I have never actually succeeded in capturing Paris in 1914 which probably speaks volumes about my skills as a WW1G Player. Sigh...
Will tinker with this, see what can be done and post updates as available. Please stand by for questions and requests for clarifications as necessary. For starters, if possible this may involve changes to the MapAreas.csv and Units.csv (which have a global impact of the game) and assorted scenario files (Detachments.csv and Nations.csv as a minimum , which affect only the scenario being run) so how would you like it all packaged up?
As far as I know, the Citadel at Brest-Litovsk actually dated from the gunpowder era and had never been updated significantly along with the lines of the fortresses constructed in the 1890's to protect the frontiers I.E. Novogeorgievsk, Osoweicz, Grodno etc. Have never attempted to add fortresses before but will try, a cursory look at the files appears positive. How about a reduced fortress for Brest if possible as I recall that Norman Stone (The Eastern Front 1914-17) refers to the fortifications there as obsolete and outdated.
Increasing Belgium preparedness should be fairly easy to do and I might suggest adding another Corps to the Field Army, which was nominally six-infantry divisions when mobilized. I also need to know if you're using the stock Units.csv file or something else if you wish to add another Belgian Corps to the OOB.

I have only secceded in taking Paris in 1914 few times, you need a lot of luck to succeded.
- "Good" (for you) french warplan (plan XVII ou XVI for France), plan XX is the perfect anti-Schliffen plan.
- good weather
- reaching Mons before the BEF
- early fall of Anvers.
- No transfer of two veteran corps in the East

It still could be tweaked so that an unchallenged march deep behind the enemy lines wouldn't be possible.

The appropriate line is:

In real life I don't think it was possible to march a German cavalry corps unopposed to Paris. My goal is that it is not possible in the game either.

Good summary there, Random.
I can only add that the commanders of the Geraman armies that were to rush through Northern France hindered it each other on the way to Paris, disturbing each others marching columns, because evrybody, and especially von Kluck, wanted the honour to take the enemy capital for themselves.
