New Version - 1.0 (September 3rd, 2021)

[Gazebo]

Hey all!

New version inbound! This one is quite stable, enough so that I'm officially labeling it 1.0. We're doing a soft-reboot on the versioning system, so out with the old date-numeric model, and in with a traditional versioning system. This is also the first version in awhile that will be the basis for the 'How to Install' page, so this should clear up 'which version?' concerns.

Rules for versioning.

Spoiler :

1.0.0
x.y.z

x = major revision or update (rare to change without warning)
y = save-game incompatible revision
z = save game compatible revision

Lengthy changelog, courtesy @Recursive, @pineappledan, myself, and many others. Thank you mod team!

This version is not savegame compatible.

Spoiler :

General
- Added global notifications for nuclear strikes/interceptions and Defensive Pacts
- Brokered peace is now announced worldwide to players that have met the broker and the player who agreed to make peace
- Brokered war notifications now work as follows: anyone with surveillance established in either the broker or the warrior's cities will learn about the deal, and share the intrigue with all of their teammates, DPs, masters, vassals and friends (but no chain sharing).
- Diplomacy flavors and major approach biases now have a default XML value of 5 if not specified by the modder; -1 for City-State approach biases (always 1 ingame). Code for this is in CoreTableEntries.sql.
- The code section which overrides custom civs' non-diplo flavors is now clearly marked near the start of CoreTableEntries.sql
- Added DiploAI "cheat" options to disable demands and independence requests from the AI
- Code cleanup
- Worked on deal rewewal logic and bugs related to phantom resources/GPT
- Fixed issues with spy mission yields and expiration
- Major adjustments to diplo AI
- Fixed no-EUI notification UI issue

AI
- Approach biases are still capped between 1-10, but no longer need to be high to impact diplo personality selection; they now only matter relative to each other (3 War/5 Friendly = 5 War/7 Friendly).
- Small tweaks to warmonger logic
- Small tweaks to diplo bonuses for liberating cities
- Vassals can now receive warmongering penalties for conquering cities, and voluntary vassals no longer get their penalty reset (their masters ignore the warmongering)
- More nuance to AI reactions for brokered war/peace
- AI now applies a diplo bonus for accepting less than the maximum peace deal value (to "recent diplomatic actions"); buggy recent trade bonus removed
- Non-founder AIs should no longer build Borobudur or Cathedral of St. Basil
- Non-founder AIs should no longer build Hagia Sophia unless they're still able to found a religion
Bugfixes
- Fixed major bug causing AI to be overly eager to become a vassal
- Fixed a bug halving the warmonger penalty for capturing a city
- Numerous bugfixes for opinion modifiers, including gamespeed scaling for recent trade/etc.
- Fixed bugs with DP and most valuable ally selection
- Fixed AI using a denouncement message when declaring war
- Fixed issues with AI acting hostile/not hostile inappropriately
- Text fixes

Misc
- Hid "Diplomacy is easier on your difficulty level" modifier on lower difficulties; requires special setting to display
- Observer is now notified of World Congress vote & project results as well as the new global notifications
- Observer/Diplo Debug Mode now sends a notification whenever a brokered war/peace deal is agreed to
- Observer/Diplo Debug Mode now displays the AI's top friend/DP choices, biggest competitor and biggest World Congress rival
- World Congress voting logic improvements from Milae
- World Congress host now makes their proposal first, then the other two civs make their proposal (can take 2 turns instead of 1 now)

As you can see, many changes are a result of polling on the forums. Yay!

In addition, @Stalker0 is working on a more streamlined method for changes to be incorporated via polls/processes, which is sorely needed.

Finally, if you haven't joined the OFFICIAL DISCORD, well...why not? Join up! Just make sure to read the rules!

Timing could not have been better! Can't wait to try this out (and welcome back from your complicated summer!)

 

[PhilMyBelly]

Is there a way to bring back the description when u hover over units and buildings when choosing a civ?
Also there's a bug with pop

My guess is a mod conflict, as tests showed no issues and no ui problems.

My city is has four citizens but is showing seven tiles being worked. Unclicking all of them only gets me four Laborers, but they'll come back if I use the center icon to reset.

Spoiler :

I do have the Improved City View activated, the fixed version.

EDIT: It's not just graphical. Those tiles are being worked and taking effect.

I can confirm this is happening to me as well, though I'm not using the Improved City View mod.

 

[ridjack]

Seems to happen as soon as a second citizen is born.

[Gazebo]

@ilteroi youve been summoned

 

[Jdoug312]

Very excited to try this version out tonight! I didn't see anything about the AI's use of the fighter line in the changelog, but it's listed as fixed in New version on github

 

[Recursive]

@Gazebo Should also add to the changelog:

- World Congress voting logic improvements from Milae
- World Congress host now makes their proposal first, then the other two civs make their proposal (can take 2 turns instead of 1 now)

 

[Heinz_Guderian]

This is so cathartic, the new versioning system, the inclusion of many of PDs tweaks, the facelifted discord, all the amazing work from the team. Good job everyone!

 

[Deaga]

I'm also experiencing the CityPop issues.

Is there any way to save the map with starting positions I have now too? I just got a really interesting start and I'd be mega bummed if I lost that in case the fix is not save game compatible.

Think you can save the map under the Save menu.

It will probably be savegame compatible.

 

[ridjack]

AFAIK you can save the map with that, but not the start position.

 

[Gazebo]

i'm sorting the bug. Was a last-minute merge that I didn't think needed playtest.

 

[Gazebo]

hotfix posted. now go play!
