New version (#11) uploaded to the
Database.
Changelog:
Version 11 (29 May 2015):
CIVILOPEDIA:
- New entries or updated ones (no more history of Russia for all eastern countries; no more biography of Napoleon for all western leaders!
)
UNITS:
- Naval mines' combat strength further enhanced from 13 to 15
- Normal Infantry (at Industrialism) also gets 75 iWorkRate to build roads, fort (bug: was 0)
- Added a specific button for the Armoured Car
- Added a specific button for the Camel Gunner
PYTHON:
- Enhanced Naval Battles: now you can eventually capture a ship (5% chance only as this is 20th Century...) and loot some gold if it's a Transport!
- Ships captured in a city: adaptation of Platyping's War Machines (ships only, 10% chance), added eventual naming of ships kept + promotions Combat I to V (and corresponding level, experience), all other promotions discarded.
- Naval mines are supposed to explode when in contact with a ship so the unit "dies" whether the ship is sunk or not.
- Naval mines no longer count as "units lost" for the Revolution & Alignment computations
- The Mine Tender now becomes a Minelayer/Minesweeper and gains an attack bonus of 100% against Naval mines!
- When successful, the Minelayer/Minesweeper sweeps the enemy mine and loads it as a cargo for its own use!
- Reduced the spawning of Rebels by 2 (alternance of odd/even cities'ID and Game Turn)
RUSSIAN REVOLUTION (1st draft):
- Added a "new Civilization": Soviet Union, lead by Lenin [colour: Dark Red, like Russia in BtS). Note: playable by humans as from version 11.1.
- Imperial Russia colour changed to White, Germany to Brown (for contrast at borders), Britain to Dark Cyan
- To keep the number of players at 18: merged Denmark and Sweden (which already comprised Norway) into Scandinavia, lead by King Gustaf V of Sweden, representing also King Haakon VII of Norway and King Christian X of Denmark
- Python events linked to Russian Revolution:
- Until November 1920, per month/turn, a Soviet infantry spawns not far from Petrograd
- In the Russian "geographical rectangle", each city captured by Rebels is taken over by the Reds!
(likewise, every city built by Rebels in the same area is taken over by the Reds)
- February (March) 1917: Petrograd, the capital city of the Russian Empire, falls to the Bolsheviks!
- October (November) 1917: Petrograd and Moscow are now in the hands of the Bolsheviks!
- Treaty of Brest-Litovsk (March 1918): Peace with Russia:
to the Central Powers, Russians pay gold and hand over cities: 1 to the Germans, 1 to the Ottomans!
Conclusion: nothing is irreversible: the Reds can win over all Russia, the Rebels can throw Russia into total anarchy, Imperial Russia can still fight back and destroy the Bolsheviks and the Rebels.
