Main Changes

No Tradebacks

• There is no production penalty from lacking resources until WW2 starts.
• DO NOT TRADE FOR RESOURCES WHILE THIS APPLIES!

Peacetime Training

• While at peace, training army units, air wings, and naval task forces is significantly faster, and consumes less fuel.
• Training air wings grants significantly more air XP.
• "One division training" is implemented as a national spirit, instead of as a physical division.

Faster General Grinding

• Trait grinding is twice as fast as vanilla.
• Finishing traits does not reduce the speed of grinding further traits.

Free Designs & Licenses

• Divisions templates and equipment designs do not cost XP to modify.
• Licensing equipment does not cost civilian factories, though the vanilla license production debuff still applies.
