Receiving city trade routes are multiplied by following factors (not exhaustive list):
Foreign trade route: +100%.
If not foreign trade route but on different land mass: +100%.
If Harbour present: +25%
If Custom House present: +100%
If in Free Market: +25%
Religion
Founders of religions from Theology, Code of Laws and Philosophy gain +2 missionaries.
Founders of religions from Divine Right gain +4 missionaries.
National limit on missionaries and executives increased to 5.
It's XML only, so yeah it's done. Trade routes is actually quite well implemented in the XML in global defines. Doesn't do everything I would wish to be able to tinker with but there is plenty there to go at.
Okay so I had a hunt around for the era stuff. Practically all of it as accessible via the XML, specifically in Civ4EraInfos (for starting units/gold/population), or in Civ4BuildingInfos (where two tags - MaxStartEra and FreeStartEra control free buildings and the locked wonders). What isn't available is the settler cost, which doesn't seem to be in python, either.
Curiously, the way they implemented it is such that settlers actually show up has having an iCost of 0 (in Civ4UnitInfos), so it's possible that it is directly tied to this - and that simply changing the iCost to a real number would decouple the effect entirely - so you may want to test that before fiddling in the dll.

Hooray, a changelog! Now to nitpick it a whole bunch!
A bunch of possible bolding changes, based on my understanding:
Naval trinity's mutual exclusivity should be bolded
Industrial double-speed forges shouldn't be bolded
Did we ever decide to do something with Christo Redentor, considering we're obsoleting its main purpose? Or is it still just -50% time between changing civics (so 12 turns instead of 24)? I feel like it might be worth mentioning in the changelog regardless.
Are the Communism/Geology changes going into this build? The changelog, the picture addendum, and the description of Geology all tell different stories; which should I believe.
The Museum appears to be new--I'm assuming this is a blunt attempt to solve the Cathedral/Cultural Victory problem. Medicine seems like a weird place for it though--maybe put it at the new Geology where it makes a lot more sense?
Were we still on the plan to give each of the 6 naval trinity buildings to a different trait? The changelog still gives both Shipyards and Custom Houses to Imperialistic.
Any thoughts on changing the Feitoria, like I mentioned way back?
Quote:[T]his building is positioned weird, seeing as how its BTS bonus is exactly a Quay. We could make this a Quay (with +2 commerce, like you already did with the new Breakwater Dike), but if you want a Shipyard/Drydock UB (a good decision), it could use a full redesign.
Random thought--the Kanone is kinda boring, maybe make it a bit more expensive and give it a Drill promotion?
I might go and do some looking later, but I have been busy with other things recently :/

Good catches.

Good catch, that's worth adding. I think it's enough that it makes Cristo worth leaving as is.
Quote:Are the Communism/Geology changes going into this build? The changelog, the picture addendum, and the description of Geology all tell different stories; which should I believe.
It's actually an old picture, I'm just too lazy to update it. What do you expect of something coded at 5 in the morning?
Quote:The Museum appears to be new--I'm assuming this is a blunt attempt to solve the Cathedral/Cultural Victory problem. Medicine seems like a weird place for it though--maybe put it at the new Geology where it makes a lot more sense?
Very blunt. Maybe Geology is the better place for it. Medicine was just where I put it because Medicine needs more stuff on it.
Quote: Were we still on the plan to give each of the 6 naval trinity buildings to a different trait? The changelog still gives both Shipyards and Custom Houses to Imperialistic.
Harbour: IMP
Customs House: EXP
Quay: CHM
Breakwater: FIN
Shipyard: PRP
Drydock: AGG
I think I may have started work from an older changelog and that is one of the changes that has already been implemented but was not added to the change log. I've checked the mod, and the above list is correct.

What to take a stab at it? The UU is more niche, so it can should be a strong UB IMO.

You didn't really answer the question, but I think I can extrapolate: Geology/the Communism/etc changes are in, with Geology revealing Oil, allowing Rushmore and Kremlin (Kremlin with Military Science as well), and possibly the Museum (more on that in a bit).

Very blunt. Maybe Geology is the better place for it. Medicine was just where I put it because Medicine needs more stuff on it.
Why does Medicine need more stuff on it? Compare it to Scientific Method--does that do anything besides Free Speech anymore? You could make it an option prereq to Refrigeration to give it more use, or maybe make Hospitals and/or Red Cross more useful. Coming up with more useful stuff for the later part of the tech tree is difficult since I'm not nearly as familiar with that stuff.
If you wanted to be a little less blunt with the Museum, you could try to leverage Broadcast Towers in some way, moving them and/or buffing them a lot.

If you want it to be strong, it should be a production-based bonus--maybe a general production bonus ala the Assembly Line, +10% from coal/iron/oil/uranium (pick 3 of 4, whichever one isn't worth as much for ships).

Quote:Random thought--the Kanone is kinda boring, maybe make it a bit more expensive and give it a Drill promotion?
...Drill is not boring?
Okay, less boring
The idea is that there aren't any UU's/UB's that are just cheaper (the closest being the Sumer Courthouse, but that's at a different position in the tree). If you wanted to keep it as just cheaper, you could move it to Replaceable Parts, but that strikes me as a really, really bad idea.
Another random thing--should the generic Temple get another Priest slot? I'm assuming programming it to occur with State Religion is too hard (at least for now), and I don't know if having two Priest slots is too overpowered (or makes Angkor Wat overpowered). You could also add a Priest slot or two to another religious building--is adding one to the Monastery too powerful? (speaking of, you don't mention the Priest slots in the generic Cathedral description; I assume they're still there, along with the Temple requirement? )

All that is compeleted.

Bottleneck techs like Writing, Paper, don't need much to be useful techs, because the decision to research them is based not just on what the tech enables but what can be reached through it.
Medicine leads onto Refrigeration and then to SS techs. It's not necessary until the very end game. It could do with something useful being there.
Spacing the culture multipliers through out the tech tree gives incentives to keep on researching, but Culture Victory is essentially a clock against which Domination and SS victories are paced. Can't put them all too early otherwise it makes it the one right victory condition to aim for because the others are unobtainable on that time frame etc.

Sounds reasonable.

I don't see why something being cheaper is bad; quantity has it's own quality, after all.

(speaking of, you don't mention the Priest slots in the generic Cathedral description; I assume they're still there, along with the Temple requirement? )
It could do if attached to a civic, but it's a significant strategic question that players that face founding a religion have, of how to get a shrine (or if they even want one). Making a GP too easy to create removes that decision.
Museum: It just feels weird that the Museum is much better than a Broadcast Tower, and yet earlier in the tree. Then again, the only MP cultural victory I've seen was the PB6 one, and that was a team game (and wouldn't have worked if Sullla's team understood the mechanics correctly), so I don't know how representative it is. Have there been any other cultural victories here, and what do they look like? (the SP model where you stop at Free Speech, something you stumble into, something else?)
Medicine: I'll be honest, I'm having trouble coming up with a good thing to put here (other than massively increasing the power of the hospital--like "pop gives only half the unhealthiness" levels of buffing). Maybe this tech needs to be re-branded or removed?
I have more I want to say on the general tech theories you stated, but I really should get to sleep soon, and I can tell that's going to be long and detailed
Kanone: Fine, it's not that big a deal--though has anyone actually built one in a game yet?
