The next suggestion is more difficult for me to post, as I can understand that someone might be offended by the reduction of the atrocities commited by the Nazi Regime to an in game economical choise. Therefore I wish to state that I have no intention to offend anyone in any way!
Decision moment should be very early on. Ideally in a pre-1939 scenario (Fall Schwarz?). In 1938 before the Reichstag Fire, a discussion is going on about the ethics vs economy of the Nazi Regime.
Decision:
Should Germany stop the discrimination of minorities that are concidered "less German"?
No: Outcome similar to current game
Yes: The following effects:
Less funds from disowning
* Germany starts with less infrastructure and delay of shipbuilding program (surface ships become available at only strength 5-8 instead of 10).
* Plunder of countries is reduced to .. (50?) %
Higher quality of leadership because of less influence of Nazi partyleaders on commissions
* Adding of an extra lvl 8/9 General (Guderian?)
* less effect of russian winter because of better winter eqp
Larger forcepool both in Germany as in conquered territories and less resistance to occupant
* Adding of volunteer units
* lower chance for partisan activities
Scientists stay in Germany
* Increase of research speed for Germany + decrease for United states (simulate by intel +1 and / or a higher invest maximum for Germany? Influence on atom bomb development (Honch?).
Of course it will be very difficult to game balance the initial disadvantages and the later advantages for Germany in the Game, but I surely hope that someone with 100+ posts and modexp would be able to work out this WHAT IF? the nazi regime would have been less criminal.
