v1 updates for your perusal:
Note: I've removed the 'on-spread' bonuses and the follower/city-based happiness beliefs. They're simply hard to balance, and the spreader ones were tedious and not AI friendly.
These changes will be accompanied by three other changes:

Note: I've removed the 'on-spread' bonuses and the follower/city-based happiness beliefs. They're simply hard to balance, and the spreader ones were tedious and not AI friendly.
These changes will be accompanied by three other changes:
- Borobudur and St. Basil will swap places.
