This release introduces a second cold war system requiring a democratic bloc leader and authoritarian bloc leader. The Call Ally CB is much more functional, meaning AI is now able to effectively call allies into existing wars beyond the initial call to arms, and propaganda was reworked to be a gradual yet more effective increase in ideological support.
This also featured various tweaks and bugfixes such as fixing Korea formation via third party, executive orders no longer being blocked by elections, tweaks to some terrains in Kola peninsula, tweaking government corruption mechanic to account for civil service reforms, among others.
