Having for some time played the original HOI I decided to try the CORE mod. The installation went well and all is working fine, except that when I start the game with Germany I have -25 diplomatic influence. I didnt choose any of the addiotional difficulty options. Is this a bug or is it meant to be so low? And if so, how come? Otherwise the mod is looking far more interesting than the vanilla HOI.

No, the -25 DI is right. It's a balance issue. Underthe original HoI set up, Germany was able to influence far too many nations inot its camp, and gain numerous ahistorical alliances before 1939. It was just too easy for Germany, either for a player or by the AI, to become a super power by 1937/38. Under this set up, Germany is right on track come 1940/41, and has plenty of DI to do what needs to be done.
