Changelog:
Code:
General
- Lots of database cleanup and bugfixes
- Promotion Icons v4 has been added to VP
- Compressed art icons to reduce memory consumption (no noticeable quality loss)
- Performance improvements
- More cleanup of the religion code, including bugfixes
- Github commit ID now added to save files, permitting easier debugging of crashes caused by loading incompatible savegames
- Modders can now specify optional primary and secondary "victory pursuit biases" (towards specific victory conditions) for their custom civs which have DLL integration (see CoreTableEntries.sql/LeaderPersonalities.sql for how this works)
Added victory pursuit biases for all existing leaders
- AI now picks a secondary "default victory pursuit" which has a lesser but still present effect on AI diplomacy
- Policy_YieldFromWonderConstruction now renamed to Policy_YieldFromWorldWonderConstruction
- Added new belief tables for pineappledan: Belief_YieldPerWorldWonderConstruction, Belief_YieldPerHolyCityBirth
- Text fixes
- Deleted more old files
Balance
Civs
- Celts: Morrigan yields from kills increased from 125% to 200%
City-States
- Added new quest: gift a specific unit type to the City-State (AI can fulfill it too)
- Distance unit gifts to City-States now KEEP THEIR PROMOTIONS! :D
They also keep the promotions if the gift is returned (City-State is killed, etc.)
Instant Yields
- Separated "constructed building" and "constructed World Wonder" instant yield triggers
Policies
- Artistry
Heritage now +200 GAP from constructing World Wonders (up from 100), GAP on Universities now +6 (was 4), no longer triggers on National Wonders
Promotions
- Withdrawal chance reduction against fast attackers now based on difference between attacker speed and defender speed (was only attacker)
Unit Supply
- Unit Supply cap boosts from expended Great Generals/Admirals are now their own separate value, instead of being stored in the capital city
Therefore they are no longer lost if the capital is captured, and aren't reduced by tech level
AI
- Recon UUs (Brazil) no longer spammed by the AI; recon and non-military civilian UUs no longer trigger AI aggression boosts
- AI much more likely to produce defenses in cities that are under siege
- AI settler production priority now depends on the quality of nearby settling positions
- AI now has a function to determine its favorite foreign religion (used for deciding which one to spread)
- Missionary and inquisitor targeting improvements
- Tactical AI improvements
- Automated human workers now stay away from non-automated human workers
- AI/automated workers prioritize tiles that are currently being worked
- Revision of all AI unit & tech flavor values by balparmak
- Small sanity improvement to AI unit production logic
- AI Defensive Pact limit can now be specified in DiploAIOptions.sql (todo: global Defensive Pact Limit)
- Vassals and masters no longer have territorial disputes with each other (masters only ignore them if the vassal doesn't own one of the master's cities)
- Diplo AI sometimes calculates "# of our cities they own" not "total alltime captures" to make smarter decisions
- Diplo AI now has percentage functions to determine how far a civ has made it to each victory type, courtesy of Milae
Added defines to DiploApproachWeights.sql to specify the "close to victory" thresholds (Domination: 50%, Cultural/Diplomatic: 75%, Science: 80%).
- Backstabber flag for a civ (making them more likely to backstab) can now reset after all DoW friend penalties expire, if Loyalty > 2
- AI no longer offers to buy embassies using GPT before they can do an embassy exchange (but you can still sell yours)
- AI aggression values tweaked to increase loyalty, reduce early game aggression by non-warmongers, reduce backstabbing
- Adjustments to Defensive Pact valuation
- All AI major civ approaches are now randomized by +/- 5% each turn (10% with Random Personalities) to add some variance
Controlled by AI_RANDOM_PERCENT in DiploApproachWeights.sql, and can be customized; set to 0 to disable
World Congress
- Improvements to AI World Congress voting logic, including fixing the World Ideology scoring bug
- AI now has advanced options in DiploAIOptions.sql to disable them from voting for other teams as World Congress host or World Leader
- AI now tracks every single vote made by other players in the World Congress and applies a bonus or penalty to opinion based how you assign your delegates
This applies regardless of whether the resolution passes or fails, though there is no bonus or penalty for abstaining
Replaces "They consider you an ally/rival" modifier
The modifier doesn't decay over time and accumulates with every vote, though it is capped
This voting history modifier is also the main factor used to determine the AI's top World Congress ally and rival
AIs that like how you voted are more likely to vote in favor of your interests and be more friendly to you; those that do not like how you voted are more likely to vote against you and be more hostile to you
To get a positive modifier, you must vote for things that would help the AI civ's interests, and avoid voting for things that would hurt them
The amount added to the modifier depends on three things: the % of your total delegates you dedicated to the vote, the % of the total Yea or Nay votes that were yours, and how intensely the AI wanted or didn't want the outcome at voting time
During voting time, the list of positively and negatively affected civs will be displayed (and the scores if Transparent Diplomacy is enabled); these values are used for the modifier, regardless of how the AI votes
Voting for things that the AI proposed will never incur a penalty
- AI now remembers attempts and successes at sanctioning them with Sanctions or Decolonization resolutions
Proposing/voting to sanction an AI causes a hefty diplomacy penalty
Conversely, proposing/voting to un-sanction an AI provides a significant diplomacy bonus
AI will also remember how they voted, and will use this when deciding how to behave towards a now-sanctioned player
