Fixed a bug that made the events occurred to the player be "forgotten" by the game after a couple of turns
The Spread of Imperialism is a mod that combines elements of the many mods available in this forum, as well as introducing new elements; it's main features are ability to play on an Earth map, historical events, inventions events that allow certain professions, units and buildings, and leader-changing events. The mod was made with playing using the Earth map (the 1492 scenario) in mind, so it's not recommended to play it on a random map or other scenarios. The mod is still in an early stage of development, so while almost all features are functional, some may seem a bit rough.
So, for the changes. There are historical events for a few civilizations, including ones that change the leader of civilizations. For instance, New England's leader will switch to John Adams through the "United States Election of 1796" event. There are also invention events that will enable new professions, units and buildings as described earlier, for example: at the start of the scenario, the only available military profession is the arquebusier. Later on, an invention event will fire enabling musketeers (renamed soldiers), and that same event will make arquebusiers obsolete (existing arquebusiers will remain in their profession).
Besides the main military profession line, there are also different types of military units; in the late game, a player will be able to recruit Minutemen (starts with Minuteman I promotion), Skirmishers (Skirmisher I promotion), Regulars and Grenadiers (requires 50 coats, is stronger than the other infantry units, and has the Grenadier I promotion).
There are a few civilization specific units and professions, such as the Continental Infantry for New England (replaces Regular).
European civilizations have closed borders and are able to negotiate deals; natives won't give their settlements for free. The civilizations set as playable for now in the scenario are the colonial ones (except for New France, see below in the Known Bugs section), as the European and Native ones have little way of making money yet.
The Europe screen can be accessed from the northeast of the Atlantic Ocean.
Mineral resources ((Iron) Ore, Gold and Silver) can only be mined from tiles that have them as a bonus resource.
The rebel sentiment production modifier has been removed, and inventions can change a yield's production modifier.
Known Bugs:
Can't start with the XML cached
New France will not load up properly when the player is human
