AND SVN Build Thread

I solved mine with python methods.
Rather than having multiple settler unit types, new cities simply get benefits based on tech.
 
Lazy coders like me can't be bothered to download 3rd party programs to compile a dll, so I have to devise other methods to get the same result.

Ahh..

I have a license to Visual Studio 2013 Ultimate Edition already, so it was not a hassle to start compiling. Changing the effects to be tech-dependent is pretty smart.

My first idea to solve the issue was to add a new set of XML tags for free buildings for a unit. But it would have to be an array, since we need multiple buildings, and that sounded complicated.

My next thought was to modify the event to pass in the unit id so that I did not need the CyInterface unit lookup. I took a look, and that seemed fairly trivial, and so ... done.

Your way is more clever because you were more constrained by your choice of python-only. Constraints can lead to clever solutions. You thought outside of the box, while I just made our box slightly bigger.

Anyway, that is why I said my solution is "better", because objectively I solved our problem, but yours is more clever, since you abandoned the problem in the first place.
 
Revision 840

Update MinimizeAITurnSlices option to be enabled by default (only for new installs, existing users must still enable the option themselves)
 
rev842

  • Removed code imported from C2C supposed to prevent loops because it was in fact preventing early settler expansion
  • Tech cost balancing: removed flex_ai_ratio now tech costs get higher if you're far ahead in techs in comparison to where you should be and techs costs get lower if you're far behind (i.e. compared to "real world" timeline); maybe it will need balancing for handicap levels

That part about tech costs looks good so far. As I said, it might need some tweaking depending on handicap level; I'll work on it.

That's a lot of changes! I assume that saves will still be compatible?

The only time I've ever seen saves not be compatible was when we consolidated the Orchard improvements. There used to be separate improvements for Apple and Olive Orchards, and when we got rid of Olive and made Apple into generic Orchards, that made old saves incompatible. Otherwise, there shouldn't be any problem updating, although if you have Gutenberg Bible and/or Golden Spike already built, then it won't go back and change the effects.
 
I didn't think so, but I thought I'd ask. Thanks. :)

I just noticed that the zoroastrian and kemetist wonders are still providing a civ wide +10% :culture: instead of boosting the religion's buildings. Is that intentional?
Click to expand...

Intentional for the Zoroastrian Shrine; not intentional for the Kemetism temples. I'll fix that in the next build.
 
[Removed. 12 hours later, I've figured it all out myself and have a working build. I think.]
