8.2 Free Speech doesn't work

[Jorad]

I deleted the cache and the older version before installing the new one.
Free Speech didn't add any culture to villages.

Does finishing the Freedom tree increase the culture of landmarks?

This is part of the Freedom finisher:

<Row>
  <PolicyType>POLICY_FREEDOM_FINISHER</PolicyType>
  <ImprovementType>IMPROVEMENT_LANDMARK</ImprovementType>
  <CultureChange>6</CultureChange>
</Row>

This is free speech:

<Row>
  <PolicyType>POLICY_FREE_SPEECH</PolicyType>
  <ImprovementType>IMPROVEMENT_TRADING_POST</ImprovementType>
  <CultureChange>1</CultureChange>
</Row>

They're basically identical, so either both or neither should work. I'll investigate this on my computer and see what happens.

Update: I can confirm the table only works for the one instance Firaxis created for it. Any other improvement in the field but the Landmark does not work. This will be difficult to solve since I cannot access the c++ to fix Firaxis' bug directly, but I can disable it entirely and manually reverse-engineer it to work correctly. I've reported this bug on the vanilla bug report forum and should have a fix for the mod in v8.4.

This seems to be the defining pattern of Civ5 modding. It's almost like the modding is partially fake or something. It *looks* moddable, but it's hard coded behind the scenes.

We really need a massive petition to release the C++ "SDK."

The +1 culture per specialist doesn't work either.

Strange, when I added that effect I did some testing and it was working at the time... I'll investigate to see what happened since then.

Update: When renaming the policies I accidentally moved the effect from Free Speech to Democracy. I've fixed this mistake for 8.6.2. Thank you for bringing it up!
