Although the reserves were measured in the millions of tons actual annual production was probably in the 100 thousands.
• Naval unit organization gain from techs fixed

• Armor division manpower compared to Infantry division manpower adjusted to 83% to more accurately reflect all nations.
• Removed Soviet guarantee of Sinkiang to avoid war with Japan.
• Garrison division build cost reduced by approx 25% (-2 IC per day) due to the game design fact that garrisons can not retreat. If defeated they are destroyed.
• Soviet Event 2656 added to adjust ground_def_eff in case the End of the Winter War with Finland never occurs.
• Adolf Hitler changed from "Powerhungry Demagogue" to "Popular Figurehead" and from "Flamboyant Tough Guy" to "Backroom Backstabber"

• V1 rockets reworked to represent 1000 V1s per unit at a cost of 5 IC x 92 days with strategic attack of 11.
• V2 rockets reworked with historical ranges and more appropriate costs and strategic attack values.
• Tech 5550 "Rocket Test and Research" changed from 1936 to 1937 tech

• Tech 7100 "Flying Bomb" changed from 1941 to 1943 (first successful launch was December 24, 1942 and operational use was planned for Dec 1943 but didn't actually start until June 1944) - difficulty to research this also slightly reduced
• Many industrial techs "year" adjusted later
• Naval Doc 8040 ("Fleet Aux Sub Doc") convoy raiding adjusted down and sub attack values tweaked down; tech 8130 "Hunter Killer Doc" and 8140 "Aerial Convoy Def" adjusted up to fine tune the "Battle of the Atlantic"
• Entire World: IC adjusted to more closely match historic GDP; manpower adjusted to historic populations. (Note: only partially done! Did not get finished for D9)
• All existing Starfire AI files fixed to not have relative_build_scheme = no

• Increased cost of Naval transports from 10 IC for 90 days to 12 IC for 120 days - this needs further study but should be a step in the right direction. Even though an individual transport ship may be reasonably inexpensive, it takes a lot of them to transport large troop forces.
• Aachen (Prov 66) changed to "Maastricht" and switched from German to Dutch to better reflect the tactical situation in that area.
• Norway, Denmark, Sweden, Netherlands IC, Resources and manpower adjusted
• German manpower tweaked

• HQs modified (England, Germany, Italy each gained a HQ)

• Cost to build provincial AA changed from 6 IC for 60 days to 4 IC for 90 days - same total cost but a more reasonable build time. This should help avoid smaller nations overbuilding AA too quickly.
• Garrison "divisions" have been cut in half (think of them more like a "brigade"). This will help solve the problem of the British and Japanese needing lots of garrison troops across the world but avoiding having these troops inflate the initial OOBs beyond peak wartime strength.
• Hungary - numerous changes to adjust Hungary to historical data (initial OOB is now historically correct).
• Industrial Modifier techs: Basic Machine Tools 5050 changed from 1936 to 1938 tech; Improved Machine Tools 5060 changed from 1937 to 1940; Advanced Machine Tools 5070 changed from 1938 to 1942
• 31 Nations initial INC initial techs adjusted to remove industrial modifier techs (initial industrial ability is built into initial IC in Province.csv)
• Japan's resource situation should be slightly more historic.
• AI "value" of supplies increased to 10

• Hint: To conduct the "Battle of the Atlantic" a German player should conduct convoy raiding at night and should build 20 to 40 sub units!
• AI "value" of supplies increased to 8 (cutting it was wrong, AI was making poor trades with value of 3 the AI was only getting 2 Energy for 1 supply)
• Manpower daily gain (misc.txt) increased to 0.004.
• Sub ranges adjusted
• Sub org dropped to "5"; all other naval ships org increase to 40
• Sub detection values for surface ships reworked.

• German and USA upgrading and reinforcement AI variables set to reflect historical national tendencies.
• German 1938 OOB for subs revised to be historic.
• Manpower daily gain (misc.txt) increased to 0.003 (net increase after project "double it").
• Changed "Semi-Motorized Cavalry Div" tech from 1937 to 1938 tech.
• Raised cost and time to build Semi-Motorized Cavalry Div
• Naval values reworked (extensively) to improve the sub vs surface vs convoy situation; "Short Range Sub" (model 1) range reduced to 1800 (German Type IIB was a coastal sub with range of 3100 miles (surfaced) vs 8700 miles (surfaced) for the Type VIIB)
• Removed tech 1230 "Basic Motorized Infantry" from Soviet starting techs; several Soviet motorized divisions converted to leg infantry to more closely match historical figures.
• Project "Double It" - all IC, Energy, Metal, Rare and Manpower doubled in Province.csv; TC per IC cut in half; manpower per MP point cut in half; money per IC cut in half; strategic bombing doubled; supply per IC cut in half; all unit costs doubled. This is the foundation for future work to completely rework the economy.
• "Fighter" type aircraft (escort, multi-role, interceptor) all air attack values doubled
• AI "value" of supplies cut to 3

• Greek AI improved
• Further enhancements of Balkans region.
• Submarines, starting with long range subs reduced in cost by 1 IC. All sub manpower reduced from 0.5 to 0.2 per unit (thus roughly 60 to 100 men per sub assuming five subs per unit)
• Naval Doctrine 8050 "Convoy Sailing Doctrine" convoy_def_eff reduced from 0.25 to 0.1
• Naval Doctrine 8040 "Fleet Auxiliary Sub Doc" convoy_raiding raised to 0.15
• Naval Doctrine 8150 "Raider Patrol Doc" convoy_raiding raised to 0.10
• Naval Doctrine 8300 "Adv Sub Op Doc" convoy_raiding reduced to 0.05 (probably will have no effect)
• A couple more terrain fixes.
• UK resources tightenned up so it's more difficult for the England player to accumulate resources and there is more need to convoy resources back to the British Isles.

• Naval Doctrine Fleet Auxiliary Submarine Doctrine 8040 now not only enables the convoy_raiding mission but gives a 10% boost - this is to make the sub warfare vs convoys more effective.
• Germany given Improved Light Tank 2050 tech to give them a more historic starting position (I was too severe in taking away 2070 not realizing Germany didn't have the pre-requisite!); 2050 taken away from France & Soviet so Germany has an edge in armor technology
• Balkans - terrain adjusted to be more realistic (more mountains)
• Greece - land and coastal forts adjusted historically; initial OOB adjusted to be more historic
• England - AI correctly taught to build motorized not foot infantry (Initial OOB "infantry" converted to "motorized" except in colonies)
• Yugoslavia initial OOB made more historically reasonable.

• Events in HoI2.txt enhanced; ML, SC, SD, SL Events - reduced frequency in half, reduced dissent effects
• Noumea (1692) (French New Caledonia) given metal deposits
• German initial OOB added Fallschirmjaeger Regiment
• Italian OOB adjusted for more historical accuracy; extra TC given to Italy because so many divisions are limted to 70 strength yet use full supplies.

• Soviet AI garrison % adjusted
• Italian manpower adjusted
• Manpower needed to build a factory reduced from 5 to 4

• Historical documenation and adjustments made to German OOB
• British OOB experience levels adjusted more historically accurate
• Removed Basic Medium Tank Tech 2070 from France, Germany & Soviet - a "division" of this type should not be possible until 1939; in September 1939 49% of the German tanks were still Pz I, 41% were Pz II and only 10% Pz III or IV.
• Added event 2080 - Germany mobilizes for total war on May 3, 1942 (gains manpower loses IC)
• Added event 2670 - USSR chooses guns not butter on May 8, 1941 (gains IC suffers dissent hit)
• Soviet AI taught to build the "Stalin Line"
• Kiev adjusted to closer match historical significance (increased IC, Manpower and Infrastructure)

• Industry Techs - fort construction modifiers dropped from 50 to 20
• Increased TC load for occupied provinces from 3.0 to 3.3

• Building factories now requires 5 manpower
• Improving infrastructure now costs 4 and takes only 45 days but only builds half as much improvement. This makes it practical to "rebuild rail lines" in conquered territory.
