Note: Unlike recent versions of EitB, this is not a standalone installer, but a copy of the updated Assets file. As such, if you have any ongoing pbem games, you will need to make a backup copy of EitB for use in them. To install, just paste over your current assets file.
Edit: 10.1 is now released. This is functionally identical, simply rolling in a couple of bugfixes. I have updated the link above to link to 10.1.

Please use this thread to report any bugs or issues you come across. I was able to implement pretty well every major change I was looking at in the previous thread. I decided to go with TBS's suggestion of halving the vault levels for the Khazad because I think I'd rather see how that goes rather then changing their mechanics. I was able to come up with a better solution for Druids so they should be identical to base, just without the ability to cast Tier 4 Divine spells. Most of the outstanding issues are because I didn't want to delay this release (and my other priorities) with compiling a DLL, but that should come in v11 and/or v10.1, the others are because I only noticed them as the file was uploading.
I've included pretty much all of the civilopedia updates.
Have fun!
Current Known Issues:
Tower of Mastery doesn’t read from Team wonders, only national (Once solved, implement Towers are team wonders change)
Tower of Mastery Requires Omniscience not implemented yet
Built Mobius Witches do not receive xp from civics but do receive promotions from SotC
Planar gate units do not receive xp from civics – intentional?
Bug: Turn number displays twice, once counting from turn 0 and another from turn 1
Bug: Reveler and Mobius Witch button art is incorrect
The Game Option Disable Non-Core Events has not been implemented
Erebus in the Balance - a FFH Modmod based around balancing and polishing FFH for streamlined competitive play.
Playtesting finds two new errors. The first can be overcome by replacing your Civ4UnitInfos (in Assets/XML/Units) with the attatched file, but the second I've yet to find the cause for.
Issues:
1. Minotaurs and other PG units occur as AI start units or player start units in later-era games. This is because they didn't have any tech or Civ pre-requisites tagged, but I didn't think would be an issue - RESOLVED
2. People researching a religious tech after it has been founded do not recieve the appropriate disciple unit. (I have located the erroneous file - CyEventsManager.py - but I'm not sure why it isn't working as I never messed with that section of the file and that section is the same as my backup. Still working on why this is, if anyone has any ideas, do tell me) - RESOLVED
Erebus in the Balance - a FFH Modmod based around balancing and polishing FFH for streamlined competitive play.
And whilst fiddling around to make sure that the Minotaur problem really was fixed, I managed to fix the other game-killing issue I had, (the others are just syncing civilopedia updates and art issues, which I'll get to when I have more time) the disciple not-spawning issue. I was literally missing a single equals sign...
With that in mind, I'm releasing V10.1! The main change here is now that I've fixed the big, emergency issues I can resume modding again, so I will be splitting this up into several new threads and looking at what changes we want for the next version (and/or what changes I can convince myself the community wants by muttering inanely into an echo chamber ).
Download here. Simply paste over your current asset file, as mentioned earlier in this thread.
Alternatively, if you have already downloaded the earlier units file, just paste this file over your CvEventManager file in ...Assets/Python.

Whosit says the previous links are giving an incorrect unitinfosfile. Unfortunately I haven't had time to compile a new link to the overall mod, but that link has the latest version which I was using (and also, now that I think of it, fixes mistforms so they spawn with the correct unitai. Must remember to put that in the changelog.)

Please list any findings. I have provided my full change log (in the download) and whilst it is possible that there are unlisted changes, it is unlikely.
