#EXE changes:

###############

* Tweaked Nuke AI targeting:

- nukestriketolerance now is used as the starting value in Nuke evaluation – the higher it is, the more often the AI will use nukes. It is recommended to set this a bit under 0.0 to order the AI to nuke bigger enemy Core provinces. Good values in most cases are about -50 to -20

- nukestrikedesirability is used as a multiplier on the final value if it is > 0.0. A good value seems to be about 50.0. If set to 0.0 or less the AI will not use nukes at all.

* Damage to infrastructure taken by nukes uses 0.1 steps to allow rebuilding back to 100% infra.

* Fixed Remaining infra after nuking cannot be less than 1 step (0.1 or 10%) to avoid AI problems.

* Allowed IC in provinces to be reduced to 0 from nukes (was limited to 0.1 IC before)

* Fixed a problem with saving of damaged IC - sometimes it could be wrongly restored upon reload

* Fixed a bug with <strength> command not being applied to units in the redeployment pool that haven’t been deployed to the map yet.

* Tweaked Light Levels on provinces in Diplomatic Map mode (in general all were too dark).

* Fixed bugs with events and decisions availability on change of TAG

* Fixed occasional CTD problems after change of TAG

* Fixed missing leaders on multiple change of TAG commands in the same game session.

* Fixed CTD on game load with extra logs (settings.cfg) enabled. Only if there are naval brigades in the redeployment pool of a country.

* Changed the hard-coded minimal MP cost for units from 0.1 to 0.001 MP.

* Code optimizations for the generic events

* Set policy slider to 0 on country creation for locked sliders (every policy_effects.csv - MANUAL_OR_ BY_INFLUENCE _MOVES)

* Puppeting/Coups/GoI cannot change locked sliders (every policy_effects.csv - MANUAL_OR_ BY_INFLUENCE _MOVES) anymore

* Fixed a bug with selectable game maps preventing read of tiles.bmp form Map_X located in MODDIR if there is no such file in default Map_X folder.

* Made upgrade to model and type moddable for every brigade/unit:

- Upgrade type and model can be specified in brigade/division files. For example to upgrade LArm-2 to ARM-2 add armor = 2 into the model = { } entry for L-Arm-2 in light_armor.txt

- This is optional and can be skipped. By default every unit/brigade is upgradeable to the next model of the same type with 2 exceptions:

1. LArm-2 by default upgrades to ARM-2

2. All ships by default do not upgrade

- It is possible to specify upgrade to a model of the same type also. For example, INT-4 can be set to upgrade to INT-7 directly and skip the two rocket interceptor models in interceptor.txt, simply by adding interceptor = 7

- It is also possible to forbid a specific model to be upgraded at all. To do that set its upgrade model to -2. For example, INT-6 could be set as non-upgradeable even if there is an INT-7 model by adding interceptor = -2

* Fixed a bug with upgrade time and cost of brigades (current model modifiers were used instead of the modifiers for the next model).

* “Do not upgrade” button for naval units set to be available only if there is at least one brigaded ship in the fleet or at least one ship that can be upgraded.

* Updated Statistic page to show upgrade progress on Stat. pages for naval units too.

* Added new optional division/brigades models parameter: upgrade_time_boost = yes/no. When it is set to yes (default value) upgrade time for models 2 or more levels obsolete will be reduced (as in vanilla). When set to NO there will be no upgrade time reduction for older models.

* Changed default values of upgrade_time_factor and upgrade_cost_factor from 0.0 to 1.0.

* Fixed CTD bug on remove_division command if this division is in the build queue.

* Fixed CTD bug on remove_division command if this division is currently selected by the player.

* Fixed a bug with the availability of some missions (like Amphibious assault) against rebels when the country is not at war with anyone.

* Fixed a bug with the optional (misc.txt, ai section) conquer province rules (AI masters can be set to get all provinces conquered by AI puppets) preventing AI puppets from occupying provinces when the AI master is not at war with the 3rd country.

* Fixed an AI bug with transport fleets wandering in and out of port at random.

* Fixed CTD on strenght command wrongly applied to brigades in (re)deployment pool

* Fixed CTD on delete via event command of division currently into the redeployment pool of another country

* Added new option to events: [all = yes/no (default)]. When such event is triggered by command it will be executed for all countries in TAG = { } list or to all countries in the world when no TAG = { } list is specified.

* Triggered by a command event with TAG = { } list will not be executed for the current sountry if it is not into the TAG list (and no [all = yes] option set).

* Fixed a bug with occasional deleteted land units in MP cooperative games during unit split from the second country (hourly, noticed on higher game speeds).

* Fixed a bug with invasion AI ordering and canceling amphibious attacks at the same game hour.

* Fixed display flickering on multiplayer game start.

* Fixed non-allied AI puppets and masters to not spy on each other anymore.

* Fixed a bug with serial production lines upgrade to another unit/brigade type.

* Fixed a bug with serial production lines upgrade of unattached brigades.

* Fixed a bug with supply convoys set from masters to puppets.

* Fixed no music in Vanilla bug.

* Fixed a bug with lost attachments bonuses on sold ships.

* Fixed bugs with transfer of controlled enemy provinces to allies that have cores/claims on those.

* Fixed a CTD on update of AI war targets list.

* Disbanded items in production queue added by scenario files (without "manpower = ..." entry) return MP to MP pool now.

* Fixed a bug with supply convoys not sending fuel in some cases.

* Fixed a bug with supply convoys sending too much supplies in some cases.

* Tweaked secede provinces to alies AI.

* Added new optional revolt.txt parameter defining list of countries that are not allowed to release the country. no = { TAG1 TAG2 … TAGx }

* Expanded alliance_leader command to work with current alliance too
