Generals!
It has been a week since the release of Götterdämmerung but Command has continued their work in the background, with today's patch rolling out with some much needed bug fixes, some balance passes and a few tweaks to the AI. Make sure to check them out below as we continue to work diligently on more for the future!
##################################
Balance ##################################
- Reduced the base convoy cost for the Underway Replenishment by ~20%. (From 0.35 per fuel to 0.28 per fuel)
- Adding days to the mission "Public Dissent" to give the player more of a fighting chance to avoid the negative fallout of the mission and subsequent event
- Fixed an exploit with swapping division templates
- Added basic transport plane technology to more countries in 1936 bookmark
- Made political power a bit more abundant for the Freedom at Gunpoint/African Union branch for Congo. Also modified some AI chances, and added a version of the liberation decision to liberate subjects of colonial powers, and not just occupied territories.
- Added dimishing return for breakthrough gain from number of scientists (more facilities doing basic research will be less advantageous per facility)
##################################
Gameplay ##################################
- Renamed Submarine Ballistic Missile Launcher to Submarine Nuclear Missile Launcher
- Basic Torpedo tech no longer unlocks Torpedo Mountings module.
- France can now gain access to AMX as a tank MIO by completing the Form State Arsenals focus
##################################
UI ##################################
- Equipment Designer dynamic version-naming checkbox now functions correctly when manually toggled
##################################
AI ##################################
- AI can now cancel low-scoring raids if that's needed to unblock command power so a higher-scoring raid can be created
- AI should now exercise their divisions (when not involved in a war) to a larger degree
- AI should now get correct AI strategy values immediately after loading a save file (next hourly tick instead of next daily tick)
- Sanity check of British plane designs, fixing a bunch of invalid designs
- Ai will only volunteer to give back core states if democratic or communist, support for adjusting this added
##################################

- Historical AI Germany will replace Bormann by Himmler as Reichsleiter for the Inner Circle later so that Bormann can generate more PP during early and mid game.
