- The AI will no longer use the world market if it has good enough conversion rates.
- The AI should be slightly smarter on the world market now, and no longer setup stupid trades.
- Improved AI for creating convoys. The AI should now be a fair bit better about transporting resources home.
- Countries that get independence during the game should now get their correct AI file (if they have a unique one.)
- Countries that change tag will now use the correct AI file (as specified in revolt.txt)
- Improved AI usage of expeditionary forces sent to it (they should now be correctly given to Front AI or Garrison AI).

- The "alliance" event command now also works for the leader of an alliance - used for example in the Molotov-Ribbentrop outcome where the USSR joins the Axis (so that works now).
- The "war" event command no longer cares about if diplomats can be sent or not.
- "coup_nation" and "make_puppet" event commands now work as intended.
