Both the chance of Bulgarian mobilization increasing every turn after Belgrade has been captured, and the % by which it would increase, have been raised.

Now, there is a 50% chance every turn of Bulgaria moving 2-5% towards the Central Powers once Belgrade has been captured. This is in addition to the 10-20% increase when Belgrade is taken.
