# Balance

##################################

- operations will now higher cost as you execute same operation on same targets (default is 15%. rescue operation is still 0%. Some exceptions are 25%)

- neutral countries no longer allowed to create collaborations

- compliance is now halved (instead of factored by 75%) when a state controller is changed

- destroying the counter-revolution now prevents France from descending into another civil war against the fascists from low stability again

- Danzig and Memel are no longer required for forming Poland-Lithuania

- Memel is no longer required for forming the United Baltic States

- Political violence can no longer return to France if France has capitulated

- unprepared offensive modifier in SCW now also affect CAS impacts

- Decrease Base manpower lost in resistance attack to 1.5% from 2.5%

- Along with Niceto Alcalá-Zamora as a leader, the Republicans will now, after the 1936 elections, receive a National Spirit reducing their political power income. Along with Zamora's trait and various tweaks and adjustments made to the political power gained through events and Republican focuses, this should make the flow of Garrison Control fighting before the SCW much more natural. Now, Nationalists get an initial advantage and a 'head start', but if the Republicans correctly focus on delaying the civil war initially, they will be rewarded and eventually be able to take more states back from the Nationalists than if they focus on taking states from the very start. Delaying the civil war should therefore be more enticing as a strategy.

- Increased tech stealing bonuses to 300% from 200%

- Increased tech stealing extra bonus outcomes to also give either 1 or 2 year ahead of time bonuses also

- Tech stealing can now unlock techs, uses weights on tech picking to prefer more up to date and equipment for a more rewarding bonus
