Version 1.4.0 New World Order Update
(NOT SAVE COMPATIBLE, LOC UPDATE NEEDED)
For a better experience, I still recommend waiting, “calmly”, that AI mods will be updated to 1.10.

Rules
- With the new rule "Population Lag Fix (Tech&Res)", you can massively help your game performance, especially after 1936 reducing the number of pops through and aggressive assimilation.
The rule has three formats:
1. Vanilla Pop Mechanics (Rule disabled, DEFAULT RULE)
2. Vanilla Pop from 1836, aggressive Pop Lag Fix from 1936. (Mid Rule)
3. Low aggressive Pop Lag Fix from 1836, aggressive Pop Lag Fix from 1936. (Rule enabled)
With this rule enabled, games after 1936 are faster, smoother and more enjoyable without damaging game balance.

Optimization and Bug
- Disabled (For now) Austrian and Ottoman Collapse events, considering free update.
