Design
Tech tree changes:
- Moved Free Akkadian Archer card to Forestry
- Moved Free Battering Ram and Exotic Fur cards to Spoked Wheel
- Free Battering Ram, Akkadian Archer and Hoplite card costs brought in line with other nations free level 1 unique unit cards (200 -> 100)
- Moved Free Scholar tech card from Forestry to Metaphysics
- Moved Architecture and Vaulting back a tier in the tech tree
- Increased the cost of all 7th tier techs to compensate for the reduction in cost of Architecture and Vaulting (1500 -> 1600)
- Architecture requires Drama instead of Portcullis
- Portcullis no longer requires Drama
- Stirrups requires Portcullis instead of Citizenship
- Martial Code now requires Citizenship
- Windlass requires Manor instead of Architecture
- Siege Tower bonus card requires Windlass
- Free Perfume card requires Architecture instead of Portcullis
- Most map scripts in multiplayer now place all human players on the same landmass.
- Exceptions are Archipelago, Continents, Player Islands and Disjunction
- This is optional on Mediterranean and Lakes and Gulfs maps using 'Connected Player Starts' as this can significantly affect player starting positions
- In MP games using the Player Development setting, extra cities have to obey the connection requirements of starting locations. If they can't the player will not get them
- Significantly increased the effect of Ruthless AI on player opinion and war declaration modifier
- Laurion Mine now enables a Miner specialist on the tile
- Undo is no longer available in cloud games using the Strict (Teams) turn style. This does not affect cloud games using Strict (Players) which still have undo.
Programming

- Yields are now shown for all agent network cities regardless of agent status when sorting by base yields
