New Version - September 2nd (9-2)

Fixes and Improvements

• Fixed some issues related to third party peace logic with minors in peace deals
• 3rd party peace brokering
• Now requires a warscore of +75 or more to negotiate (should only occur in the event of a major victory)
• Fixed some Pantheons persisting if you did not found a religion and/or have your cities converted
• Austrian UA now recovers influence properly (if negative)
• Made some adjustments to the AI to encourage more opportunitstic martial activities, especially in the early game
• Fixed Event bonuses not always applying to new cities properly
• Adjusted deal tech valuation to avoid zero values
• Added default value for Game.GetMinimumVassalTurns() and Game.GetMinimumVoluntaryVassalTurns() for nonstandard speeds
• Fixed Border growth being blocked by promises in some instances
• Fixed EIC double luxury logic re: GP and Kasbah improvements
• Fixed vanilla bug re: remaining at war with dead civs
• Fixed ally war/peace logic for Minors in some instances
• Adjustments to AI major-major diplomacy and military construction logic
• Adjusted some diplomatic values to make the AI more sensitive to war/peace and victory conditions
• Fixed some event and text issues
• Puppets now use default AI instead of Growth AI
• Optimizations of AI messenger/diplomat AI routines
• Bugfixes and merges with Iamblichos and Ilteroi code bases
• Fixed some JFD things and added JFD requests

Balance:

• Ritual overtuned a little - brought down to 30% (was 50%)
• Buff scripture a little - now 30% (was 25%)
  
• Japan: Dojo loses Culture/Production from Iron/Horses. Instead, gains following ability: when a unit created in this City levels up, gain Culture based on its current level. (Current scaler: 15 Culture x unit level) Design: Japan has the potential to be a real cultural powerhouse via the creation and maintenance of high-experience units.
• America: Removed Museum requirement for Smithsonian, moved to Scientific Theory, added Broadcast Tower to Culture/Science bonus of Museum.
• Polynesia: Moai gain +1 Production from adjacent Moai (in addition to existing +1 culture). Moai connections can be hard to make - this makes those connections even sweeter.
• Siam: Wat moved to Theology, price dropped to 275. Good building, but came too late to really have the impact it should.
• Germany: Hanse base gold now +5 (was +2), gains additional Merchant specialist. Should help Germany in the mid-game, when it really starts to turn on its diplomatic engine.
• Greece: The Acropolis now has 150% more acrop (raised defense from 4 to 10). Forgot about the Acropolis when making defense adjustments to walls etc.

Also, I take it the renew deal bug is fixed? Can't find it mentioned in your list.

Started a new game and the changes are immediately apparent - both my neighbors are neutral (vs friendly) and one is even threatened by my nearby military. Just like old days - woo hoo! The AI is back to its normal self!

Should be. Hopefully. Some things work for me and then fail elsewhere. If not it won't require a memory tweak so I can hotfix it.

Shouldn't airports connect cities to the trade network?

Is it normal that the god-king pantheon is back to +1 of every yield for every 6 followers? Wasn't it 1 for every 8 followers in previous patch?

Needs more testing. I have seen both modifiers in every August game I started, so those where working fine in 8-2, 8-8, and 8-18...

Military threatening, territorial dispute, competing for world wonders NEVER showed up for me in the 8/18 version - at least in the 5-7 games I played with it. Only one that showed up was the social policy difference. Now w/ this new version they are BACK! The AI finally has a personality now and once again gives a damn about negative modifiers. So happy.
