The Old World test branch has been updated and is now version 1.0.69935 Test 12/06/2023
Design
- In Competitive mode character yields and modifiers now scale linearly. Ratings lower than 5 will have higher effects and higher ratings lower effects. Previous flat 50% penalty removed.
- Character upgrades for leaders, governors, and generals (under retirement age) now include only traits, if possible
- Increased tier of grove luxuries ambition
Programming
- More logging and a possible fix for remote server disconnections
- Better failure reporting when an EventOption using the new syntax specifies an invalid subject alias
- mapPath now excluded from GameParameters when writing to XML
UI
- Added a generic improvement ping that is used to indicate preferred placement of any improvement
- Improvement pings are less restrictive in checking validity (i.e. can now add improvement pings to Sand that would be valid for Clerics before founding city)
- CTRL-click Heal now automatically heals the unit every turn until fully healed or idle healing would bring unit to full health anyway
- Clergy included in turn summary announcements and notable character list
- Religion changes for unimportant characters no longer shown in turn summary
- Character tooltip always shows heir rank, if any
- Clergy traits in Encyclopaedia show the related religion
- Added Encyclopedia description for city site improvement
- Removed "Could lead to future events" link help which was not working consistently
- Added text scaling to reduce overlap on city production menu for some mods
- Added hint about Polytheism to the 8 shrine ambition
