Hey all,
New version inbound. All proposals from the fourth session of the VP Congress are now implemented, including the accursed espionage rework proposals (which I thankfully didn't screw up with a third time
).
Also contains some useful UI improvements from Enginseer, tactical AI adjustments from ilteroi, and several bugfixes, including multiplayer desync fixes from seroperson and a fix for the "Route To" issue from KungCheops.

Changelog:
Code:
Domination Victory
- If a City-State owns an original capital and their ally is a vassal, that capital is counted towards the ally's Master
Tactical AI Search Depth
- (unchanged) It functions like a chess engine - it simulates different moves and tries to score the outcome
- Definition of a "completed position" has been made more lenient
- The maximum number of positions before the AI stops searching is customizable in DifficultyMod.xml
A higher search depth increases tactical AI intelligence, but reduces game performance
- With a limit of 200 maximum positions, the AI will choose a suboptimal move (according to its evaluation) about 11.3% of the time
- At 2000 maximum positions, a suboptimal move (according to its evaluation) is chosen about 1.3% of the time
- The maximum number of positions the AI will evaluates now varies based on difficulty level, as follows:
Settler: 100 (min. supported value)
Chieftain: 200
Warlord: 300
Prince: 500
King: 1000
Emperor: 2000
Immortal: 4000
Deity: 8000
Max. Supported Value: 16000
Diplomacy AI
- Set Chattiness flavor to 4 for all leaders in Community Patch only to match VP (reduces message spam)
- AI leaders who have unlocked Artistry are now more aggressive & less friendly to players spamming World Wonders
- Rome AI a bit more likely to conquer City-States
Espionage
Spy Mission Duration Rework
- Base Mission Duration is based on Mission Type and Game Speed
- Mission duration reduced for higher-level spies: -10% for Level 2 Spies, -25% for Level 3 Spies
- Mission duration reduced by an additional 10% for England
- Some Buildings, Wonders and Policies change mission durations by a fixed number of turns (see below)
Siphon Missions Rework
- Siphon Missions no longer result in an instant yield, but in a fixed amount of yields stolen per turn for a certain time
- No longer necessary to keep spending all one's gold to prevent it from being stolen
- Amount stolen per turn is based on city yield per turn while the spy was in the city
- Number of turns for which yields are stolen is the Base Spy Mission duration
- Yields are stolen from the Global Pool and added to the Global Pool of the Spy Owner
- In the Espionage Overview, a new Tab "Spy Events" shows all active Siphon Events
Changes to Counterspies
- When a Counterspy kills an Enemy Spy, the Mission does not come into effect (no gold, technology etc. stolen)
- Spy Kill Chance reduced by 10% for each Level the attacking Spy is above the first level
- Level requirements for Counterspy Missions removed
Added Spy Mission Duration Modifiers to Buildings, Policies and Wonders

UI
- Victory Progress UI is now accurate and much more informative about progress towards Domination Victory (thanks Enginseer!)
Added unique text/icons for City-States and Vassals owning capitals and contributing them to their Master/Ally/Ally's Master
Added unique text/icon for City-States with no ally owning a capital as well
