second! Also glad to see the city deal thing was fixed mere minutes after me posting it on the last version, as though my mind was read.

 

[Nightmare Dusk]

Hahahaha....i just finished fixing my modpack to work like an hour ago, got to go back and redo it now. Even mentioned to my roommate that you would release the update only after i fix it XD

 

[Recursive]

FYI - there is a bug with loading saved games. Attempting to solve and hotfix this, you may want to hold off on playing for a bit.

EDIT: Fixed, hotfix posted.

Looks great, though the patch notes are shorter it's because (from what I've been hearing) there have been major improvements to the AI, I'm excited to play against them!

I was wondering, what are the fort yields now exactly?
EDIT: nevermind, it's:
1 bgp
+ 4 bgp at electronics
+2 science at chemistry
+4 science at stealth
+2 bgp at Military Science

Also, it's not listed in the patch notes but there is a new local culture (border growth) icon, it looks great.

 

[Gazebo]

Fixed savegame issue.

Whopeeeee

 

[Histomen]

YAAaaaaay!
Question on updating versions is simply running the new patcher enough or should I do a clean wipe of my mods folder

 

[InkAxis]

It worked for me just running the installer, it usually works like that AFAIK.

The installer wipes your mods folder (only the VP components) for you.

Thanks.
Reading on changes I assume this mean bribed wars and defensive pact mechanics remain untouched, correct?

 

[Asterix Rage]

More GPs

Logic for bribed wars between AIs has been improved, they will only accept bribes against their major competitors.

dear boyos, would it be save-compatible with the DLL update posted here?

Not savegame compatible; I removed some excess/useless memory usage between versions, which unfortunately breaks savegame compatibility.

cheers, thanks for the question and for all your work!

Also, could someone help me understand this one please:
"Forts now based on border growth, scale border growth via techs"

How does tile upgrade (fort) relate to the border growth?
