Changes to v1.21f NOT in the Readme....

[The Troquelet]

We already know that v1.17 had some changes that were just in the .bic file, not the RM (like the shield changes to Great Lighthouse and other wonders)... so if you spot any unannounced changes while playing during the next few days, just post it here:

AAAARGH!!!

That was in the readme.

Well,

it works slightly different now, but i must say: it is more intelligent.

Now you have to ACTIVATE the units that you want to move in stack. That makes more sense, because now you can actually select which units from a big stack you will sen together to some spot.

Cool. Little more work, but intelligent.

Great!

For stack movements, I understand that fortified units won't move with the stack, but what about sentried units? Having to manually activate 25 pieces of artillery seems like a BIG waste of time,

Nah, just hold the shift button while you do it and you should be able to activate them all in 5 seks

New choice for male or female Random Civ in new game setup

You could always have excess units just pause instead of fortifying or sentrying... I mean, if you march a stack of 20 cavalry up to a city, it's not like each and every cavalry unit in that stack is going to end up having to defend that turn.

So???

Because it was in the readme it makes it OK for arrogant paternal Firaxis to remove the 'multi.sav' cheat?? Hell no. It STINKS.

You're missing the point. This is a thread about changes to 1.21 that are not in the readme text, and the multi.sav was mentioned in the readme. Therefore your original post doesn't belong in this thread; that's all that Hurricane was pointing out.

Seems you can't take cities through renogotiating peace treaties anymore. Ouch. Thats going to hurt a lot of emperor-deity players.

Corruption also seems a little bit higher to me, though it could be because the huge map size was reduced.

A bit off topic, i'm also experiencing a slow down in the early game that some other players have reported. Theres even a delay when entering diplomacy before the screen shows up. The whole game just feels very sluggish.

Edit: Wasn't this a sticky 5 minutes ago?

yeah, I unstuck it. Someone needs to examine the new BIC file and post the changes, and it's best for that person to post the thread. That way people can discuss the undocumented changes on that list. Right now this thread is full of posts NOT about undocumented changes.

Think I should just close this thread?

FWIW, I think you should. The undocumented changes won't become noticeable until people poke around with the game a bit more.

Cool! one person agreed with me and that's all I need. The person who compiles a list of the undocumented changes (even an incomplete one) can post a new thread about it.
