Arsenal of Democracy Patch v1.06

The latest patch for Arsenal of Democracy, adding several new things along with fixing bugs and glitches. View details in More Information.

Tweaks to Japan AI

Lower 1918 Infantry default morale and organization

Chinese Industry relocation events now evacuate more of the IC provinces

JAP AI will now seek to land in support of the drive from Northern China rather than open a second front in Guangxi.

Lowered effectiveness of Logistical Strike mission

Increased manpower gained by UK during gearing up for war events

Increased starting manpower pools for Nationalist China,UK,USSR,Italy and USA

Refined AI assignment of sliders in case of low manpower

AI now cycles builds through the build queue regularly to ensure all builds receive some IC

AI will no longer lengthen serials if build queue is too large

AI will operate within provinces with infrastructure damaged under 10%, but not in provinces with max infrastructure at 10% or lower

Fixed a bug where trade convoys could be set up from a country at war with one of the trade parties

Added locked garrisons on UK and Japanese Home Islands

Missing tech team pics (Pioniere)

Integration of updated ministers and leaders

Some new minister,leader,tech pics ( credits to Vaximillian, Leonaru,Bestmajor and Kunadam. )

Added Pioniere's province pictures

Increased AI research preferences for doctrines trees

High IC majors will now build nuclear reactors and rocket test sites

Disbanding a division will return its supply/oil to its supply province stockpile, a division killed in combat will return half ( only applicable for land units )

Increased MIL manpower,supply consumption,decreased morale and organization

Typo in USSR.txt - max org = organization

Reduced Croatia revolter territories to avoid "trapping" German units in Yugoslvaia,confusing the AI

Corrections to invasions and strait calculations

AI fleets should no longer be able to move fleets behind straits if distances too great ( German invasion of Ethiopia while Suez and Gribraltar straits still British )

Fixed an issue where upon removing an oil using brigade from a non oil using division would cause a residual infinitesimal consumption that would never go away ( permanent out of oil status )

Corrected an instance where the same delayed events could fire multiple times

Adapted some tech effects to properly display digits ( among them supply and fuel consumptions,morale,org,manpower )

England AI will keep more troops home when at war

Additional info shown by "debugAI" command

If low on manpower during wartime the AI will refrain from building more units and focus more on reinforcing and upgrading existing units

Added Org penalty to the USSR Great Purge effects,increased dissent for not choosing Purge and delayed Purge recovery if Germany has not yet attacked.

Implemented system for detailed AI attachment preferences. Details in event commands.txt, "military" section

USSR Great Purge recovery events now properly slept when choosing not to purge

Purge Recovery will conclude on its own early 1942 if no Barbarossa or unsuccessful Barbarossa

AI now properly assings IC to the Infrastructure slider in peacetime as well

Toned down USA's naval builds

Updated model names ( Courtesy of the "Several naming issues" thread contributors )

Uploaded additional propaganda pictures

Added new misc.txt variable, _EV_CORE_PROV_EFF_RISE_TIME_, influencing efficiency regain in liberated core provinces
