- Changed province count for many of the larger cities.
- Changed infantry tech tree to be less binary and allow all three paths of weapons to be viable, adding another tier of weapons to each branch.

- Power armour does not use energy cells and counts to the special forces cap.
- Changed support company techs and units by giving them all their own unique Niche to work with. The tech tree emphasizes more meaningful choices, while reducing. Many of the old companies were cut for this, because of redundancy.
- Adjusted vehicles to work with the addition of fuel costs, and to hopefully make them more useful. APC’s having gotten the most drastic change, they are combat width 4 now.

Two types of robots are now present, more infantry like robots, and more tank oriented ones. Support and Combat robots respectively.

- Changed strategic resources names, icons and their use. They are Water, Energy, Scrap, Composite, Circuitry, and Advanced Alloys.
- Changed the distance trade relation modifier to make trading a more harsh thing with far away nations, some Mexican nations have additional penalties to trading outside the Mexico area. Opinion modifiers also influence these values much more heavily.
- Changed state coring system. Major nations can now core states. Cost is based on state’s population, your overall cored population and distance from the capital. The bigger your nation is, the higher the cost will be.
- Changed House’s portrait to the animated version.
