New Version - January 14th (1/14)

[Gazebo]

Hey all,

New version inbound. Lots of changes and improvements. List below is a compilation of all beta notes since 1/3.

Bugs:

• Normalized versioning (1.1.14 = Mod Version 1, January 14th iteration)
• Reworked text formatting on building help for buildings with resource bonuses
• Fixed a few more bugs in plots, pathfinder, unit movement, pathing, displacement, etc. (ilteroi)
• Added MP denounce button in trades (offset to left, will address offset later)
• Fix MP LAN/Online lobby bug
• Fixed most github bugs, some system interaction bugs, and some other reported bugs
• Added ilteroi changes to garrison calculation (may fix crime yield issue, hopefully)
• Optimization of happiness subroutines (ilteroi again - may fix crime issue)
• Other assorted bugfixes (including fixes for Spain UA-belief synergy)
• Worked a bit more on some AI building logic
• Fixed holysite and oil tooltip shenanigans
• Added GPExtra1-5 support for JFD.
• QoL elements for civilopedia.
• Writers and Scientists now have their 'pop' values set at birth, instead of scaling while they exist (i.e., you can't effectively hoard them anymore) (CP)
• Historic Event bonus from global CS events now only gained once per turn (instead of once per CS with that quest going on) (CBP)
• Some QoL additions/fixes, and some text clarifications
• Fixed bug in culture notification system that was causing it to fail (i.e. you should now get annoucements when your culture level changes, and other levels change over you).

Balance:

• Lots of base resource, improved resource, and building resource yield changes (note: I did revert sheep base yield change)
• Increase faith cost of buildings for reformation beliefs slighlty (around 25%)
• Happiness values increase more sharply in the mid-late game
• Switched +1 Gold from resources on Tabya to +2 Production
• Yield bonus on Ivory from Circus now +3 Culture (was +3 Gold)
• Bank Yield for resources now +3 (Was +2)
• Forge and Stone Works lose base +1 Production - Forge now grants +1 Production +1 Gold to Iron and Copper (was +1 Production)
• Amphitheater/Acropolis now improves Silk as well - +2 Culture to Silk, Dye, and Lapis (for More Luxuries)
• Caravansary/Burial Tomb: Truffles now 2 Gold, Cotton 1 Production 1 Culture, and Furs 1 Gold 1 Production
• Market/Bazaar: Spices now +1 Food +1 Production, Sugar now +1 Food +1 Gold
• Increased culture border growth slightly for cities (~8%)
• Trade Routes now add additional gold to Villages/Towns independent of city connections (+1 Gold/Production pre-Industrial, +2 Gold/Production Industrial-on)
• Village: +1 Gold (base)

Aesthetics Branch modified:

• Humanism: Amphitheaters, Opera Houses, Museums, and Broadcast Towers produce +3 Science. All Great Works produce +1 Gold and +1 Culture.
• Refinement: All positive Happiness is added to your Empire-wide Culture rate. +1 Happiness and +3 Culture from all Guilds.
• National Treasure: A Great Person of your choice appears near your Capital. Entering a Golden Age or completing an Archaeological Dig generates Tourism with all known Civilizations (based on your Culture output).
• Heritage: All World Wonders produce +2 Tourism. +3 Culture from Great Person Improvements.
• Cultural Exchange: Increases the Tourism modifier for shared religion, trade routes, and open borders by 25% each. The empire immediately enters a Golden Age.

Leaders:

• Hunnic UA: Now Plains and Grasslands (was just Grasslands)
• Arabian UA: When you complete a Historic Event, your Capital gains +3 Science and Culture, and +25% of needed points towards a random Great Person. Tourism from Historic Events increased by 20%.
• Persian UA: 10% of Tourism added to GAP per turn.
• Siam UA: now 75% of yields from CS (was 50%)
• Austria: Coffee House - moved to Grocer, now gains +25 Gold (scaling) from GP birth
• China UB: Tea Paviliion - moved to Opera House, now +1 science and +1 culture per 4 citizens.
• Egypt UA: +20% Production towards Wonder construction. Artifacts gain +2 Science, Faith, and Culture. +4 Gold, Golden Age Points, and Tourism from Landmarks
• Egypt UB: Buffed Burial tomb base yields (now +3 faith, +2 Production)

Not savegame compatible with previous versions. All files updated, including auto-installer.

Should be online as of 5pm EST.

Cheers,
Gazebo

Hunnic UA: Now Plains and Grasslands (was just Plains)

As mentioned in the other thread, the old Hunnic UA did not work on plains, only grasslands.

Forge and Stone Works lose base +1 Production - Forge now grants +2 Production to Iron and Copper

Switched +1 Gold from resources on Tabya to +2 Production

Did it get changed back to +2 production? In the last beta it was 1p 1g.

Lots of base resource, improved resource, and building resource yield changes (note: I did revert sheep change)

Did you revert the whole Sheep-thing or just the first point of production?
AKA does it still give you that 1 point of gold from a pasture-improvement?


Anything else that's new in this version that I probably missed? I saw the slightly boosted border expansion(that I felt were unnecessary) and the Siam-change.

Thanks, clarified points above. Only other new thing is that Trade Routes now add Gold/Production to Villages/Towns on top of connection bonus, instead of being 'either/or.' Also, Villages/Towns get the bonus whether or not they're on a road, so it loosens them up just a little.

so now you can put it anywhere and you get the bonus as long as the city which is working it, has got a connection !?

 

[Mitch.sp]

Oasis isn't givint the usual 3F 2G, only 3F. Not sure if is a local problem because I've make a couple of changes in my usual mod setup, so I'll try to test further later.

 

[Gazebo]

What? No, Villages and Towns get a bonus if they're on a city connection road/railroad and/or a trade route passes over them.

You get the bonus when a trade route or city connection cross the tile, both accumulable.

ok but what do you mean by "Also, Villages/Towns get the bonus whether or not they're on a road, so it loosens them up just a little."?

City connection and/or a trade route bonus. Before, they had to be on a city connection road AND have a trade route pass over them for the latter bonus.

Not sure why the oasis code got duplicated. Yep, add that to the end. Not a huge deal, but yeah, should be 3f/2g.

Yep. Going to reupload CBP and installer shortly, so don't worry about it.

And re-uploaded CBP and installer with oasis yield fix. Savegame compatible, just clear cache.

Is some of the Github bugs you mentioned have anything to do with the game crashing/locking up?

In what context? There was no specific reported issue related to locking-up, though I've run around 12 full 0-600 turn games on the current DLL with nary a crash or slowdown.

Already changed, but thanks anyways for the attention to detail.

I've been experience crashes or the game just locking up like what I mentioned in the Bug Report thread on post 4246.
I also someone else talking about something similar in the 1-10b thread, but I didn't understand if that was resolved or what the was causing the problem there.
