Hey all,

New version inbound. Bundles @L. Vern's Squads mod with VP, which allows convenient movement of groups of units. Direct any queries or lawsuits about it to him.

It will be replacing the Promotion Tree modmod, which I have elected to remove because 1) its original developers are retired or long gone, b) it has bugs, such as not being able to display all of the promotions and lacking a scroll bar, and III) no one knows how or has any interest in fixing it.

Also contains some bugfixes, including a fix for the nasty infinite laborer bug and several crash fixes.

Changelog:
Code:
General
- Added (4a) Squads for VP by Vern
- Removed Promotion Tree for VP
- Made CanSaveUnit a TestAny event

Balance
- Gave Polynesia a 99% discount on producing Work Boats until their AI is taught to use the free Work Boats from their UA
     Should make Polynesia a tad more competitive for the time being
     Yes, this will also impact Offshore Platforms, but Work Boats cost basically nothing at that point in the game anyway

UI
- Owned Strategic Resources are now shown in the Top Panel even if they're not revealed on the map yet
- Text fixes

Bugfixes
- Fixed a crash when spies discover intrigue
- Fixed a crash in Builder AI where the game tries to pull data from a nonexistent tile
- Fixed infinite Laborer creation bug
- Fixed +20% vs. blockaded cities not being displayed in the enemy unit panel
- Fixed automated Workers skipping the turn of human combat units on the same tile
- Fixed a bug in the Trade Overview preventing the creation of Trade Routes

I saw a younger man playing Civ V on his laptop as I walked by him on the train home this evening. I stopped to inquire, and sure enough he was playing VP.

I never imagined the heights this project would reach, and I can't thank the team -- old and new -- enough for the tremendous work they've graced us all with.

Kudos, from the top down.

Hehe, anecdotes like that warm my heart. :grouphug:
 
Btw, how would you want it to be "fixed"?
I dunno, maybe visualize the Promotion system correctly? The promotion system is flexible and that modmod limits it severely.
 
The "unit" mode should be easier to fix. The "UnitCombat" mode though... Promotions available can vary between units of the same UnitCombat.

It's a great visualization mod (for making proposals). I just don't need it during normal game play.

Guess I can switch to drawing the tree myself though, like I did in PromotionChanges.sql.
 
It IS good for new players if fixed since there's no easy way to know what each promotion leads to when your unit levels up.

I mean, sure. But if you are already familiar with base Civ V promotion gameplay, it shouldn't be that hard to familiarize yourself with VP's promotion gameplay.
 
You're presented with 2 choices on level up - Barrage I and Accuracy I. You won't know which one leads to promotions you want, until you try it out.

But of course, upgrading to the latest EUI also fixes this problem...
 
Does removing the promotion tree in 4.7.1 makes the
(text) Promotion Overhaul for VP (v47) modmod obsolete or not compatible?
Thanks

Also (over) More Unique Components for VP (v 87) seems to have a dependency on the removed promotion tree.
Removing the dependency is simple but will there be side effects to the modmod? does it need to be updated?
 
This released when it was night for me, but as I don't see it in the changelog, I assume my issue from 4.6.2 persists. So I started a game on marathon yesterday and got two faith ruins on turns ~40 and ~50, allowing me to be the first to found a pantheon with no effort. I seem to remember the faith being blocked until a certain turn to prevent this very thing from hapenning. I later tested in a game with only VP and got a faith ruin on turn 34. If I'm not crazy and such a restriction indeed exists, then it seems the turn number doesn't scale with game speed. Can anyone confirm that this is a bug, so I can report it on GitHub?
