Code:
Bugfixes:
- Fixed deal items not being canceled (and staying active for the rest of the game) after removing them from a deal renew offer
- Fixed Great Work swap slot not being reset when a GW is stolen by a spy (causing the slot to be blocked and also causing issues with GW swapping for the AI). Added an error message when a swap slot with a foreign GW is detected.

- Fixed Evangelism giving tourism also when spreading religion to owned cities other than the Holy City

- Fixed Event Choices that consume resources being valid even if not enough resources are available
- Fixed incorrect calculation of yields from terrain when a modmod changes the terrain type of a worked tile (error message "GetNumTerrainWorked(eTerrain) >= 0")

- "m_piNumResourcesFromTiles[iIndex] >= 0" and related (triggered when building a Distillery in 5/6UC)
- "Mismatch m_paiNumResourceUnimproved"
- Fixed bug in Religion screen when enhancing a religion with Byzantium after adding a Reformation belief
- Fixed clicking on another city in city view selecting the garrisoned unit and closing the city screen
- Fixed right-clicking on tech buttons leading to wrong Civilopedia page (e.g. Commando promotion instead of Commando unit)

- Text fixes
Other Changes / Modmodding:

- "CS Overseas Territory" mod option no longer blocks Diplomatic Units from entering CS territory
- Added Table "Policy_YieldFromUnitProduction": Grants instant yields (in % of unit's production cost) when a city produces a unit

Balance:
- Promises not to declare war now extend to all teammates
- Restricted the "Acceptable" range of deals to [deal value minus 1/2 the value of 1 GPT, deal value plus 1/2 the value of 1 GPT]

New Hotfix - 5.1.3
Changelog:
Code:
Balance:
- Standardized Egypt Antiquity Placement, implementing proposal https://forums.civfanatics.com/threads/9-a-standardize-egypt-ua-antiquity-site-placement.701396/
- The same placement logic is now used for Antiquity Sites from constructing World Wonders and Antiquity Sites from founding or conquering cities
- Tile placement priority (random within each priority bracket):
1. Owned tiles within new city / Wonder city's working range, no resource (including unrevealed)
2. Owned tiles outside working range (including tiles owned by other cities), no resource (including unrevealed)
3. Neutral tiles within new city / Wonder city's working range, no resource (including unrevealed)
4. Don't place it
- This addresses the issue that constructing a World Wonder sometimes didn't generate an Antiquity Site because no valid tile was available
Bugfixes:
- Fixed CTD when conducting an air sweep on an unowned tile ("ePlayer != NO_PLAYER")
- Fixed CTD when two players make peace and a CS switches sides because of that ("eTeam != GetID")
- Fixed CTD ("eResourceNum > -1") when using some modmods
