somehow you broke broken coasts decisions this is the error log: [14:39:46][effect.cpp:319]: Invalid effect 'VIC' in common/decisions/_BRK_decisions.txt line : 232

This is only a portion

If you go Down the elite special forces line it does not give you the special forces tech so you cannot add any more to the division in designer

Could you change the BOS focus so that Arroyo has a choice to join the BOS as i sided with the NCR but the BOS forced me on their side.

I'll take a look at it, I thought I had fxed that.

if you allies with new reno and vault city you become a major and cant core even with no added land.
secondly when you take arroyo chosen you can't change the squad to add more chosens.... but no problem when going the power armor side

Just a thought but maybe some special events or focuses can be added for relations between Arrayo and New Reno if Mr. Bishop rules Reno? He is the Chosen One's child after all.

One of the focuses hints at that relationship, it's possible that could be expanded upon in some fashion in a future update. Probably not through focuses though.

is there a bug in the diplomacy branch now? it says diplomacy itself is mutually exclusive with BOS and NCR and not the independent alliance branch

Appears to be a left over from the rework of that part of the tree I ended up scraping. It'll get fixed in the planned Karma update which also touches on that part of the tree and expands the NCR BOS alliance paths.

The second focus "A New Home", the "Focus the G.E.C.K. on food production" says it gives a Nation Spirit of Monthly Population: +50% and +5000 Manpower, and while the Monthly Population +50% might be working, the +5000 Manpower more adds up to under 200 manpower.

It's actually not supposed to be 5000 *manpower*, that's a quirk of HOI4 and it's terminology. It's actually adding 5000 total population (civilian and military) to the state of Arroyo (state id 337). Which depending on your laws and such gives you about 200ish manpower. It does however boost your manpower gain in that state by a lot. Originally I wanted that focus to only apply to the state Arroyo and be much higher (like 250%+ monthly growth) but it's not possible to apply that particular modifier to a single state, rather it only works country wide. So adding manpower to the state directly is a sort of workaround for that.

The Focus "Rebuild the Maw" requires you to have Mount St. Helens occupied in order to core Port Maw territory, but that state is owned by the Washington Brotherhood right out of the gate. Not sure if there was a state ID that got changed with the update to 3.0, so I decided to mention it here.
