New update:
- removed first impression AI attitude modifiers
- increased impact of shared religion during the Renaissance (previously at the same low level as from the Industrial era onwards, now on par with the Classical and Ancient eras but still below the Medieval era)
- increased maximum impact of close borders on AI attitude (Rhye had previously increased the impact itself without adjusting the maximum, so the effect of the game is often not actually applied)
- increased impact of close borders on AI attitude where they affect core territory
- reduced AI willingness to trade technologies with civilizations that have already traded a lot of technologies
- reduced AI willingness to trade technologies that are not yet widely known
This concludes my balancing of AI relations and tech speed so far. Of course, my information is limited, but based on the logs research speed is now in reasonable parameters (I checked normal and marathon speed). Please keep an eye out and let me know your observations if things still feel off. Likewise, let me know how the new AI attitude rules affect diplomacy. I mostly balanced them according to AI behaviour, so if something feels off from the player perspective, I would like to know.
