I started improving the tech teams of the Spanish Kingdom which exists in the 1914 scenario. The first impression when playing is that they are all messed up (still credit to the people who actually tried to improve things).

I think those are enough for Spain. The tech file also contains the teams of Francoist Spain so I'll do them later as many of them are going to be upgraded. Techs for the Spanish Republic are on a separate file.

Great!

I suggest you also add events for all the changes the Prime Ministers of Spain during WWI .:
https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/España_en_la_Primera_Guerra_Mundial#Neutralidad_espa.C3.B1ola

In 1917 there was a "crisis of the Spanish" during the Spanish situation has worsened due to the economic difficulties. It can add an event?

Spain remained neutral throughout World War I, but favored the Central Powers. I think you might add event truce if Spain joined the war against Germany:
Germany wins with France:
Spain turns to his country of its former territories - Oran and Perpignan
Germany losing the war:
Spain lost to the British Bata and Morocco.

I can't add events with the exception of grammar corrections ad small things which I reverse engineered like dissent slides or manpower changes with an already made event.
Please note that I will add the files containing the teams for Kingdom of Spain in 1914 after I do the Francoist Spain teams and pics as they are on the same file and I don't wan't to mess things even more. So, I'll do Denmark and Greece very soon and then will resume my work on Francoist Spain.
I won't forget.
