Shouldn't that apply to open borders, defensive pacts etc

I agree

 

[45°38'N-13°47'E]

I agree

My doubt is more for Defensive Pacts than anything else. That's because they're often used/requested by small civs so that they can get some kind of protection. Usually these are backwards civ so I'm not sure it's a good idea to leave them without any kind of protection. [I've never found myself in a situation where I was signing a Defensive Pact for my own good]

Edit: and the same for vassalage

Edit2: I would do for Embassy, Open Borders and Right of Passage the same I've done for tech, gold and Map trading; as for Permanent Alliance, Vassalage and Defensive Pacts, they usually benefit more one civ than another, while the first ones have (or should have) equal advantages for both civs, so I would leave them out of requiring both civs having the appropriate tech. How does it sound?

 

[Noyyau]

Vassalage and Defensive Pacts I can understand a smaller backwards civ requesting protection, but I think Permanent Alliances should require both civs having the appropriate tech.

Yes, I had the same doubt about it. I'll wait for some other opinion but I think I'll go this way

 

[Arakhor]

That sounds perfectly sensible to me, 45.

[os79]

Here's an interesting modcomp for checking XML tags. It's graphical only, still need to go to files themselves to tweak.

 

[darkedone02]

Can you guys try and see if you can make an option to disable all suicidal promotions such as kamikaze's? i don't like these abilities and wish to disable these suicidal promotions on all units.

Revision 757

• Beginnings of trade route refactor
• Added iExtraCapitalCommerce tag
• Added iExtraForeignCapitalCommerce tag
• Removed trade route related features from Airfield, Airport, Castle, City Gatehouse, Civilized Jeweler's Store, Communication Tower, Hotel, Hypermarket, Jewellery, Network Node, Paved Roads, Personal Rapid Train, Public Transportation, River Authority, River Port, Shopping District, Spaceport, Starport, Telegraph Office, Telephone Network, Vacation Resort, Villa, Wheelwright, Marco Polo's Embassy, Petra, The Great Lighthouse
• Removed City Gate building

To be clear, trade routes are still enabled and in the game. I just have begin replacing trade route related tags & replacing them with new connectedness tags. Trade routes themselves will continue to work until I am finished.

 

[Vokarya]

Rev 758, some minor fixes:

• Removed Communication Networks as prereq for Machine Learning (redundant)

sorry, wrong thread

Revision 759

• Fix bug in actual effects commerce hover showing incorrect values due to non-fractional yield calculations
• Remove FLAVOR_ECOMOMY
• Show fractional commerce in actual effects
• Fix bug in defense hover text when defense is 0%

[Afforess]

Revision 760

• Remove trade routes from civics
• Remove insurance tech
• Remove trade routes from Trade & Logistics techs
• Disable Advanced Economy option, pending full removal
• Set MAX_TRADE_ROUTES to 0, trade routes are OFF now
• Update all remaining buildings with new connectedness tags

To be clear - trade routes are now OFF. I recommend players start a new game, load old saves as their own risk. They might work, they might not.

I would love to see a way to turn off these as well including; fanatic, and other promotions that gives large negatives. The AI is awful with them and I never use them anyways.

Only a minor question, but why are the graveyards obsolete at Philosophy? We didn't stop using graveyards after we discovered philosophy or something.

Practical reasons. They used to obsolete at Ecological Engineering, so they used to last pretty much the entire game, are very cheap to build, and give +1 happy and +1 health. Philosophy seemed the most sane tech, in terms of no longer caring as much about the afterlife.

Blame whoever wrote that building, really. It's too powerful to stick around forever.

1 from incense with that building. After Philosophy tech, there're plenty of other sources of . That's my guess why.

EDIT: Afforess typed fast .
