Sannita's Introduction: http://forums.civfanatics.com/showpost.php?p=12870412&postcount=29

Performance / AI
-Small performance improvements to resource trading and evaluation.
-Small performance improvement of graphics paging operations.
-Performance optimization for worker and sea attack response AIs.
-Some experimental changes in memory allocation strategies.
-Minor balance changes to Lumber jack and lumber mill to encourage keeping of forest.
-Fixed save format incompatibilities (leading to crashes) when assets change number of culture levels or define new properties.
-Fixed culture threshold overflow, which could result in cities beginning with legendary culture.
-Lacking int int declaration added in a loop.
-Added Soureccode for dll with xerces.
-Tweaks to get the AI to value spacing its cities out farther.
-Numerous new Combat Classes defined in preparation for implementing assignments on our units.
-Established a minimum 1% damage to defenses with the new Breakdown ability intended for Rams.
Added a comment line that indicates the file path beginning with Assets/ to all unit files - makes it a little easier to copy over to documentation.

-New Tag for UnitCombatInfos and PromotionInfos files: OnGameOption (each game option listed MUST be on for the promotion or unitcombat to be active in the game.)

-Auto-Assignment mechanism to units of Era, Religion, and Culture UnitCombats (bases it on the unit's prerequisites.)

-Added Fight or Flight gameoption which will turn on Early Withdrawal and Pursuit unit abilities. They will now be off by default.

-Added a Diminishing Return function to CvUnit and have applied the mechanism to withdrawal if the Fight or Flight gameoption is OFF. This means that withdrawal values when finally tallied for battle will never exceed 100 and will continuously get tougher and tougher to approach 100 the more withdrawal the unit has. This should replace the necessity to have a limit but until the system is proven effective I'm not removing what may be some limiters on withdrawal abilities that currently exist. The diminishing return function can take any value in CvUnit and return the diminished return value. Will be very useful elsewhere if it proves to work properly which is very difficult to setup a test to prove so will have to see it operate in an actual game to make sure. Will probably add some kind of indicator in the texts for diminishing return if it proves confusing to players.

-This update does update the debug dll as well. I should be either adding the PDB to the archive after committing this OR I'll upload it here for Koshling or any other programmer if and when the need arises.

-Adds Withdraw/Pursuit and Early Withdraw values according to the planning document I've been working on. Mostly contained to the Fight or Flight gameoption.

-Super Forts update - observation towers and forts. Fortified caves, and early forts.
-Code to prepare for setting hidden game options to their defaults at the start of the game.
Code to "upgrade" terrain features coral and reef when the beacon or lighthouse is built on them.

* Code updated with Albert's adjustments to the load process.

* Added new tag PursuitVSUnitCombat to Units and PursuitVSUnitCombatChangesTypes to Promotions and UnitCombats.

* Implemented new tag use on Law Enforcement, Mounted, and Explorers.

* An attempt to debug some OOS errors taking place during combat.

* Rules change causes all units to have half base assigned withdrawal value when the fight or flight game option is off.

* I did a number of fixes to problems observed by the new xml validator tool but I think most of those were already done by the time of this commit however some of my methods of fixing might not be quite the same...

As I said at the time it was posted that should be BULL not BAT. We don't use BAT in C2C it probably wont work with our cultures given that in part it is about unique units.

Yeah i made that change back on 28 Sep already in the SVN.
 
Definitly like!! that you need obsidian now to make obsidian units. Allways felt weird about every civ having obsidian units. Thats just not the case in real history. Now just a few is goona have them plus the obsidian reasorce is going to be more importent :)
 
Updated from 6219 to 6367.
 
Updated from 6367 to 6430.
 
You seem to have missed the new tamer buildings from the buildings section and the new early forts from the super forts line. Also that forts now upgrade if they are fortified - main thing from super forts.
 
So hows it going here, i dont want you to get too far behind here, otherwise it does get hectic finding everything.

i am getting left behind because there are about 100 changes every 2 weeks. :(
 
What does the "New Free City" mod implement?
Haven´t heard of it before.

When you build a new city you get some free buildings based on your tech level.

The "New Free City" mod assigns to some building a tech at which they become free. However the city still has to meet the requirements for that building eg forest, bamboo or jungle to get the early wood building.

It is a work in progress but since there have been no comments on it at all, not even complaints about it, work has stalled. There are over 700 potential buildings to have a tech assigned with the number growing each day.

@DH,
I'm complaining that work has stall because you've gotten no complaints or comments about complaints. :mischief: :p :D

JosEPh ;)
 
What people don't seem to have noticed is that I made it not an option. I think that means it is liked. Although in my last set of test games it does not seem to have been there but with all the changes to auto build stuff who knows.
