- Refactored my previous commit as suggested by alberts2. This may lead to a slight speed increase in the game's initial loading.
- For XML modders: XML's missions that do not appear on the CvEnums.h file should work regardless of position as they used to (untested, not sure if they are supposed to work).

It is imo not important that every SVN rev (especially when it is a long time to next official release) has to be an immediate improvement to in game-experience, my modding style consist in doing stuff in steps so it may take a few revs before balance is re-established when new things are being tried out. I'm just saying that there is a risk in always updating to the latest in-development version.
- Further tweaking of research cost and rate, to accommodate a much lower map size effect on tech cost.
- Added a 5% step in tech cost per map size away from standard size, this is needed until we implement more features to allow research speed to not depend so much on number of cities.
Added a 10% step to amount of food needed for cities to grow per map size away from standard size. This one affect research/building and training time fairly, so it's ok to use as a map size modifier.Edit: The tag didn't exist! My bad.- Reduced tech diffusion strength. It was riddiculously high, which works against the difficulty of higher difficulties too much imo.
- Increased the global tech cost modifier with 50%.

- Removed some more python usage of the PyHelper.
- Removed some unused, and pretty useless, functions from the CvUtil python script.
- Fixed the deactivated and broken "AgingAnimals" python script; but I did not activate it, so it won't be used by the game atm. This is @Dancing Hoskuld 's domain.
- Optimized some python code along the way.
You did this by, script right? Anyhow, I'm real impressed by the result.

As noted elsewhere, we should release this as v38.2 - the flaws previous to these fixes are pretty horrific and can really paralyze an AI in growth, as many have noted, by training a unit that cannot found a city as a settler and then thinking it has enough settlers for a long time to come but never getting a city out of it.
- Corrects units being trained with very bad AI assignments
- Adjusts the Tech cost calculation (it did not do much to change the end results of the calculation in tests I ran so no scaling values needed adjusted from how we have it already.)
- Fixes the Upscaled Building and Unit Costs option
- Some MINOR restructuring of the brokerage system to ensure proper functioning

- Possible fix for a strange behavior in the SPY assassinate mission.
- Calculation adjustments in production and tech cost calculations to get era modifiers to behave more as they are supposed to.
- Important corrections in promotion value evaluation stream. Fixes more than the noticed bug - nearly all AI units were taking the currently value-less Bounty Hunter promo.
- Adjusts the way StrengthChange is valued in hopes that Might promos will become an almost mandatory promotion for the AI when possible.
- Some further adjustments to UNITAI_PILLAGE functioning to keep them from being problematic.

Feedback on general balance will be helpful, as always, in the process of adjusting everything to the new gamespeed baseline.

- Adjusted gamespeed modifiers to a follow a completly different philosophy. Calendar was not adjusted so it will most likely be inaccurate for the time being.
- The idea is that gamespeed should be standardized and not modified much away from that standard; if something seems unbalanced it is better to consider modifing building outputs or other game aspects to balance things better.
- Reduced some difficulties impact on hammer and beaker costs. (Easier than noble, deity, and nightmare was not in proportion to the other difficulties)
- Reduced Palace commerce output from 10 to 6.
- Made trade far more lucrative on smaller maps than larger maps. (may be overkill, and must be reduced some later)

- I gave wrong values to tech/building cost modifiers in nightmare difficulty in my last commit.

- Fix Sea Turtle Myth text
- Fix Obsolete and Required techs for worker traditions
- Change MAX_EXPERIENCE_AFTER_UPGRADE to 250, up from 25. Might be a bit high.
9939
- Reduced global civic-change base anarchy-time from 1 to zero. The civic themselves should decide base anarchy time without some pesky global insisting there must be 1 more turn of anarchy.
- Tweaked game option text.

@Toffer90 If we have to make a correction to the prereq tech of a building or unit, we need to check to make sure the cost isn't in error as well - it definitely was in this case.
@Dancing Hoskuld It's a bit odd that you'd set the max XP after upgrade high enough to basically be pretty close to equivalent to Unlimited XP...
- Adds the Production handicap to CreateProject cost calculation. May be a temporary solution.
- Fixes unit mis-costing due to them not having a tech prerequisite and thus no era type.
- Corrects the calculation for maximum XP from barbs or animals under the More XP to Level option.
- Cost correction on the Field Hospital

- Reduced maintenance in capital through the palace building.
- Will be looking into anarchy time on civic change for some time now.
- Removed two non-existing tags that I somehow though existed.
- Made "Automate Promote" and "Automate Upgrade" buttons hidden by default in BUG settings.
- Made tech diffusion kick in when a player is 10% techs behind the tech leader instead of the previous 25% techs behind.
