Thank you for this patch. Just some things I've noticed while playing.

One, gaining Inpendence as India through the long goodbye is impossible because it requires you to take focused not available to achieve full independence. You can't upgrade from a Dominion to full independence.

Also for Turkey. If Iraq takes Syria as a puppet, the Demascus Diltakt doesn't let you Annex Syria. If you click that option nothing happens.

I don't know if this last part is a bug or not. But there should really be a way to white peace the British as the Mughals if you push them out of India, and also you should have a easier way to annex the Princly states.

Again, thank you for your work to make the game better!

I've suggested this before, but could you make the focuses for Iran and Iraq to become puppets of their invaders available even if they capitulated? The focuses become unavailable after capitulating and I think they are made especially for those situations. Iraq historically only restored the regency after being completely occupied by the British. I'd like to submit only after completely losing, not halfway through the fight.

I'm glad you took the time to correct Turkey's focus. I hope you keep the bug fix momentum to include lots of fixes to the general game and not stop at GoE damage control.

Edit; I confused myself with another core, because this is still a GoE fix.

Thank you.

I do hope we get a slight rework of the basegame Raj/India focustree too. Pure railroad focuses, and airbases in the middle of your country are just not worth 70 days, sepcially when they are required to get to the good focuses...

Great to see that many technical stuff (like two facilities in one state) has been patched, and many difficulties with achievements for example.

But I still think, that the real problems are not even covered.

In the case of India there is plenty of 70 days focuses are not in the same pace as the other new trees. (Like getting one research bonus for something not that useful for a 70 days focus, or getting one civ for 70 day). Otherwise there is a lack of options to annex the princely states if you go for the mughal empire. And this is a big one, because it makes the tree almost pointless at that point. And there is like a bunch of this kind of stuff.

By Afghanistan I don't see any change log about the civil war. It's a major problem, that you CAN'T have at least as many divisions as your civil war opponent. It just literally breaks every path which moves you towards the civil wars.

By Iraq and Iran personally I don't lack anything big or compactfull. Maybe the lack of resources is a big issue, or the fact that you must conquer the world for any real territorial or industrial gain.

Overall I think it's a good direction, that we are getting some kind of problem solving plan from the Devs. But from the other side I can't really feel, that the real problems are seen. The problem is not some issue with cosmetic tags or something like this. I think at least you should at least listen or watch the YouTubers suggestions (who already tested your newest elc before). But I don't want to complain always. Thank you for your work !

As someone who has been constantly mentioning this wherever possible, I am going to check this out right now using a new game.

Will report back.

Thank you for giving it attention. I am hoping for the best as I try it.

EDIT:

Solved.
I am so pleased that I will write it twice. Well done.

Can you add space above and below effect?

Right now triggers and effects for bypass are grouped into a small window that it will be difficult to read slightly larger effects.
