CORE 0.61 for AoD
2012-12-26:
Made a copy of the 0.60(.25) release version, started various experiments
2013-01-07:
Made a fresh install and restarted development
*** Economic rebalancing
db:
Introduced consumer good need reduction based on development level (FI get increase), analogous to existing military salary levels
Increased the reduction of salary / CG need for low development nations.

# IC to Money Ratio
2.6 # was 2.3 in 0.60
# Military salary cost.. each MP in military service will cost this amount.

0.005 # was 0.009 in 0.60
.inc:
Agricultural nations have a small money income from taxing agricultural produce and trade
Small or poor agricultural nations have 1 free money
Medium agricultural nations have 2 free money
Large agricultural nations (IND, CHI) have 3 free money
events:
Burma road events trade with "world market" and not with India. This prevents India from being overloaded with money.
Basic Burma road event no longer trades for metal (which China has plenty) but for the equivalent amount of energy
Other optimisation to Burma road trades
(China economy is collapsing due to lack of energy, reducing money production from industry)
Reduced the money cost of transfer of industry events by 60% (which were meant to draw off excess money from China)
China can reduce Burma Road supplies when out of money
Increased the "colonial modifier" for IND manpower (or rather reduced the relative_manpower settings)
Reduced the direct manpowerpool gains of IND with a colonial multipliers
scenario:
Checked and optimised several trades, GER and CHI
Corrected one bad trade TUR/GER where TUR sent both money and rares to GER rather than getting paid for their rares
ai:
Improved some JAP invasion ai files with knowledge gained during 0.60 Pacific war ai writing
Zsar´s bug list:
12 29 HOL Foreign Minister should be 8066, not 8003.
14 33 Guatemala has a core on <El> Salvador at gamestart. [They should have] claims on British Honduras/Belize, but where does this core come from? - Claim on El salvador deleted but no claim on Belize added.
16 35 Missing scenario descriptions for India in scenario_text.csv. Draft provided. <RO>(used a slightly differently worded text)
17 40 ARM divisions ROM gains by event are named "Divizie <number> Armura", while naming scheme for production is "Divizia <number> Armura"[.] <Rafn>
22 52 The outmost AND-clause in event 20007 [is] superfluous. Reduce complexity, increase readability.
39 Events 169028 and 169029 should refer to "Battleship", as Scharnhorst and Gneisenau were supposed to be battleships with placeholder armament. <VoO> - referred to as "light battleships" now
41 Cored_ai_fin 32066 has as its desc "AI ITA: Cancel War Aid FIN", but it only involves GER+FIN.
43 Events 820320 and 820321 sleep non-existing event 8200322. Should be 820322. <Rafn> (reported fixed by Denniss)
44 SWE CoN should be 7009 instead of 7086.
45 JAP 470133 should sleep itself and variant 134 (currently only 134), 134 should sleep 133 as well.
48 Events 830145, 830146 and 830147 use undefined name string EN830142. (reported fixed by Denniss)
51 Turkish CoA should be the same person as the CoS, 1922-1944 Fevzi Çakmak.
53 Event 830433 has wrong tag GER - should be USA. <AcknTT>(reported fixed by Denniss)
Formal:
Introduced reformatted tech files by Denniss
Reformatted event files and .csv text files by Denniss:
45 (=all?) flavour event files
CAN, JAP, CHI, MEN, USA, ENG, SOV gameplay files
3 x "other" event files

scenario:
Reworked several trade deals of GER and JAP, splitting some
Changed several GER and JAP trade deals with Western nations for raw materials to money instead of supplies

db/gfx:
Corrected some Australian minister db errors.
Got new Frederick Stewart minister pic M56046 from Hagar
province.csv
Recalculated oil need (increased need, reduced availability)
Removed 2 IC from China
Removed 1 IC from Yunnan
ai:
Significantly increased extra_convoys_war for Japan AI (max 0.75 for naval_build.ai) - probably does nothing
Made Japan more likely to trade with other nations prior to war for rares and energy
Reduced likelihood of Japan trading with SOV
Modified the oil need of semi-industrialised nations to reduce oil availability
Removed "XX builds transports" events from all nations that had them: ITA, HOL, FRA, ENG, CAN, AST, USA, SAF
All countries can still "convert convoys" to transports

Locked two more Japanese divisions (Koran border), with unlock events
Rewrote the events returning West Africa to French colonial rule and transferred them to CORE_General.txt
Added Japanese land tax events

Set all dormant divisions to a suitable low initial MP setting to avoid military salaries for them
Corrected all relevant event files to increase them to desired manpower by damage_division
Further exported lots of event text
Zsar´s bug list:
10 25 Turkish CoA Mehmet Nuri Yamut (12008) has a wrong picture. <VoO>-pic received from Hagar
19 47 CXB may choose "No Thanks" in the united front event and be dragged into the war anyway, as it auto-enters the alliance with CSX when CHI does.
30 Event 15083 should be mutually exclusive with event 980029 (double offmap ressources). <AcknTT>
31 Event 15083 should not enable tech 6730 (1938 Infantry Division). <AkknTT>
32 Some JAP and MAN units on the soviet border should be locked. <Rafn> (next three posts)[color=#FF0000]
38 Ensure that all puppet countries have "war = 0" set in their A.I. files to prevent auto-DoW for seperate war against master's foes. <VoO> - done for CXB, IND, IRQ, MAN, PHI, U02
49 Event 15072 should not grant tech 6730.
50 Event 20031 checks whether non-existant events 2024 (should be 370450) and 2046 (should be 370452) have fired.

# Land - Land Combat STR damage (All land based units attacks against other land based units)
0.12 # 0.11 # was 0.075
# Land - Land Combat ORG damage (All land based units attacks against other land based units)
