== Features ==

* The Discrimination system has been overhauled. Instead of a binary accepted or not accepted status, Pops will now have an Acceptance value from 0-100. This value is determined by Culture and Religion first and foremost and depends on the Citizenship laws you have enacted. Depending on the value, they have one of five Acceptance statuses. Also depending on the Citizenship laws in your country, there are different effects being applied to these statuses.
* The Citizenship and Church and State laws have been reworked and a variety of new modifiers have been added.
* When pops first migrate into a state, they now start at a low cultural acceptance value which will improve over time as their Cultural Community matures
* Passing a law that makes some culture more accepted in your country will now cause them to gravitate towards that acceptance level over time, rather than gaining the full acceptance value they're legally entitled to by law immediately
* Reworked the Political Movement system completely. Political Movements are no longer temporary entities which just want to enact or stop a single law, but long-term ideological/cultural/religious forces that try to reshape the country in their image. In addition to helping or hindering the enactment of laws, movements can also pressure interest groups, resulting in a chance for those interest groups to get leaders with ideologies fitting for the movement.
* Reworked Secessions and Revolutions to work with the new Political Movement system. All civil wars now come from a specific movement and either aim to put that movement in charge of the country, or to secede. Secessions are no longer always culture-based and the old, highly random and turmoil-based cultural secession system has been removed from the game.
* Added a new subject track for Colonial countries
* Added a highly autonomous Chartered Company subject type, centered around income transfer to its overlord
* A social hierarchy system has been added. It is based on social classes which can be defined by a lot of things. In the base hierarchy, the only conditions are professions which result in the Strata setup as it was before, e.g. Aristocrats in Upper Strata, Peasants in Lower Strata.
* For India, we have added the British Caste System. Its classes are different than the base hierarchy. It only affects Pops of Hindu religion with South Asian Heritage. It comes with its own law group which will affect the flavored social classes directly, depending on which law is active.
* Added a Food Security value which measures how easy or difficult it is for a Pop to acquire the food they need to survive. It's based on availability of goods and how much of their money a Pop needs to spend on food.
* Adjusted Pop Starvation to be based on Food Security. Mild and Severe Starvation have drastic effects on birth rate, mortality and radicalization.
* Added 13 harvest conditions that can trigger around the world affecting rural buildings and infrastructure
* Added a map mode that tracks starvation levels globally
* Added a map list panel for the starvation map mode
* Added a resync button to multiplayer games when the game goes out of sync. If the host presses this all clients will immediately resync with the host and the game can continue.
* Companies now can own buildings. To establish them you will need to possess some country-owned building levels or pay a lump sum to transfer the levels from existing other owners to the company (depending on the economic law). Once established, a Company HQ building is constructed in a fitting state.
* Company HQs can use the investment pool in order to construct new buildings or buy existing building levels. They will prefer to invest locally up to a certain level before spreading their influence.
* Company throughput and construction efficiency bonuses now only apply to the levels they own directly or which they are constructing. To compensate for this, these bonuses have been drastically increased.
* States and their cities and towns can now change name based on things like the culture of their owner
* States and their cities and towns can now be renamed by the player
* Military formations can now be moved to fronts, HQs, and sea nodes using right-click
* Multiple formations can now be selected and deployed or stationed together
* You can now drag to select military formations with the mouse
* Added Bulk Nationalization to the Building Registry window. Pressing the "Nationalize Filtered Buildings" will open a window which only includes your filtered buildings. In it, you can choose how many of these levels you want to nationalize and which ownership type they belong to.
* Added pause on event setting to the message settings window. It will unpause after all events are resolved (will show Paused by Event message). If a player wants to keep the game paused just unpause the game while events haven't been resolved it will return the game to normal pausing mode.

== Improvements ==

* It is now possible to add some types of wargoals (such as conquering/returning states) on behalf of subjects that are on your side in a diplomatic play. The infamy is added to the overlord adding the wargoal.
* When a revolution ends or a secession is crushed, the pre-civil war capital state is now restored to capital status if it ended up siding with the rebels
* Pop types now check for starvation rather than Standard of Living to determine their level of political engagement
* Sphere of Influence: Made the Ideological Union Power Bloc action "Force Regime Change" more usable. Instead of looking if the total difference in progressiveness is above 100, it's now enough if one of the two categories is different enough. Additionally, the minimum Cohesion value to activate it has been reduced from 50 to 25.
* It is now always possible to use the 'Increase Autonomy' and 'Independence' war goals when being directly targeted by your overlord in a diplomatic play
* Deaths related to wars are now tracked by culture, and each participant will lose War Support relative to their acceptance status for the cultures of dead pops on both sides (to different degrees). The implication of this is that it will be easier to stay in wars if your country discriminates against the cultures of combatant pops, and harder if you're a very accepting country in a war where either party uses their population as cannon fodder.
* Changed the Doctrine of Lapse from a decision to a subject interaction
* Overlords are now able to support their subjects in a war regardless of their relations level
* Taxation levels will now alter the expected standard of living, in lieu of directly generating radicals
* Which states will side with the rebels in a civil war now depends on the type of support it can bring in. Popular Support tends to result in more states overall rebelling, Military Support tends to result in a greater share of the army/navy rebelling, and Wealth Support tends to result in overseas colonies rebelling. Additionally, insurrectionary IGs will tend to pull in areas where they have a high degree of the local clout.
* Colonies will be stopped from growing if they are isolated from their market
* Frontier Colonization now allows the player to colonize states that border a sea zone that also borders any state connected by land to your capital
* Cooperative Ownership now only affects collectivization of Manufacturing, Resource Extraction and Power Plant buildings. Collectivization of agriculture, plantations and ranching is fully controlled by the land ownership law instead.
* Pro and Anti Lobbies now care about the acceptance status of your country's primary cultures in the target country, in addition to the mere presence of the primary culture
* Restricted the Social Mobility decree to not be usable under enforced caste system laws
* Adjusted France's starting navies so that none of them start with an organization penalty
* Added logging potential to Kyushu (Thanks to user ThatStrategist and many other people for the feedback!)
* When a country changes ruler, if the new ruler already rules another country, a Personal Union is established automatically
* Added dynamic state and hub names for Eastern Europe
* Replaced outdated uses of "Morale Cap" modifier with appropriate modifiers
* Added a new game rule, which is turned off by default. The game rule enables the player to set a grace period of 1, 5, or 10 years during which gains of both Radicals and Loyalists start out low and are progressively increased. Players are encouraged to use this game rule to give themselves a more stable political early game.
* Radicals and Loyalists from Standard of Living (only) are no longer scaled down by default in the early game, leading to unbalanced changes to Radicals and Loyalists from e.g. events
* Industry Banned law now decreases Economic Dependence on Overlord, while Extraction Economy law increases it
* The Devout is no longer very racist by default
* Reduced Japan's starting territories in Hokkaido to the Wajinchi area
* Removed Japan's starting claim on Sakhalin to stop them immediately colonizing the island, and gave them a starting colonization debuff modifier. Claim will be re-added and modifier removed once you complete the Honorable Restoration Journal Entry
* Reworked the map, pop, and culture setup for India and Burma
* The British East India Company now starts with many of its recently-acquired territories as unincorporated states
* Support Independence now increases Liberty Desire in the subject country by a small amount each week
* Unpopular agitators are no longer removed from the game, unless their popularity sinks all the way to -100
* The Andaman and Nicobar islands are no longer impassible
* Events triggered by monthly and yearly pulses are now spread out better
* When you click any of the privatization or subsidy buttons that affect all buildings of a type it will now flag that type so that all new buildings also get that setting
* Added a small experience gain effect for military units to the Military Drill technology (previously had no effect)
* acw_events.5.b now moves part of an existing slave pop from a neighboring slave state rather than create a new pop from thin air
* Made the Abdicate and Resign interactions more visible during valid revolutions
* VTM - Added a cultural trait for the Assyrian culture
* VTM - Added the Turkic cultural trait to cultures that were missing it
* Renamed New Brunswick into Maritimes
* Made Rubber Rush events appear less often
* References for GPU splines were removed from the game shaders
* Changed Isolated Colony alert type to Alert by default

== AI ==

* The AI is now less willing to accept diplomatic play support in exchange for a bankroll from a country which is already the target of other bankrolls
* AI will be less likely to start wars over unrecognized subjects of recognized nations
* Ensured sure that the AI generally wants to pass Police if it has none
* Tweaked some technology weights so that Prussia pursues a military tech advantage over Austria/France when it wants to unify Germany
* The AI no longer puts extra value on conquering split states when they have a Treaty Port in that state

== Balance ==

* VTM - Historical characters are no longer immune to being cycled through as Interest Group leaders
* Abdication/Resign From Office can now only be used when the ruler or their Interest Group actually disapproves of the law being enacted (and the ruler does not personally approve), and no longer increases loyalists across the entire country
* Bankroll and Fund Lobbies money transfer amounts are now capped at 10% of the sender's income
* The number of loyalists gained from Standard of Living increases should now match the number of radicals gained from standard of living decreases, barring major changes to the country between when the SoL was gained/lost. This means that you can no longer 'print loyalists' by fiddling around with taxes and that events which temporarily increase SoL are no longer a bad thing as they don't generate net radicals.
* Wages for more accepted Pops are now higher under more discriminatory laws, and wages for less accepted Pops are lower, meaning that becoming more tolerant will overall flatten wages and result in reduced Standard of Living for your primary culture/religion pops
* Interest Groups now add Stall chance for laws if they are Unhappy or Angry, whether they are in government or not now only matters for adding success chance
* Agitators now provide a large amount of movement attraction relative to the fraction of a pop that are part of their interest group, meaning that they can be used to pull their Interest Group towards being pressured by (and thus, getting leader ideologies from) their chosen movement
* Grant Leadership to Agitator now requires the agitator's Interest Group to be pressured by their movement
