AP Resolutions: Declare War (on a non-member), Force Peace (between two members), Religious victory, and Assign City are no longer eligible resolution actions.

Fail-gold: You never get fail-gold if you also completed the wonder somewhere else (so no National Wonder fail-gold, or doubling up on a wonder to guarantee yourself a paycheck. The game still informs you that you received "0 gold" from your hammers).

Hut techs: Can only gain techs from the first row of the tech screen:

Fishing, Wheel, Agriculture, Hunting, Mysticism, Mining,

Included additional bug fixes:

Trade route turn order bug.

Foreign trade route cities lost permanently when your city using those routes is destroyed (fix is taken from BTS unofficial patch).

Build culture double production.

Build wealth/research/culture + production automation double production.

Proposed trades including cities, where the cities no longer exist to be trades, are not cancelled (note: I consider this a bug because proposed trades are already cancelled if a player lacks the requisite e.g. resources/gold. could be considered not a bug).

Production decay counter on a type of build (e.g. axeman) is not reset after completing one if the next item in the queue is of the same type (fix is taken from BTS unofficial patch).

Feature growth/disappearance rates, and bonus discovery (mine pop) rates, do not scale with game speed.

Diplomacy Pausing: Diplomacy windows do not occur on game login whilst the game is paused.

Autosaves: Autosaves are generated at login and log out; log out saves are saved to a folder specified within the global defines XML file. Default location is C:\temp.

Observer mode

Observer mode is enabled and functional. Requires pitboss logging enabled, and for the host to run the observer program. Observer mode is then accessible at a preset web address. Only available in Pitboss, additional server side applications required for functionality, available from the following links.

Pitboss Observer: https://github.com/novice-rb/observer
Pitboss Portal: https://github.com/novice-rb/pitboss-portal

[Krill]

I also have an idea to help limit the issues with Astro beeline: it is possible to make a Project, unlocked at Astro, that allows everyone to make Galleons.

It is also possible to make it such that Galleons also require other infrastructure to be built ie cities must have a lighthouse or a harbour or other tech requirements. Specific reasoning for this: it removes distorting effects of Astro beeline from some maps due to islands. The Project does not have to have high cost, merely making it 50 hammers suffices. Frigates do not have to have this functionality, such that a Chemistry beeline is an effective method of controlling seas.

Also, this would require changing EIT and Carracks, but I view that as a wise idea anyway.

[GermanJoey]

Was there a huge issue with an Astro beeline before? Galleons can be held off by massed Caravels, its Frigates that are really hard to deal with if you're behind in tech. EIM - either irrelevant or horribly overpowered, something definitely should be done about it.

I'll give this new version a few whirls in SP... is there anything you'd want me to pay attention to?

[GermanJoey]

Random questions/observations:

What's Industrious in this version? Changelog doesn't say.

Regarding the Woodland Improvements, two questions. First: why do they only take 1 turn to upgrade? Seems a bit pointless. Second: changelog says Woodland Watermill is enabled at Alphabet; does that mean it only requires Alphabet, or Machinery + Alphabet?

The new Indian UU is.... pretty boring. ;[
The Chinese UB doesn't seem to do anything here? At least comparing to the Hippodrome.

Are the Greek and Maya UBs correct? I remember in the last version that Colosseums had +25% military production, but its missing from the description of the baseline one here. Greek UB only has +1 happy, but if it keeps that +25% military it is a very very good UB. Both are kinda crummy without that bonus though. (Greek would be good if it gets +2 happy (like a standard Colosseum) but at Writing)

Greece: Trait: Charismatic. Unique Building: Odeon, Colosseum replacement. +1 happy, +3 culture, +1XP to land units, +25% military unit production. +100% production with Charismatic. Cost 80 hammers. Requires Writing.

Maya: Trait: Charismatic. Unique Building: Ball Court, Colosseum replacement. +3 happy. +25% military unit production, +1 happy per 20% culture slider. +100% prodcution with Charismatic. Cost 80 hammers. Requires Construction.

Colosseum: +1XP to Melee, Archery, Mounted, Siege units, +2 happy, +1 happy per 20% culture slider. Cost 80 hammers, requires Construction. +100% production with Charismatic.

Was there a huge issue with an Astro beeline before? Galleons can be held off by massed Caravels, its Frigates that are really hard to deal with if you're behind in tech. EIM - either irrelevant or horribly overpowered, something definitely should be done about it.

I'll give this new version a few whirls in SP... is there anything you'd want me to pay attention to?

I think that it's possibly an interesting way to bring privateers back into the game: I was considering making Privateers just need Astro, but Galleons need the completed project, so everyone ends up being able to build Galleons but only those with Astro get Privateers. It eliminates the problem with Astro unlocking large tracts of previously unaccessible land (which can have a distorting effect on the tech tree) but also keeps all the other benefits of teching Astro intact. EIM can be altered (and Carracks, I was thinking of giving Carracks collateral), EIM I was thinking of changing to a Privateer UU.

The other part of this, was making Custom Houses buildable once the project was completed, and not require a specific tech. It's helpful with the Ren era clusterfuck of congested civics and buildings and units all over the place.

IND is as RtR 2.0.7.4, don't have method of introducing double national wonders for IND only, but if I did I'd stick with that because it's fun.

Woodland improvements, it's a placeholder for discussion. Woodland improvements don't benefit from civic or tech bonuses to the base improvements, the numbers need thinking about. They also do not require additional tech, ie Alphabet for a tile improvement that becomes a watermill, but does not require Machinery. You need machinery to build the watermill on a bare tile, but if there is a forest, you don't need it.

Colosseum: All should give +25% land unit production, and XP to melee/archery/siege/mounted, plus the happy. Maya gives extra happy (should also give happy from incense) Greece should give XP to all land units so also applies to gunpowder and armoured units so scales better. HE is nerfed to 75% unit production.

5 strength spear may be boring but are stronger than people giove it credit for and I'm sick of people bitching about fast workers.

Chinese UB can be buffed/recreated. Tempted to just put it at Alphabet TBH, keep it as a 30 hammer theatre.
