Jesus wept I suck at keeping change logs up to date.

Good catch Pindicator.

Krill: I'm going to be very disappointed if you don't go with a Red Dwarf theme for this game.

[Krill]

OK I can do that. Just tell me why though?

Answer to flugauto in the lurker thread, given the new QotM:

Yes. It is. Map makers are the most hated of all posters, more so than anyone who talks about PB3 or PBEMVII.

A quick map concern I've noticed from playing test games over the weekend: flug, please make sure that the script doesn't generate a village or town improvement on top of a resource. Cottages are going to be difficult enough to use on our own since they can never be changed at that point, but I've run a couple test maps and found villages and towns generated on top of resources via the script.

Edit: or keep it for the lulz but make sure the player has another one to hook up for reals

I think trade routes are working differently than written up. Notes say:

Base trade route value is 1 commerce, +0.1 commerce per population in the originating city, starting from size 1. ie size 5 origin city has trade route worth 1.5 base commerce. Size 10 origin city has trade route worth 2 base commerce.

What I'm noticing is that the trade route is always worth 1.0 base commerce and the city is then getting +10% bonus per population to its trade that's added to the other trade bonuses (ICTR/foreign, connected to capital, harbor, etc).
