I think this might be the first time I've nabbed a Dev Diary down to the second.

You know I'm still not sure if markets are Spheres of Influence or not. There are hints of that whole thing with customs unions a la Zollverein thing too so.

The new Soviet Tree looks amazing. Can't wait to see what kind of cheese there will be for Stalin's Paranoia or if its terrible there will at least be a mod for it.

I just hope that the nerfs to the army doesn't make it so that the game conforms to the myth that the nazis could have beaten the Soviets.

That depends mostly on if the AI can consistently un-nerf itself in time. Furthermore, IIRC the way they wanted the games to flow is that basically the German AI can beat the soviets unless the allies get involved.

Not ideal but its better than the German AI beating the Soviet AI by default.
Human Germany should be able to wreck the Soviet AI unless they run out of manpower. But in an AI vs AI battle the Soviets shouldn't ever lost unless the Allies and US join the war on the German side.

It makes sense when you consider it from the standpoint of multiplayer - Purely from a game enjoyment perspective, Germany has to have a chance at winning in some cases, otherwise it's just not gonna be as fun.
