Next bugs to fix: Modifiers, technology...?

[HansWormhat EvW-Dev]

Moving forward I want to look into fixing bugs related to the above 3 areas.  This is my plan:

1. Modifiers:  As far as I can see, they are completely unbalanced.  Early in the game the revolt risks everywhere are much too high, causing rampant rebels that are historically inaccurate.  There are some other areas where this is a problem as well, but this is where it's most evident.  What I think would work is, to rebalance the modifiers for most of the events and conditions (all of which seem exaggerated, my guess is due to testing purposes) more towards what exists in Vanilla HoI, then adjust accordingly based on EvW's timeline.  It will be a chore, but it's pretty simple data entry.

2. Technology:  From my experience it seems like tech research is extremely stagnant.  Personally I feel like tech research speeds are slower than they need to be and usually more expensive.  I need your input on this, as in what would be more realistic and fair in terms of speed and price.

3-?:  I'm not sure.  I'd like to get the election interface working (seems like a small graphical fix using photoshop) and diplomacy (UN's decisions seem odd, maybe it's just me).

That's what I think I'll move to until someone with more access to the source code can fix the fuel supply problem.

Economy/market! My production income shouldn't fluctuate between 250 and 40 within a couple of weeks and then take months to bounce back again with no change in either commodity price nor profit figures on the factories.

That's not something I've ever experienced in any of my games but I'll look into it.  Maybe try a few more nations and see what's up.

The elephant in the room of course is doing a complete rebalance of the global economy. Currently to get the game up and running the original devs just placed down random factories in weird places, like equal number of factories for each country. We need to ensure that the USA and USSR are dominating global manufacturing in 1946. This means we should do a full global supply chain analysis to understand fully global demand for inputs and outputs of goods.

Technology is weird. Investing more into it(through policies) counts as a longer timespan. Investing less counts as faster research times.

haha hadn't noticed that. That's an easy thing to do

I second policies and tech, first thing is to actually add some modifiers that make sense on the policies (balancing them will be a long process anyway). Tech needs to be added to some countries that should have the proper tech. Plus some of it is definitely bugged, I couldn't add it and others went much slower than they should have, even with full funding and me always running a surplus.
