Patch 16c for Planetfall, the Alpha Centauri total conversion mod for Civ4 BtS, has been released. This patch needs to be applied on top of the
main v16 file of Planetfall. Patch c breaks games started under the previous patches.
Patch b and c have been downloadable for a couple weeks already, but I never got around to announcing them.
Changelog:
Version 16 Patch c:
1. Reskin of the Rotor unit added for the Nanometal Armour spec ab version, by LunarMongoose.
2. Plasma Shard Rotor spec ab version added, by Premier Valle.
3. The Unity Bays can only be built on an Arrival era start game.
4. The AI values credits more in credits-for-tech/resources deals.
5. Plotgroups/trade routes can run through Ice upon research of Fluid Dynamics. Plotgroups can run through Sea Fungus upon research of Psionics. So Algaculture doesn't allow your plotgroups to cover all ocean terrain regardless of covering feature anymore.
6. Aquaformers can move through Ice.
7. Improvements can be built on Ice plots with bonus resources on them.
8. Movies assigned: Empath Guild movie to Dawn of Planet, Cloudbase Academy to Air Force Academy.
Version 16 Patch b
1. Factions following their trade partner's favourite civic will provide a trade route income bonus to both factions.
2. Building the Concordat and the Garden of Eden for the first time changes the Flowering Counter by respectively +5 and -5. Destroying the Concordat for the first time decreases the Flowering Counter by -10. The Concordat and the Voice holy city is removed when a faction with a Planet Attitude of -1 or lower which isn't following the Voice of Planet as state religion controls the city. The holy city then gets relocated to another Planet-friendly base. If the Concordat is captured and then immediately destroyed by conquest, the conqueror gains a Great Psych Chaplain.
3. Occasionally a barbarian Irregular submarine with Stealth, Scavenger and/or Commando promotions will spawn, to give Biodomed, Pirate and Spartan factions plausible deniability while pirating.
4. Diplomacy music added for Domai.
5. Base screen music added for the Consciousness, Cult and Drones.
6. Feature fix: thermobaric missiles destroy half the fungus around their target plot.
7. Interface: Factions' hated civic shows on the F4 Info tab.
8. Interface: # of features present in your territory shows on the F9 Statistics tab.
