This is a quick fix for a CTD issue related to the last patch.

• Rewrote a number of Mexican events to check for the presence of leaders before attempting to remove them

This mod adds Curse of Huitzilopochtli by Murder Mountain, and also fills the continent of Africa with new releasable nations. This last bit comes from a complete rebuild of the Africa Enhanced mod by Aiydem. Additionally there are a number of bug and balance fixes, as per usual.

The next patch will be regarding the Paradox update.

As always, let me know in the discussions what you think!

Greetings! This patch deals with some more bugs, and also does an AI pass over the focus trees. While this is by no means 100%, in general there should be a pretty notable increase in the AI adhering to expected behavior when it comes to going down the proper path. The key here is to make sure the 'historical' option is toggled at startup, as otherwise everything will remain its usual lovely and chaotic self.

General

• Added numerous historical checks to most of the focus trees dealing primarily with conquest decisions or political shifts.
  
• Anschluss? Anschluss! (You know what I mean)
  
• Czechoslovakia should no longer spontaneously rise from the dead
  
• Rewrote text for Chinese national treasure events to differentiate them
  
• The Marco Polo bridge incident should (theoretically) not go off multiple times
  
• Fixed broken code in equipment files
  
• Balanced Approach now adds a flat unity increase instead of weekly buffs
  
• Colombia now has some of its missing event text fixed
  
• Thailand's focuses now use generic art

This is the first part of the 1.4 update. The initial work here is focused on eliminating major crashes and compatibility issues. It also brings in the 1.4 compatible versions of the Expanded series of mods, the most significant of which includes the fully updated tech and unit changes.

Hello! How are you today? Feeling well? I really hope so, because this patch might have just broken your save. It was for a good cause though, and I mean that from the depths of my battered and poverty-stricken soul. For a long while folks had asked me to change the major nations, and now that time has come!

This patch completely overhauls all the major nations in the game, all at once. It's a bit brutal maybe, but I see it as like tearing off a very sticky band-aid. Better done fast than slowly, right?

Here's what changed:

General

• Added new American, English and Italian focuses via DietWater's "Expanded National Focus Mod"
  
• Added a new French focus via Faust's "France Total Rework"
  
• Added a new Generic focus via Toasted_Toaster's "Into the 20th Century"
  
• Added a new German focus via Toasted_Toaster's "Deutschland Erwache"
  
• Added a new Japanese focus via Verenikin's "ToraToraTora!"
  
• Added a new Russian focus via Mr. Tsubodai's "Soviet Focus Rework"
  
• Added a large amount of miscellaneous events and other content from the above mods.
  
• Fixed dozens and dozens and dozens (a whole bottle's worth, basically) of bugs in the above mods.
  
• Fixed miscellaneous other bugs with Road to 56 as found in the forum threads (thanks guys!)
  
• Applied to even more jobs. Got lots of very nice compliments about my cover letters. Now if only I could find a job as a professional cover letter writer?

The next patch will focus on what's likely to be a huge amount of work making the mod compatible with Paradox's new dlc and content. It will come in two pieces, and release shortly after the dlc comes out. If there's time I may also release a content patch before then.

Notes

• Added Colombia Only Focus by XuanKamo, with various bugs fixed and content cleaned.
  
• Added New Continuous Focuses by CrouchingLemur
  
• Updated Austria
  
• Updated Belgium
  
• Updated Czechoslovakia
  
• Fixed Air Buttons
  
• Fixed USA flag issue
  
• Fixed Anschluss issue
  
• Fixed issue with Communist China's focuses
