New beta version inbound. I've combined the changelogs into one big one (see spoiler below) for the past few beta versions so we have a better idea of where we stand (and also to note that we're nearing our next full release). Things are looking really good! Again, as with previous versions, this is a beta, so only download if you want to test!
Things to test and look out for:
Version online as of 12:00am EST. Remember to delete LUA folders in CP/CBP if using full version, and also remember to clear your cache! Is not savegame compatible with saves from earlier versions.

Changes and Improvements
- Set up warmonger penalties to only apply to cities you can liberate after you have chosen not to liberate it (this is why liberating a CS could cause your warmonger to rise - the cost of conquest was greater than the bonus for liberation).
- Added diminishing returns for warmonger bonuses from liberating the same CS over and over, and removed warmonger penalties from recapturing a city that you were the previous owner of.
- Added Ally civ icon to espionage screen for minor civs (easier to see where to send spies this way)
- Added city banner and popup window icons/text for austrian marriage status with CSs
- Added Coup 'faux quest' icon to CS quests to more easily check on the coup cooldown for CSs
- Reworked religious natural spread to be based on pathfinder - religion now spreads more evenly/clearly based on terrain, roads, impassable objects, etc. (no more 'radio wave religion')
- Added information to TR target choosing popup: your influence over the civ (by %), whether or not you are already connected to the civ (only shows for morocco), and City-State personality information (CBP)
- Added ability to sort by influence over a civ (for international routes), as well as production and food (For internal routes) (CBP)
- Added support for latest EUI (1.27d).
NOTE 1: There is a bug in bc_1's code that causes yields in the cityview to bleed over in the buildings column on the right side - waiting on bc_1 for a fix.
NOTE 2: EUI and EUI-CBP are now in-sync EXCEPT for the trade and leader screens - those will never be updated as of 1.27b, as the code is not easily customizeable without lots of rewrites.Bugfixes:
- Added War Score decay based on number of turns at war - War Score moves towards zero the longer a war lasts, so you can't 'eke' out a victory by stalling. Resets on city capture.
- Reworked mod menu ordering using (#) model to make it easier to enable all mods in the proper order.
- Fixed coup % change multiplier error (one of the many unclear 100/not 100 elements in the DLL)
- Pathfinder completely rewritten by ilteroi (a HUGE task - he deserves major props for this) - could potentially fix the MP desyncs (more testing needed)
- Fixed issue with Golden Age rollover so that happiness adds in during a golden age instead of being lost.
- Fixed 'settler-swallowing jungles' for JFD's EXCE and added JFD support for Currency mod, and includes JFD for GW event fix
- Fixed multiple bugs and quirks in vassal code with relations to Deal AI
- Fixed lua/deal AI and class woes with regards to resources, and loosened some deals (such as 3rd party war/peace)
- Fixed French UA culture ability not triggering full +100% bonus (CBP)
- Fixed Arabia UA duplication quirk due to improvement layering (CBP)
- Fixed Charge II and Promotion II not upgrading properly (CBP)
- Adjusted AI proclivity for international v. internal routes based on war
- Adjusted value scaling and probability %s of spy advanced actions
- Can no longer bait DOF or DP into war using the 'deal with it' button (so deal with it)
- AI optimizations of danger plot scoring and scooting
- Fixes for a few religion-related things for AI
- Barb aggression, spawning, and naval spawning addressed
- Assorted AI fixes and github errors addressed
- Tactical AI improvements and fixes
- Pathfinder, site settlement, terrain sanity and map generator fixes/improvements
- Rebase, air, unit movement, and other elements optimized and bug-fixed
- Fixed river spaghetti on standard map generation
- Bugfixes and AI/DLL improvements:
- Worked a bit more on vassal logic, and fixed vassal bugs (i.e. vote commitment being 0)
- Fixed some tooltip and other smaller bugs (github reports, etc.)
- Added UI info in trade screen (box courtesy JFD) for peace deals with AI, but only if the AI is the one surrendering (info is above trade boxes in center of screen)
- Gives the max and current value of the peace deal, thus letting you more easily set your own terms
- Does not appear when you surrender or if you are doing a white peace
- -1 in leftmost deal value element means the AI will not trade the item.
- Added new art courtesy Wodhann
- Added support for JFD currencies code
- Minor Civ AI should build more military units, reliably
- Fixed Cold War bug cancelling all TRs b/w major civs.
- Added QoL elements to civilopedia for improvements with new CP bonuses like adjacency
- Added deficit model to LUA for happiness yield values tooltips while hovering over in-city happiness element (CBP)
Leader Balance:
- Austria UA now needs 20 turns of alliance for marriage application (too hasty, Mr. Wickham)
- Incan UA modified (in testing): Incans can settle cities on mountains and build roads/railroads on mountains. Only Inca may move on mountains, however roads/railroads on mountains (and cities) are passable to all.
- Celts: UA element changed - now gain +3 faith in every city where your Pantheon is present instead of GW bonus. UA pantheons rebalanced to remove faith and add other yields (WIP). Pictish Warrior now CS 13 (Was 11)
- Reworked Polder base stats:
+2 Food, +1 Gold
+1 Gold to adjacent Villages and Towns- Reworked Terrace Farm base stats:
+1 Food, +1 Production
+1 Food per adjacent Mountain
+1 Food to adjacent Farms- Feitoria buffed:
Trade Routes to or from City-States with a Feitoria produce Production and Food equal to 25% of your Gold income from the trade route.
Building Balance:
Unit Balance:
- Oxford University Natl. Wonder - now 50 culture per tech researched, scaling w/ era.
- Circus Maximus now grants +10% Gold and Culture in the City during WLTKD.
- Ironworks generates +50 Science when you construct a building in this City, scaling with era.
- Grand Temple provides a golden age
- Free Social Policy removed from St. Basil's
- Taj Mahal provides +1 GAP per 5 citizens in City along with golden age
- Spanish Mission buffed (Was 30/15 yield %, is now 50/66)
- Ironworks now requires Forge instead of Workshop, is +10 production (was +8)
- Increased per-player cost of WC Leage Projects by around 30% (including CSD projects)
- Stockyard now Agribusiness (purely a name change)
- Odeon now Acropolis, gains +4 defense for city
- Removed specialist from longhouse
- Buffed St. Basil yields to 4faith/3culture (Was 3/1)
- Helicopter gets a free ranged attack before melee (like Impi)
- Paratrooper gains +25% CS v. Siege, Marine +20% v. Gun (Melee) units
- Workboats now 40 (were 70)
Other Balance:
Diplo AI Changes:
- Settler difficulty (CBP) now an advantage for the player - all other difficulties below Deity adjusted slightly to compensate for change
- Iron Working tech now requires construction, sailing requires military theory
- More aggressive scaling for internal route yields, and added a delta model for yields based on the difference in size b/w origin and destination cities
- Scaling model for internal trade routes is 1 for Classical/Medieval, and then 2 for Renaissance-on (was .5 for all)
- Reduced international TR yield % mods and CS ally/friend bonuses
- Reduced river bonus for International TRs to 20% (was 33%)
- Added era scaling for wonder consolation prize, but reduced base conversion value of consolation
- Coups now have a 20 turn cooldown, scaling with game speed (CP/CBP)
- Universal Healthcare (Freedom) - now grants +50 culture, scaling with Era, when a Citizen is born in any City.
- Increased happiness-tech delta slightly (more unhappiness in late game)
- Removed duplicated units at Deity level (handicap), but increased starting base units by 1 (no more two-city starts)
- Reworked difficulty curve and modeling in the DLL, specifically with regards to how and when the AI gets bonuses. This one is a biggie, and I'll need help balancing it.
- The AI now gets bonuses when it founds or conquers cities (scaling by era and number of cities owned), when it enters a new era, and when it starts a golden age (Should help curve AI power and challenge a bit more into the later game). The era and cities are opposed, to Civs get more bonuses as they progress through eras, but the amount is reduced based on the number of cities they own. This acts as a mild form of rubber-banding.
Added diplo opinion duration limitations for:
- landmarks
- returning civilians
- liberating cities
- forgiving spying
- sharing intrigue
- converting cities
- spy theft

- Pagoda reduced to +2 per religion
