No. Most updates aren't.

I second that - after a long ROM sesh I think a trip to the bath house is needed, especially by some of you. You know who you are.
Smell you later dude
. This was just an excuse to put down the hope on a friday release of 2.8 
I want the UN in the game to act like the real UN. Right now they are just modern barbarians and they dont defend cities. In real life there arnt specific military units designated as UN only. countries send units to act as UN peacekeepers. What is the possibility of having a UN which can be summoned to a vote (emergency meetings) to send peacekeepers to a certain country? the resolution could have a turn limit and you could select which units go. you then control them but they appear friendly to the target nation but hostile to everyone at war with that nation?

Brilliant idea
. I don't have the skills to do it. I als0 don't think that the UN in Civ works that way since it only takes one state to defy a motion for it to fail and those at war with the state you want to protect may well naturally defy the motion.@Zappara I relised that I have never been able to build a missile silo, available with advanced rocketry.
What the game does now is pretty much like the real UN. Peacekeepers sit in cities while the countryside is ruled by murderers, rapists, and thugs of all types.
You can see this in Darfur, Sudan. Even worse, the poor peacekeepers are target practice for the terrorists mentioned above, with all sorts of restrictive rules for engagement.
Examples of UN peacekeepers just sitting idly by while one group attacked another can be found in Rwanda, where hundreds of thousands, possibly as many as one million people were slaughtered by the dominant ethnic group while peacekeepers watched from the sidelines. Some peacekeepers.
To have an accurate peacekeeper unit in game, the unit should give you sight on the area, details on how any combat in the area is resolved, then be removed or allowed to stay at the discretion of the new territorial owner. At no point should the peacekeeper actually be allowed to engage the enemy or attempt to alter the outcome of any battle.
That is the role of the UN peacekeeper.

Oh so true!
Although since Civ4 is a gigantic "What If?" game, perhaps if your Civ built the UN, you could stop it from being taken over by the elite bastards that rule it IRL, and instead appoint your Civ-self as leader, therefore making the Civ UN a benevolent organization that would, in fact, actually work for the betterment of mankind.
[rant]
...or, off course, you could instead become a tyrannical dictator and use the UN as a puppet organization to further your own twisted goals, and in the background you are secretly plotting to kill hundreds of millions (or even billions) of people and establish yourself as Supreme Overlord of all Humanity, forcing the UN peacekeepers to act as your Secret Police to monitor every aspect of your serfs' lives. But then things wouldn't be much different from the UN as we know it in real life!

I do believe I know why the visibility priority is so high:
In vanilla BtS, the Aqueduct visibility priority is 10240000.0. In fact, the code even says:
Code:
<fVisibilityPriority>10240000.0</fVisibilityPriority>
<!-- this building wants to be super-important so that it gets placed first -->Methinks Zappara cloned the Aqueduct's BuildingInfo XML when first making the Bath House, and therefore the high visibility priority was inadvertently carried over.
As the bath house is not as important for drawing as the Aqueduct (it does not snake around outside the city limits, etc.), there is indeed no need for it to be so high.

Yes. But one has to wonder why they didn't make the Walls fVisiblity higher. After 5-8 new buildings, my city walls disappear. I think they should always show too.
Also, I've started a habit with my modmod's to make my
Code:
<fVisibilityPriority>0</fVisibilityPriority>Supercheese

Well, the only I can think for this is that IRL, when city walls are built, they are not exactly able to be moved. So, after a while, the city expands but the walls do not, and buildings/dwellings/roads/etc spill out beyond the walls. Eventually, the city grows enough that the walls are dwarfed by the city's expansion.
Of course, walls do not just disappear, but it seems that they were made to disappear in-game because of how Civ4 was coded: the walls are not defined to be stationary and apparently cannot be fixed in one place while other buildings spill out past them; the walls are defined to always exist at the outermost perimeter of a city.

That's why I think walls should always be visible (or at least visible for a while, they can disappear eventually, in the modern era.)
I have been playing 2.8 with Afforess' mod pack and using his dll that fixes the astronomy CTD. I had reached the domination victory criteria but the victory never triggered. I had also built the U.N. but the diplomatic victory vote option never came up. I don't know If I have the patience to test other victory conditions.

Something about the AI:
When a lot of Barbarians raging the ground and a lot of joungle and woods are on the map, the AI has no chance even on the monarch mod to build up cities.
I have 1200 pts in the year 700 AD and the best AI 765pts...

I have noticed the same thing about the dominion victory but I did get the UN vote. Also 2.8beta with Afforess' beta.
