How does everyone feel these would be for Civ 5? What other changes would you add?
General:
- UI improved to show relationship between civilizations while on the diplomacy screen.
- UI now auto selects the last military unit moved last turn and will cycle through all the military units before switching to civilian ones.
- It is now possible to disable combat animations and enable quick move just on the enemy turns (applies to single player only)
AI:
- AI now correctly uses move and attack with untis whcih can do so
- AI now choses upgrade paths that lead it to important upgrades with better foresight (aims for Logistics, Range, March)
- AI now makes proper use of ships and fleets, and protects its fleet from bombardment. Naval civilizations much more likely to do a "frigate rush"
- AI can now "beeline" key techs. Usually civilizations will go for Philosophy, Civil Service and Education, or for key techs such as Chivalry for Mongolia, Navigation for England and so on. AI now also more likely to prioritize science buildings and aiming for key improvements to their military, such as Dynamite, Flight, Atomic Theory and so on.
- AI now makes better use of great persons - it plants early scientists, saves engineers, uses prophets after the cost of missionaries has become prohibitive, saves musicians for lategame tourism tours and so on.
- AI now more likely to form coalitions and start a war the closest a civilization is to victory. (applies to technology lead, stockpiled gold, number of CS alliances, culture and tourism per turn and more)
- AI now more likely to use nuclear weapons the closer a civilization is to victory
- Previous behaviors get an extra modifier for human players based on difficulty, which ranges from 0.5 on chieftain to 1.5 on Deity.
- AI now correctly values strategic resources when they come in single numbers (rounded down to 1 gpt instead of 2 gpt)
- AI now can refuse to buy luxury resources for lump sums of gold if it has a significant happiness surplus or if its GPT income cannot compensate the difference within 20 turns of the purchase.
- AI now actively works towards completing theming bonuses when appropriate.
- AI scouts now much more likely to steal unprotected civilian units if at war.
General Balance:
Experience and upgrades:
Units which change their type may reassign their combat upgrades (ie. chariot archer into knight)
Religion:
Pantheons:
