Updated to reflect patch 1.0.0.62 (redundancies removed)
Academies no longer remove jungle.

What about pastures getting +1F at Civil Service? They definitely needed a boost, just thinking about when would be best.

The Great Wall ability was not working at all. Changed it to give +15% combat within borders, like the Himeji Castle. (Credit goes to Jack Thompson: http://forums.civfanatics.com/showth...=jack+thompson). It also no longer becomes obsolete.

Is this still not working? I thought it was fixed.

Re: Great Wall - I'd like to know as well. I've been running that workaround forever...

 

[jwallstone]

Just tested it, it does indeed work now. I removed my fix, as the default is actually pretty powerful. I'm still keeping the obsolescence removal, as that was the big drawback - it became obsolete very fast.

Ok. Mod hackers like me should be aware that if you are in the middle of a game where the Great Wall is built and you're running the GreatWallWorkaround.xml mod piece that is in this and the old "Jack Thompson's Quick Fixes", simply removing the file will cause a crash early in the save game reload. That's because a custom promotion is being added to code that workaround. JTQF is marked as save-affecting for this reason, while this is not. You'll have to finish your current game first.

Yeah, I just realized that myself a couple of days ago. Now that the GreatWallWorkaround is removed, this should be perfectly compatible with any saved games now.
