Patchnotes:
FDR bonuses nerfed.
Das Reich/Wiking/LSSAH/Germania units now spawn on map to avoid situation when upgrade event triggered before unit was actualy completed.
Capital ships "tweaks" as attempt to play a bit with naval balance. IC cost +75%, build time without changes. Officers cost +50%, Fuel consumption +50%
USA now forced to take Neutrality Acts.
New Deal, State of Emergency, Wages and Hours Act, Hoover Dam tweaks
IC efficiency penalties added to USA War Industry events
Democratic Appease Them And Goon Squads tweaked
AI IC efficiency bonuses reduced
Game no longer crashes after opening tech tab with AI control.
No more Goering Plan spam if player says no.
24. Pzr. Dvision fixed.
I Corps counter fixed
German submarines events fixed (hopefuly)
AI fix. Now it's already building/researching what it should, so SOV - IC and divisions, USA and JAP - fleet and so on.
There still might be bugs that were missed during tests or balance issues. Keep in mind comparing to previous versions this affects game balance a lot.
Technicaly it is savegame compatible. game won't crash instantly, but due to AI changes it might cause some weird behaviour, bugs or even CTDs.
