The CBO is not savegame compatible. The CP is. If you just want the CP hotfix, go here:

Install in MODS folder, delete LUA folder. I cannot guarantee all save games will work properly, sorry.

Otherwise, here's the 8-19 installer:

It amazes me that every new version there are AI performance improvements, great job! I was also waiting for this to start a new game and try Korea once more.

• Red Fort - gains +1 range for city attack, +50% power (so the city can top out at 4 range for attacks)

Will it be possible to shoot to another city?

 

[CrabHelmet]

I am quite skeptical about a few of these changes, but shall play in earnest and try to approach with an open mind. Looking forward to trying the new Rationalism, though, that looks fun.

This one really touches my heart, thanks

 

[bigcat88]

No(as I remember a year ago when I play with 2 tiles between cities, there was no possibility to damage another cities from my in 3 tiles)

Even if you disable other mods, they can still load or corrupt your cache and cause issues.

I can’t debug that many mods.

For whatever it is worth: The installer file itself says that it is 6-19 rather than 8-19.

 

[CrazyG]

Really minor detail, but sometimes artifacts have the name "Pottery Sherd". I'm guessing this is supposed to be "Pottery Shard"?
