Revision 1246:

- Made the AI take number of cities into consideration for the Merchant Republic civic - hopefully most civs won't choose it as often anymore
- AI civs with special bonuses for civics as their UP (Venice, Novgorod, Prussia) have much increased chance for that civic
- AI will now only build prosecutors in it's cities if it intends to use it
- AI civs won't train persecutors in small cities (won't cripple new cities early production with it)
- Revised AI persecution values and religions for all civs, improved AI logic when and what to purge
- An AI city may become target for persecution if it has a religion the civ wants to purge, and it doesn't have a wonder associated with that religion
- AI civs will try to build more defender units for escorting settlers
- Fixed serious vanilla BtS bug which messed up AI value calculations for training missionaries in their cities, resulting in way fewer missionaries in RFCE than intended
- As a result of the above, and some further improvements and adjustments, the AI will build and use both missionaries and persecutors more often
- Increased religion flavor for most AI leaders, resulting in more efforts to spread/build in their state religion
- AI civs will only spread religion to other civs if it's their current state religion or they do not have a state religion
- Decreased willingness for vassalization for almost all AI leaders, even small civs won't vassalize so easily now
- Most AI civs are now more unlikely to raze cities, barbs also have slightly less chance for city razing
- Smaller AI civs will now have increased probability to build units (to be a better match for bigger civs' armies)

- New indy city: Perekop (as Taphros), 500 AD, starts with walls and Orthodoxy, separating Crimean peninsula from the mainland
- New indy city: Halych, 1124 AD, starts with Orthodoxy, representing the western Rus principalities
- Alternative spawn position for indy Lubeck, one tile south of the current one (60% for the new position, 40% for the old)
- New indy city: Zagreb, 800 AD, early buffer zone between Hungary and Venice (also makes Venetian coastal cities' cultural expansion limited in Croatia)
- Revised starting units for Arabia: more melee units, less horse archers
- AI civs now have separate starting stacks - usually strengthening their early expansion when the AI is spawned in an otherwise unpopulated area
- Additional defensive units and in some cases additional settler(s) for AI Arabia, Bulgaria, Cordoba, Germany, Novgorod, Kiev, Hungary, Poland, Morocco, Ottomans

- Once again, tweaked religion spread factors (both vanilla and province-based)
- Tuned down Defensive Crusade frequency, reduced number of generic units for normal Crusades
- Improved interface messages connected to Papal bonuses, added message for the Topkapi Palace effect
- Gold gifts from the Pope are more randomized (well, semi-randomized)
- Reduced number of tech gifts from the Pope, both frequency and chance
- Further improvements in the mechanics connected to barb/indy unit flips on civ birth
- Reduced amount of resource bonuses for all companies (most to around 2/3 of the previous value)
- Revised (again) plague health calculations, should be harder to reach immunity
- Plague will be restarted only for the human player on conquering an infected city
- If Arabia acquires a city before it founds his first one, that will become the Islamic holy city (otherwise Islam would end up without one)

 

Revision 1247:

- Civs now have a separate loading time info for the 1200AD scenario (it will show up instead of the normal one)
- Revised loading times (on the civ selection screen) in the 500AD scenario for all civs
- Changed visibility for the plague icon on the city billboard, it will now always show up when the plague cloud is visible
- Fixed help text for Professional Army, no longer shows obsolete company executive/master information
- Set both map coordinates and city naming popup off by default in the GlobalDefines_Alt.xml
- Added Genoan, Polish, Lithuanian, Bulgarian vassal DCN to the rest of the previously updated civs (Hungary, Byzantium, France, Burgundy, Bulgaria)
- Added Arab and Ottoman vassal DCNames for Scotland and the Dutch - by DC123456789
- Minor updates in the Scottish and English DCNames

 

Revision 1248:

Python code updates part 4:
- Removal of brackets for better readability
- Updated code to be executed faster (Major improvements in Plague.py, RnF.py and Victory.py, minor in other files)
- Fixed Archer garrison creation bug
- Renamed tExceptions to lExtraPlots (to get rid of weird name) and turned it into a list instead of a tuple (for speed optimization)
- Implemented new RFCUtils to several python files

This should be the last major python update for now

 

Revision 1249:

Updated the squareSearch functions

 

Revision 1250:

- Fixed bug with Hungarian Vegvars which resulted in way too high damage on bigger enemy stacks
- AI civs no longer consider era restrictions on vassal and defensive pact trades
- The AI will only choose a city as a primary target if it's in the war map or it's within an era-based distance from the civ's current territory
- AI civs won't accept cities in less than core or historic territory, if their stability is < 0
- Revised era based distance values for AI city trade calculations
- AI civs won't accept cities if they are too far away from their territory, unless they are in core or historic territory
- Added a couple new AI diplo texts, minor text updates connected to previous AI diplo messages
- Various minor text improvements connected to UBs, DCN, UHV names
- Text updates in the UHVs, changed province goal from "Conquer" to "Control" if it was at a fix date
- Naval units can no longer blockade tiles on the opposite side of an isthmus
- Adjusted distance based plague damage on units
- Culture flipped cities don't have a raze option if they are a holy city or if your cultural percentage is very high (same as with conquered cities)
- Fixed quite a few mistakes and bugs introduced in the previous revisions

 

Revision 1251:

- If there are mercs available in a newly acquired city's province, interface message about it to the human player
- Chance for population gain in Jerusalem if a Catholic civ owns it, with Catholicism spread if it isn't present - "Christian pilgrims are filling the roads of Jerusalem!"
- Some additional python code reorganizations, fixed a couple further mistakes in the previous python updates

 

Revision 1252:

- Each nation which sends units for a Crusade (apart from the leader and the Pope) receives Faith Points and Great General Points when it is over (+2 faith and +10 GG points for each participating unit if it's still Catholic)
- Unique Military Order units might leave for Crusade even if you decide not to participate
- Added 3rd, monetary contribution option for the Crusade participation decision, but only if you can afford it
- Added a more moderate Crusade refusal option, no more unnecessary insulting of the Pope
- Civs participating in Crusades have significantly bigger chance for military order company spread
- Further randomized the unit selection method for Crusades, also now much less Archer-type units and somewhat less Company UUs leave for Crusades (proportionally)
- Fixed bug which caused to leave out some units from the Crusades' selection procedure altogether, usually also resulting in some unintended unittypes sent
- Fixed bug which in some cases resulted in less checks for potential units for the Crusade, thus in less sent units

 

Revision 1253:

Minor text updates.


NOTE:
I accidentally commited this revision too early. I wanted to upload changes to DoC, but I selected the wrong folder, so instead I uploaded my RFCEurope changes. Unfortunately, SVN does not allow to revert commits. The changes are minor though and would have been uploaded anyway, but I didn't want to upload them this early. The log message is also wrong because of this.

 

Revision 1254:

- Templars and Teutons slowly disappear after Protestantism is founded (if they are still active)
- Order of Calatrava is only active if Cordoba or Morocco is alive
- Order of the Dragon is only active if the Ottomans are alive

- Fixed a couple date -> gameturn conversions on the timeline
- Barbarian cities spawn with more appropriate starting units
- Perekop spawns in 1250 as Or Qapi as a barbarian city, without any religions
