Country Specific Changes
Italicised = Competitive Setup Only

United States of America Changes:
  • Nerfed the bonuses provided by the Adna Chaffee Reform Plan.
  • Improved USA's post civil war army focuses. Specifically giving them a new focus for artillery research and removing useless/exceptionally weak focuses.
  • Reworked the 'American Values' focus and corresponding idea for the USA.
  • The 'Reconstruction' idea shared by all ACW tags now includes a daily political power penalty.
  • Reconstituted the previous version of the 'American Values' idea into a new idea, 'Reinvigorated Economy' which is accessed by completing the focus 'Reconstruction Over.'
  • All post-ACW focuses have been shortened significantly.
  • The USA now has gets access to 5 research slots prior to the 2ACW, and 6 research slots at its peak.
  • The USA's foreign policy tree is now limited to the 'Enter the Fray' path, and has had its bonuses improved.

German Empire Changes:
  • The initial focus tree has had its layout improved, showing the focuses of each of the main paths including their respective army reform paths.
  • The mechanics regarding the seats in the Reichstag are now hidden from the player by default and can now longer lead to Kurt von Schleicher being ousted.
  • The Ruhrkamp mechanics have been streamlined. While the SDP can oust Schleicher as normal, the intensity of the Ruhrkampf can no longer exceed 75 if Kurt von Schleicher remains in good health. Instead, in order for the SWR to oust him, he must first suffer an assassination attempt during a visit to the Rhine, which is clearly telegraphed through an event.
  • The Nullification crisis can no longer oust Schleicher from power.
  • Around a dozen events have been removed or combined into others. This was done because the number of events to manage felt excessive in multiplayer. This includes all events regarding the zentrum and their various factions.

  • The shared "Yearning of Cannae" army sub-path has been removed, with most of its foci being moved to other parts of the military tree or combined into other foci.
  • Nerfed the attack modifiers in both the Reformisten and Die Fronde army reform paths.
  • Streamlined the industrial development focus tree branch. Combining the effects of certain foci into others and shortening the focus times.
  • The "Victors of the Weltkrieg" modifier now starts at -30% army, navy, and air experience gain. This is reduced by 10% per designated army reform focus.
  • The initial focus for each army faction branch now provides 50 command power instantly.
  • The option to disable the black monday card game no longer causes black monday to be removed any slower than winning every hand of the game.

Austria Changes:
  • Austria gets access to a decision to merge its faction with the Reichspakt as soon as either the Commune of France or Russia are at war with Germany.
  • Efforts have been made to make the army, air, and economic rehabilitation portions of the focus tree stronger and more modern. Adjusting the positioning of certain bonuses to allow for easier access, and re balancing others in order to be more viable.
  • Austria now gets access to a decision to declare war on Serbia immediately after they have completed the focus 'Together Against Austria'

  • Air chiefs and their traits have been adjusted. Georges Guynemer has been made a potential air chief.

  • Focus times have been reduced significantly.
  • Buffs have been given to certain army and industry modifiers.

  • After June 14th, 1939 will have access to a decision to join the Co-prosperity Sphere, renaming the faction to the Russo-Japanese Bloc.

India Changes:
  • India now starts the game in a three way split between Pakistan (replacing DoI), Bharatiya Commune, and the Princely Federation.
  • The Princely Federation has received nerfs to their eco and army bonuses to compensate for the fact that they are meant to join the Reichspakt.
  • The Princely Federation's two army paths have received a rework. With one of the two paths following the principle of a well balanced and modern fighting force, and the other prioritising speed, manpower, equipment cost, cavalry & special forces units.

Mongolia Changes:
  • Assuming Roman von Ungern-Sternberg has remained in power and pursued an alliance with Russia, it will have access to a decision to join Russia as a member of the Russo-Japanese Bloc as if it was joining the Moscow Accord.
