Update: 22 Jun @ 8:09pm

Patch 1.10.1 - A number of minor additions, such as:
- An introductory event for all players (meant to guide people to the Lore Centre)
- Navigation tabs for the Austrian, Italian, and Russian focus trees
- A close tie has been forged between Russia and Bulgaria
- A victory point for Detmold, the capital of Lippe (so Potato doesn't watch me sleep anymore)
Also present are some major bugfixes, such as:
- Kaiser Wilhelm II and Hans Vogel actually die ingame now
- Russia will now (hopefully, for real this time) accurately change color and swap military leader portraits when plunging into its focus-fired civil war
- Some localization mistakes have been fixed

Patch 1.10 - THE CENTRAL UPDATE
Outdoing a nine-month wait with a wait of thirteen months, I bring you reworks for the German Empire, the Kingdom of Italy, the Federal State of Austria, the Ethiopian Empire, and the Sultanate of Aussa. In particular, this update adds:
- A full focus tree rework for the German Empire, the Kingdom of Italy, and Federal State of Austria
- Revisions and retrofits for the Ethiopian Empire
- Aussa’s focus tree now has a significant degree of exclusivity in its capabilities
- The Brotherhood Alliance is now stronger and more united; majors are forbidden from leaving and minor members may be expelled
- The Lore Centre, where the mod’s lore (both general and nation-specific) is freely posted for those wishing to read it, has been added for all nations’ decision tab
- Massive changes to state populations, reflecting more accurate distributions of their inhabitants
- Some states have been given more region-specific or unique names; others have been merged together to eliminate unnecessary desert enclaves
- New states have been added, such as New York City, Keisho, and Essen
- The borders of Kuwait and Kashmir have been tweaked
- Slovakia now has a new government and a new leader (Milan Hodža)
- Certain formable nation decisions (those added or modified by the mod) light up the borders of the intended nation
- The game menu’s GUI now links to mod-related socials; unnecessary buttons have been removed
- Nations with vanilla focus trees and no impending rework plans have had those trees disabled
- New achievements, portraits (rather; German and Austrian portraits have been modified to fit their current governments), and flags, and…
- A great quantity of minor bug fixes.
That barely scratches the surface; there is quite a lot packed into this update! Enjoy!

Patch 1.9.2 - Changed the mod icon, added new cities in Kamerun and the Belgian Congo, fixed Botswana's sole victory point's historicity, changed the Governors of British and German Central Africa, created a separate strategic region for Bohemia, prevented nations from renaming the same city over and over, and made it slightly easier for the Russian monarchists to win the election.

Patch 1.9.1 - THE BARENTS UPDATE
(Also included: a hotfix for the countries added with the "Trial of Allegiance" DLC.)
The Russian Empire, the Nordic countries, and much of South America have received a complete overhaul. This is, to date, the LARGEST update to the mod in its history! (And I apologize for the nine-month wait...)
- Russia's focus tree is now a gargantuan behemoth brimming with content and choices to make.
- The focus trees of "Arms Against Tyranny" (namely Norway, Sweden, and Denmark) and "Trial of Allegiance" (Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Paraguay, and Uruguay) are now totally functional and have also been reworked.
Other content has been added, including:
- New advisors and leaders for countries like Persia and Mongolia
- Improvements/fixes for certain flags
- The releasable nations of Åland, the Faroe Islands, and Kashmir
- New starting leaders for Algeria, Brittany, Galicia and Lodomeria, and British West Africa
- Numerous portrait redos
- A rework to Malaysian states
- New monarch spirits in countries that mysteriously lacked them (such as Transylvania and Vietnam)
A great number of other bugfixes are also present, including:
- The populations of Northern French states have been fixed
- Brittany now has a starting military
- Certain countries can no longer break their focus trees by prematurely holding ideology referendums (lookin' at you, Brazil)
- Advisors' icons no longer overlap with the frame
- Simplified certain syntaxes
- Certain cities and states in the Balkans now have more accurate names
- The Ottoman Empire is no longer green
All of this, and so much more! Enjoy!

Patch 1.8.4 - Renamed as many Russian cities as I could to be not communist. That is no longer part of the lore. It was stupid anyways. Also slightly altered their color.

Patch 1.7.3 - Added Herzog’s and Savage’s portraits for those without TfV and fixed the system revolving around vanilla imports. Daladier has had a full portrait redo, same with Maniu and van Zeeland. Also fixed the Serbian communist path glitch where it appeared over the fascist path.
