- I have made the Baltics and Finland more eager to join Germany's faction, if Germany picked "Safeguard the Baltics" and/or "Support the Finns". As for other nations, there are focuses for this (the anti-soviet alliance would work akin to having them in your faction).
- Austria-Hungary can no longer form Greater Hungary.
- Austria-Hungary will only be formed by one country (usually Austria), preventing multiple annexations.
- Re-form Austria-Hungary will now change government to Unaligned (if not already Unaligned), and create Otto von Habsburg as country leader.
- Hungary can now form a Trade Deal with non-communist Germany.
- Kaiser can now also be returned if HOL was puppeted.
- "Break the Anglo-French Colonial Hegemony" now gives claims on Palau, Papua, and Samoa (thanks for noticing this!).
- "Reintegrate Luxemburg and Alsace-Lorraine" and "Reinstate Imperial Possessions" are now available if France was puppeted, or if Germany owns Alsace-Lorraine. It will also rename Alsace-Lorraine to Elsass-Lothringen, Strasbourg to Strassburg, and Mulhouse to Mulhausen.

- As for Japan going to war too quickly; I do not think 70 days should matter much, and by this point the game has gone extremely ahistorical already anyway. This won't be changed right now.
- Vichy France doesn't spawn with Alsace-Lorraine anyway, so I don't see the problem here. In any case, if they -do- own it, the above fix (enabling the focus in case France is puppeted) should fix that too.
- As for World Tension, I disagree. There are only 4-5 focuses in this path that increase WT by 5 each, which is a very modest increase. Things blowing up out of proportion due to an escalating war has its consequences. The WT gain in those focuses are intended to keep WT at a manageable level in case everything goes smoothly for Germany and no wars occur - in which case, WT would be incredibly low if these focuses did not increase it. From a completely rational point of view, Germany conquering all of Western Europe (whether defensive, offensive, or a mix of both) would cause some consternation in the eyes of the rest of the world, surely.

- Made those 2 focuses also transfer Alsace-Lorraine to Germany.
- Made "Danzig for Guarantees" rename Poznan state and province to Posen.
