Hello all,
Following a hack of a moderator account on CivFanatics, the new version thread got merged into the giant mess.
While site staff figure out how to handle the problem, I have temporarily reconstructed the OP of the thread.

Hey all,
New version inbound while we continue to work on 4UC development. Should hopefully fix the tactical AI issues reported in 4.19.1 and a few other things.
Fairly minor changes overall. Thanks to @ilteroi in particular, as well as @axatin, @azum4roll and @KungCheops.

Hey all,
New version inbound while we continue to work on 4UC development. Should hopefully fix the tactical AI issues reported in 4.19.1 and a few other things.
Fairly minor changes overall. Thanks to @ilteroi in particular, as well as @axatin, @azum4roll and @KungCheops.
Changelog:
Code:
General
- Significant performance improvements
- Added LuaCATS documentation for UI and UIManager
- Updated the copyright year to 2025
- Made improvements to the autoinstaller (thank you, axatin!)
No longer mentions (5) and (6) mods
No longer suggests a folder for the Civ 5 folder if the game is not installed in the default location
Gives a warning message if an incorrect path to the Civ 5 folder is provided
Gives a warning message if not all DLC are installed
Fixed custom text on the finish page not working
Added instruction on the finish page to click on "NEXT" in the MODS menu when loading the mods
These fixes are intended to fix common installation problems and reduce headaches for all involved
Modding Tools
- Enabled AssignStartingPlots overriding for modmods
See the header comment in AssignStartingPlots.lua for details
- Added Unit_Bounties table: awards instant yields to the player who kills an enemy unit
- Standardized the effects of Units.RangeAttackOnlyInDomain
Units with this property can only attack units in the same LANDMASS (not area), and additionally cities adjacent to this landmass IN VP
AI
Diplomacy
- Adjusted the AI's propensity towards adopting certain diplomatic approaches
HOSTILE: Now depends on HOSTILE bias and DenounceWillingness (was Meanness)
DECEPTIVE: Now depends on DECEPTIVE bias and Loyalty (was DenounceWillingness)
GUARDED: Now depends on GUARDED bias and WorkWithWillingness (was Forgiveness)
AFRAID: Now depends on AFRAID bias and Meanness (was Boldness)
These secondary flavors are more appropriate
- When Aggressive Mode is enabled, the AI can now sometimes double its DECEPTIVE weight as well as its WAR and HOSTILE weight
- Added special logic for the NEUTRAL approach
When the AI's Opinion of a player is Favorable or higher, instead of always lowering NEUTRAL, it is now adjusted as follows:
If the FRIENDLY approach is outscored by any non-NEUTRAL approach, NEUTRAL will be boosted instead of lowered
If this isn't the case, then the AI will aim to make the NEUTRAL approach score equal to 1 below the FRIENDLY approach score, and boost or lower the score accordingly (within limits based on flavors and how positive Opinion is)
The AI factors the "approach curve" into this new calculation so that it predicts what the value will be, not what it is right now, for all of this
The boost added to the approach when the AI is between -30 and 30 Opinion now scales based on how close the Opinion score is to 0
At exactly 0, it receives a 4-40% boost, while at -30 or 30 it receives a 2-20% boost, depending on flavors
Previously it was a flat 4-40% boost all the time
Homeland
- Improvements to recon pathfinding
- Increased desire for recon units to pillage improvements
- AI is better at positioning units during peacetime
In particular, they will avoid placing siege units on their borders (still a WIP)
Tactical
- City garrisons are now included in the tactical simulator
Fingers crossed this fixes the issues with AI abandoning its cities
- Tactical simulator now considers additional plots
- Tactical simulator now handles combo moves and ranged attacks better
- Simplified and removed a lot of code
- Moved danger cache to tactical simulator, hopefully without breaking multiplayer
Balance
Map Generation
- The continent-based division script now reruns up to 9 times with more relaxed requirements on landmass fertility and fertility per civ each time, before it considers the map Terra or Archipelago
Pantheons
- Now require a capital city in order to be founded
UI
- Further graphical fixes to icons and the Liburna unit
Bugfixes
- Fixed Great Musician Concert Tours not working in Community Patch only
- Fixed incomplete implementation of Trait_GreatPersonExpendedYield
- Fixed a text issue when declaring war on a City-State in Community Patch only
- Fixed Feitoria being created (via Nau) adjacent to lakes and improved the logic slightly
- Fixed top panel not updating in Hotseat mode when the active player changes
- Fixed Units.CulExpOnDisbandUpgrade giving double Culture on upgrade
- Fixed bugs related to AI's knowledge of other players' visibility of a tile
- Fixed a very rare issue where the AI was inappropriately passive towards liberated vassals
- Fixed bugs related to City-State bonuses from dead City-States
- Fixed autosaves not working in Observer modeLink: https://github.com/LoneGazebo/Commu...download/Release-4.20.1/Vox.Populi.4.20.1.exe

Version 4.20.1 has been released. Link above has been updated.
Changelog:
Code:
- Fixed bug with map selection on menu screen
- Added a tactical AI failsafe to prevent garrisoned units from abandoning cities
- Made improvement planning AI better at prioritizing improvements that buff nearby tiles. Will now prioritize building them next to tiles that are actively being worked by a city.
- Fixed bug causing AI to sometimes get stuck improving the same tile over and over (was miscounting for monopoly bonuses).
- Unit Production AI tweaks
Made unit production AI more focused on trade units and building military units up to their supply limit.
Added functionality to let the AI to include units currently being produced when considering how many units they currently have.
This means they should no longer produce units way above their supply limit if they have many cities producing units at once.
These tweaks have been shown through testing to make the AI more competitive, particularly in the early game, so hopefully it should help various issues seen recentlyOnline as of 12:27 AM CDT on March 10. Savegame compatible with 4.20 versions.

- Era-dependent AI evaluations are now based on the name of the era ("ERA_MEDIEVAL") instead of the era number ("2"), which improves compatibility with modmods that add new eras
