures.
