- Minor fix to top right resources highlight on market tab hover.
- European nations that have applied for EU membership, will now show as “Candidate” Instead of simply “Not a Member” under EU Alliance status. (Right Click on nation, Oval Office and Unit Information)
- Trade Conquest starts with: Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Moldova, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Serbia and Turkey as Candidates as reflected in 2022.
- Georgia will still become a Candidate in the same time frame as usual.
- New EU members or Declined members will show under “WorldNews” in your phones. (Home Icon)
- Criteria to become an official EU member. It needs to “NOT” have:
1. Allow Child Labor Law (1101 O)
2. Allow Forced Labor Law (651 O)
3. Authoritarian Government
4. Ongoing War or Civil War
5. National Unrest average of 6 or above.
- Because of these criteria additions, chances of the player’s “Candidate” nation becoming an EU member increases.
- Becoming an Authoritarian nation after EU membership does not affect your member status. (Just like before)
- Other minor fixes and balances
