[Version 1.1.3]

Fixed the 1.0.2. DLL being packaged in the installer by mistake. No code changes.

Online as of 4:55 PM CST. Savegame compatible with 1.1 versions except the broken 1.1.2; you can load a 1.1.1 or earlier save and it will run fine.

[Version 1.1.4]

Removed the pointless "Create Start Menu Shortcuts" prompt in the installer. Yes, this annoyed me so much that I released a new version JUST to fix it.
No code changes.

Online as of 12:15 PM CST. Savegame compatible with 1.1 versions except the broken 1.1.2.

Do any of these changes pertain to possible crashes happening on the same turn?

Not to my knowledge.

Thanks for the update @Recursive

 

[dostillevi]

Sounds like a solid boost to the Aztec, which tbh is welcome. I haven't seen a strong mid game Aztec AI in a long time.

 

[James Ryle]

Mighty stuff Recursive. You are again Coercive for me to pick a random Civ and enjoy to see how its rolls... Massive kudos to you and all the other tip top folk.

Apparently I need a Google account to download? Is there a way around that as don't have one and wasn't planning on getting one.

Guest mode didn't work.

Even with a google account it says this:

Thanks. Seems Google Drive is being irritating. I pasted your link into the first post.

Edit: Google's spam filter disabled the download link because I didn't verify the account with a phone number. Stupid. Fixed it now.

unfortunately your installer does not work for me, UI is broken. may be an EUI issue but this was not a problem with G's installers for me ...

Just tested with a fresh installation and encountered no issues. Maybe try clearing your cache?

 

[HeroOfTheSword]

Hi, Installer worked fine for me I think but I played Venice last night and couldn't reassign any tiles in the puppet cities Tried it again today with no extra mods, standard speed etc and still having the same issue.

Additionally, I play no-eui so maybe it's something to do with that?

Also, I've just sent a github report.

Oh and there's no panic on getting it fixed as I'll just play with another civ but I just thought ye should know about the issue.

One thing that is bothering me now is how is monopoly calculated? Is it the same rule for player and AI? In my curent game Mongolia has 5 sources of wine in his borders, but none of it is improved - but game says it has monopoly because has 5 of 9 wine. I have 4 sources of furs in my borders of which 2 are improved with camps and the game says that I have 2 of 9. So? What is the rule?
Sorry for my so-so english.

Monopoly is calculated the same way for the AI. In your game, Mongolia probably improved his wine tiles after you explored his territory, so what you see is not up to date. They have 5 wines out of 9 in the world. There are also other ways of getting copies of a resource though. In your case for furs, there are 9 sources in the world and you improved only 2. You need to control more than 50% of the furs sources in the entire world, not just the ones in your territory.

The installer seems to always just dumps EUI files in the default steam civ5 directory (C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common for windows) so if your civ5 is anywhere else you're going to have to grab the folders from there and move it to your civ5 installation folder.

Yes, I know this mechanism, that's why I was asking if there is something else behind. Because I see in my game something diffrent. I loaded older savegame and info about Mongolia's monopoly appearred exactly one turn after they settled new city near wine - not on top, but near. It is impossible that in the same turn they improved it. Also in trade screen they have none wine to trade - so they have five improved wine and they traded all of them? It seems unlikely. I haven't seen AI doing so. Neither they have any allied city state. So I think it may be some kind of bug or there is a rule that I don't know about.

Updated changelog to clarify what the change was: Venice can now transfer ownership of tiles from puppet cities to their capital.

The only plausible explanation I would have left is that they built East India Company national wonder, which doubles the luxuries in the territory of the city it is built in.

@Delvemor
Nope, it is classical era 74 turn. I will report this on github fallowing Recursive advice
