Git Update Log

[Leoreth]

New update:
- fixed 2/3 UHV goals golden age length
- fixed congress occurence
- AI will reject ahistorical cities in trades
- made sure second Ethiopian UHV goal properly expires
- improved Ethiopian dynamic names
- improved Ethiopian city names
- cities that flipped on spawn cannot revert to previous owner on collapse
- corrected Man-of-War size

 

[Leoreth]

New update:
- rewrite of culture conversion on city conquest rules
- recapturing lost cities now spares population and buildings as intended
- culture conversion expires over time
- restored base game culture garrison requirements (disregarding culture conversion)

 

[Leoreth]

New update:
- removed random building destruction on city conquest
- instead, a total amount of building production is destroyed, beginning with buildings with the highest destruction probability
- number of population points lost on city conquest scales with city size
- building destruction and population loss is gradually applied while the city is in unrest
- reconquering a city stops building destruction and population loss
- remaining city defenses on conquest (from either buildings or culture) reduce damage to buildings
- defensive structures are not destroyed if city defenses are entirely undamaged

This update breaks savegame compatibility.

Note: the parameters of building destruction (buiding priorities and total damage) still need to be balanced.

 

[Leoreth]

New update: fixed a crash

 

[Leoreth]

New update:
- number of destroyed buildings influences pillaged gold
- less buildings are destroyed if a city has already recently been captured

New update:

- fixed the Aqueduct art glitch that occurs for Calcutta
- next city production screen appears after city comes out of unrest instead of right after being conquered

 

[Leoreth]

New update:
- added options to sack or spare conquered cities
- sacking a city results in additional pillaged gold, more unrest, building damage and population loss, reduces culture of all other civilisations in the city and can also remove a religion in the city
- sparing a city costs gold (based on the buildings), reduces unrest, building damage and population loss
- changed the wording of the city conquest dialog to match

[Leoreth]

New update: prevented effects of the overflow bug.

I have come a fair bit closer to finding the cause of the overflow bug thanks to the save @Vekkimaster posted. Unfortunately the root cause of the bug was already present in the save, so I could not completely fix the actual problem, but I could prevent it from actually affecting the game.

I have added more logging statements that will hopefully bring me closer to a complete fix the next time someone runs into it. Please let me know if messages about that appear in your event log.
