From Seven, integrated by T-hawk:

Included fixes for:
* Lib/oracle multiple techs (warning, this is the most complex fix and it changes the save file format by adding a value for each player of whether they currently have an unused free tech award. the fix is taken from BTS unofficial patch)
* 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 (could be considered not a bug)

I believe Nakor's vote does seal up the seeing the start issue. So I'm pretty sure all settings are locked in.

Yeah, that is a majority for not wanting to see starts, so I can go ahead and start posting the first roll of leader/civ combos in the threads for players to review.

Quick question: barracks still give culture?

Quick question: barracks still give culture?

Yep. +1c/turn I believe.

After thinking about this for a while, I've come to the conclusion that this game, on these settings, is not something I'm interested in playing out. I've explained the why of the decision beforehand. Good luck with the game.

[BRickAstley]

Oh..... sorry to hear that then. Seven, are you intending to still play or are we down to 17 teams again?

[SevenSpirits]

No, I was only signed up as a secondary player of a team, and I don't wish to be a primary. It's possible I could join another team, but regarding the slot, I guess it's no longer occupied.
