Revision 1200-1201:

Lorraine province is historic for the Franks, switches to border on the German spawn
Added some stability bonuses for AI civs which had a hard time at the beginning for various reasons (early civic changes, too many foreign cities, barb activity, etc.)

Minor update in the Frankish spawn area

 

[AbsintheRed]

[merijn_v1]

Rev 1203:

- Some extra measures to avoid double mercenary promotion
- Base code to allow spawning independent cities to be picked from a pool

The citypools currently contain only 1 city, so it is the same situation as before. Except Palermo, so there is an example how the pools should look like. (Palermo 80%, Syracuse 20%)

 

[AbsintheRed]

Revision 1204:

Various fixes/updates in the Indy and Barb city spawns
Timber, Deer and Fur resources will disappear if the Woodland/Dense Forest/Palm Forest is cut down

Unworking stability bonus for your healthy cities changed to stability penalty for your unhealthy cities

[AbsintheRed]

Revision 1206:

Fixed the city attack CTD - huge thanks to Alberts2, also to Nightinggale and PinkPallin for their help
Norwegian 2nd UHV: Scotland and Northumbria instead of Mercia
Franks start with the Theology tech, in the State Religion civic, and with Catholicism as their State Religion
In the 1200AD scenario the 500AD DoM texts were set for all civs spawning later than 1200AD
Added Venetian, Byzantine, Arab and English DoM texts for the 1200 AD scenario - by TheMulattoMaker and DC123456789
Nerfed various German production and support modifiers, they seem to have much more cities with the new AI city placement rules
Updated all texts connected to the minor nation revolts, most noticable in the popup.
New interface messages for various events on the minor nation revolt mechanics
Adjusted the potential bonus from stability with the strength on the revolt, so it will never be negative if you are stable enough
None of the actual chances can be negative on revolts, but they can modify the other options negatively in the background calculations
Rewrote all chance calculations for all minor nation revolt options, also the interactions between them:
- Do nothing: base chance calculated from the strength of the revolt, your stability, and your passive military presence in the city
- Military: base chance + significant bonuses for having many military units in the city and your military might
- Financial: base chance + bonuses from the amount of gold you spend on bribes, adjusted with your government form
- Both: base chance + military bonuses + financial bonuses
Effects from your actions on successfully preventing the revolt:
- Military: generates unhappiness in the city for 10 turns, the city goes into revolt for a turn
- Financial: bribing the lords away (thus preventing their independence) angers the rebel militia further, more attacking units will appear
- Both: all of the above effects

 

[merijn_v1]

All vassal and master status updates happen initially on respawns, DCN refreshes for all affected civs
Increased chance for AI civs to vassalize respawned civs in their territory right on the spawn
Cut back tech progression for Germany and a couple other AI civs, Protestantism was founded before 1500 in most recent games
Decreased Ottoman unit production and maintenance bonuses, with the recent changes they are doing better than great
Added a couple more starting units to many later starting civs (Austria, Ottomans, Dutch included)
