As always, you all have a great weekend and enjoy you day!  

ClydeFrosch said: So Canadas path wasn't improved any further. I don't think it works that way or is really viable, as some buffs are needed and a possibility for an alliance with a potential trotskyist mexico as well as influencing its existence.

The bugs with the path was taken care of, so that you get the 15% recruitable manpower factor, and so that one of the focuses dont get bypassed if you are in a civil war. ^^

Please if possible can you confirm if this(https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/foru...e-modifier-bug-1-12-11-checksum-66ce.1572437/) is a bug or working as intended?

I don't really understand why the balance of power should go to the council(-0.50% per week) if the Italian player already recaptured the core Italian state.

Once again I leave my compliments for all the effort being made to improve the game.

I have confirmed this as a bug, and I will be seeing if we can get that fixed in an upcoming war effort patch.

Thank you so much for letting us know about this!
