Unlock Portugal.
1. Open patch.pack with a hex editor.
2. Search for hex values: 70006C0061007900610062006C0065
You will get 12+3 results which are the factions marked as "playable".
3. Any "playable" faction:
(RED) - Replace "playable" with "minor" and the value of that dot to 5 (original 8). That number is the length of the string.
4. (ORANGE) - Replace "minor" with "playable" and the value of the dot to 8 (original 5).
5. (GREEN) - Replace the values of the two dots to 1 (original 0).

Remember! Make backups!
If the file is modified by even 1 byte, it will crash upon load.

There is also unverified information about SDK coming with next weeks patch.
All you need to do is to unpack the game an delete "units_to_special_editions_juncs"-data in the db/units_to_special_editions_juncs_tables folder of your unpacked game! To get Death's Head Hussars, not confirmed if this gives other special units.
