Can you update it here please?

• Technology formula has been updated. Technology cost is now (on Standard) 30*turnsremaining * era^0.7 (era being a number from 1-number of eras). For example, a 15 turn Civil Service would cost (30*15) * (2^.7) = 731 gold.
• Technologies should average around 300 - 800 gold for each tech, depending on how fast a player's research is. The higher your science per turn, the cheaper your techs will cost.
• Updates to AI evaluation of Technologies (While trading technologies)
• If a tech rewards multiple embarked move changes, for each move change increase, the AI will evaluate the tech higher. (This would only affect modded Technologies.xml's)
  • AI now values technologies that provide the following benefits:
  • Enables Embassies - +10% (up from +0%) (Writing)
  • Enables Open Borders - +25% (up from +0%) (Civil Service)
  • Enables Defensive Pact - +25% (up from +0%) (Chivalry)
  • Reveals the entire World Map - +100% (up from +50%) (Satellites)
  • The AI had previously evaluated other benefits, and they have remained unchanged
  • Access to Manhattan Project - +100% (up from +0%) (Atomic Theory)
  • Access to nuclear units - +50% (up from +0%) (Nuclear Fission, Advanced Ballistics)
• Technologies that are repeatable (default Future Tech) can no longer be traded.
• AI will weight the power of Aircraft 30% more than before. This will be used to determine military strength.
• Updates to AI valuation of World Maps. They should be more affordable and smarter.
  • Please note that percentages are multipliers. 50% of 1 is 0.5. 200% of 1 is 2.
  • Initial tile value starts at 1 Gold. (down from 2 Gold).
    • Grassland (125%, up from 100%)
    • Snow, Mountain, Ocean: (10%, down from 50%).
    • Marsh: 75% (down from 100%)
    • Oasis: 150% (up from 100%)
    • Flood Plains: 125% (up from 100%)
    • Coast: +125% (up from 100%)
    • Resources: 200% (land), +250% (water)
    • Coastal Land: +125% (up from 100%)
    • Natural Wonder: 1000% (up from 500%)
    • Friendly Territory (125%, down from 150%)
    • Ice: 0% (down from 100%)
  • If you want to get your map value high, you'll want to:
    • Chart the coastlines of islands, continents, etc.
    • Chart many Natural Wonders before your foes
    • Explore meaningful land that reveals resources, or good settling spots!
  • To calculate a plot's worth, multiply it's multipliers by the initial plot value . A few examples:
    • Grassland w/ Resource: (1 * 1.25 * 2) = 2.5 gold.
    • Desert Oasis: (1 * 1 * 2) = 2 gold.
    • Grassland Coast w/ Resource: (1 * 1.25 * 1.25 * 2) = 3.125 gold.

• Should now be able to demand World Maps from an AI (previously they would always say the offer was too much).

• Afraid AI's will always accept a Share Opinion request.
• Added new 20 turn buffer period after meeting a new civilization before they will accept a Share Opinion request.
• When you have a Declaration of Friendship with another civ, the "Demand" option is replaced with "Request Help".
  • Request Help works almost identically to Demand with some noticeable differences:
  • You will suffer no diplomatic penalty when requesting help
  • The AI will judge your demand based on the following ratios:
    • their gold/your gold
    • their gpt/your gpt
    • their science/your science
    • their happiness/your happiness
  • The higher these ratios are, the more likely the AI will accept your request.
  • Demanding/requesting technologies will not be possible as of this time. In a future update, there may be changes to the way AI handles technology demands/requests.
• AIs whom you have a Declaration of Friendship will occasionally offer to provide help to your civilization, depending on your situation.
  • AIs with a higher Loyalty rating will be more likely to offer gifts.
  • Gifts can be gold, luxuries, or technology (in a future update, they may also gift strategic resources).
  • AIs will only offer if they are in better shape than you are. Thus, on lower difficulties it is extremely unlikely the AI will offer help.

• Scientific Revolution: Boosts Science gained from research agreements by 50%. If Tech Trading is active, will provide a 25% discount on all tech purchases.
• Porcelain Tower: A Great Scientist appears near the City where the Wonder was built. 50% more Science generated from Research Agreements. If Tech Trading is active, the Porcelain Tower will increase Science generation in this city by 25%.
• In a future update, there will be two options "Enable Tech Trading" and "Disable Research Agreements". These policy effects will be dynamic depending on the system.
• Updates to Teams
  • Players on the same Team will no longer be able to trade Technology between each other
  • Players on the same Team will no longer be able to trade Maps between each other (affected computer teammates offering you map trades)
  • AI Players will always be Friendly with their teammates.

• When sharing opinion, should stay on the same screen (reduces amount of clicks needed to share opinion with multiple leaders). (Removed for Version 5)

• The multiplier and exponent for the tech valuation formula can be modified by changing the numbers in the SQL file of the mod.
• Please note all changes are modular, so if you change the Technology Tree, the AI will still value the techs as they should.

Is there a chance of this mod introducing vassals/capitulation back into Civ V? After all that was a diplomacy feature in Civ IV BtS.

There seems to be a big in this verison. Every time I go the AI and as them what do you think of this leader it declares war on theme instead. Any fix for this? Also when I request help its says that I made a trade demand from them.

Yeah YNAEP with city states mod. Historical Religions. Hex conquer and release. Red modpack. With really advance Setup. Maybe because I using it with Mac is cause this problem?

Hey there, literally joined just to post some q's about this mod.

How's compatability with the CivUP?

Whenever I select a trade, "World Map" and "technologies" are permanently up for trade, yet don't seem to actually do anything.

I see "txt_key_diplo_technology" under My items.

And when i got to discuss, "perhaps we can offer you something.. " is selectable, but once again, does nothing.

Cheers

Edit: "perhaps we can offer you something.. " actually appears in ANY menu when talking to leaders
