Sid Meier's Civilization® V Updates Compiled by Christoph Nahr from posts at the official forums: http://forums.2kgames.com/forumdisplay.php?74-Civilization-V-General-Discussion Latest version available at http://www.kynosarges.org/misc/Civ5PatchNotes.txt Civilization V Manual Addenda at http://www.kynosarges.org/Civilization5.html Update 1.0.3.144 (30 October 2013) [LOCALIZATION] - Added support for Traditional Chinese [BUGS] - Fixed some issues with the Pitboss server. - Corrected some multiplayer lobby issues related to WorldBuilder file names. - Corrected a multiplayer exploit that could allow humans to steal other humans tradable items. Update 1.0.3.142 (15 October 2013) [UI] - New map options on the Setup Game menu. Now, DLC map packs are grouped into folders without having to go to Advanced Setup. Additionally, all the extra maps are placed in an “Additional Maps” folder. - Trade Route Improvement: Update the UI to reflect the change in Trade Route gold if a Trade Route policy is picked. - Added "Click to move" and "Click to view" radio buttons to improve the behavior of clicking on a great work in the "Your culture" tab. - Deal History tab on the diplomacy screen now shows more relevant information. Warmonger UI improvements - Now there are 4 different levels of concern displayed by the AI about the player's warmongering. - Added a tooltip to the city banner for each city owned by a civ you are at war with that shows the warmonger penalty and/or liberation bonus. - Added a tooltip for warmonger penalty and/or liberation bonus to the Annex/Liberate/Puppet popup. [BALANCE] - Abilities of Great Musician, Great Writer, and Great Scientist now scale properly based on game speed. - Great Admirals now have a "Change Port" command. If either moving into a port or starting the turn in one, they can consume the rest of their moves to jump to another port city under their control. - Influence anchor point increase gained from pledge to protect is now 5 (was 10). - Science Victory: Spaceship parts require twice the time to build (or twice the gold to buy) to increase the value of the Space Victory tenets. - Trade Routes: All City-State Trade Routes get +1 Base gold. Gold bonus from having a route connected to a city with a Market or Bank halved (from 2 to 1). Applies to unique versions of these buildings also. - Change rules for razing cities to make it so the Holy City of any religion cannot be razed. - Reduced combat strength of XCom Squad from 110 to 100. Warmonger Penalty - Warmonger penalty for conquering a city is now halved with other civs that are also at war with the civ being conquered. - Make the building up of warmonger threats more exponential than linear (Minor - Major - Severe - Critical). Research Agreements - Adjusted the cost for Research Agreements based on era. The cost increase should now be more linear to coincide with the gross gold-per-turn of AI civs, and also slightly cheaper when Research Agreements can first be used. - Will now only be cancelled with a Declaration of War or by elimination of one of the involved Civs. Denunciations no longer cause the RA to yield zero beakers upon completion of the agreement. - Both Civs will now only get the minimum of the two beaker counts (to balance out Rich getting Richer mechanic weakness). Social Policies - Added Mercenary Army social policy to Commerce (allows purchasing of Landsknechts). Trade Unions old effect (cheaper road/rail maintenance) moved to Wagon Trains. - Move double Trade Mission gold from Commerce finisher to Entrepreneurship. - Boost City-State trade bonus from +1 Gold to +2 Gold on Merchant Confederacy. - Merchant Navy now provides +4 Culture and +4 Production in the city with the East India Company. - Theocracy: Temples increase city gold output by 25% instead of 10%. - Boost Warrior Code from +25% to Great General creation up to +50% - Boost Navigation School to +50% Great Admiral points (to mirror the earlier change to Warrior Code for Great Generals). - Switch Ethics policy (Aesthetics tree) to Cultural Exchange (increase Tourism modifier for Open Borders, Shared Religion and Trade Routes by 15% each). The policy now gives bonuses to Open Border and Trade Routes. Tenets - Order: Iron Curtain now also boosts yields on internal trade routes by 50% (on water routes the +100% modifier becomes +150%; effectively those only go up by 25% from 200% to 250%). - Autocracy: Futurism now +250 Tourism for each Great Writer/Artist/Musician created (instead of +100). - Weaken both bonuses from Arsenal of Democracy - Spaceflight Pioneers: Remove +10 Science in Capital; add free Great Engineer and Great Scientist instead. - Gunboat Diplomacy tenet now makes military units 50% more effective at intimidating City-States. Also rearranged tooltip text for bullying score so that the positive factors are always first, for readability Civ-Specific Balance - Germany: Added the Hanse unique building (Replaces Bank, includes Bank bonuses, and +5% Production per City-State Trade Route across your civilization, not just cities that have a Hanse). - Germany: Boosted camp conversion rate to 67%. - Germany: Reduce Bismarck's desire to conquer city states from 7 to 4. - Japan: Give Japan an Ocean start bias - Japan: Samurai can build fishing boats. - Japan: Samurai upgrades to Rifleman instead of Musketman (also obsoletes later). - Japan: Bushido has a new additional effect: +1 Culture from fishing boats and +2 Culture from atolls. - Japan: Zero no longer requires Oil - Indonesia: Indonesian Candi no longer requires Fresh Water. - America: American Minuteman now has an additional promotion to earn points toward Golden Ages with kills. World Congress - Gain 2 Delegates from a failed World Leader proposal (was 1). - Made Diplo Victory more difficult by increasing the delegates needed to win (2 more on Duel, 7 more on Standard, 9 more on Huge). Also exposed delegate equation values to XML for future tweaking and ambitious modders. City-State Influence: Cleaned up influence calculations when a City-State is killed, to ensure a future liberator will be the undisputed ally and receive the intended reward. - Ally influence is set to 45 (becomes Friends). - Friends influence is set to 15 (becomes Neutral). - Neutral influence is set to 0. - Negative influence remains as it was. - When liberated, the liberator's influence is set to 150 (becomes Ally). 3 New Pantheons - Earth Mother: +1 Faith from Copper, Iron, and Salt. - God-King: +1 Culture, Faith, Gold, Production, and Science from the Palace - Sun God: +1 Food from Bananas, Citrus, and Wheat Archaeology - Great Works of Writing (like the Rosetta Stone) now available from 30% of the Hidden Antiquity Sites. An alternative use of these is to create a "Cultural Renaissance" (equal to a Great Writer's Political Treatise). - There are now diplomatic bonuses for building Landmarks in both city state and major civ territory. Air Combat - New stacking limits on air units in cities. Starts at 6; increased to 10 when you add an Airport. Game Concept text updated to match this change. - Player now receives a warning that projected damage can go up if the air unit is intercepted; number of visible enemy anti-air units that haven't fired is also given in combat preview. - Air Combat: Award experience to intercepting planes and firing AA guns [TOURISM] Further Benefits from Tourism when Influential with another Civ. Science (from Trade Routes) - Familiar: +1 Science per trade route - Popular: +2 Science per trade route - Influential: +3 Science per trade route - Dominant: +4 Science per trade route Diplomacy/Espionage - Familiar: Just 1 turn to Establish Surveillance in influenced civ's cities - Popular: Surveillance boost (from above) plus Spies operate at an effective rank 1 level higher than actual rank in influenced civ's allied city states - Influential: Surveillance boost (from above) plus Spies operate at an effective rank 1 levels higher than actual rank in influenced civ's cities and allied city states - Dominant: Surveillance boost (from above) plus Spies operate at an effective rank 2 levels higher than actual rank in influenced civ's cities and allied city states Conquest - Familiar: -25% reduction in Unrest time and Population loss - Popular: -50% reduction in Unrest time and Population loss - Influential: -75% reduction in Unrest time and Population loss - Dominant: no Unrest time; no Population lost [AI] - Air Combat AI: Never rebase aircraft to a city being razed. - Great General AI: Fix rare case of AI trying to plant a Citadel on a tile that already had one. - Homeland AI: Fix bug in ExecuteMovesToSafestPlot() where it would consider leftover moves from another unit, meaning the safest plot was not actually chosen. This essentially makes the AI better at determining safe plots to run to when a unit has to flee from danger. - Policy/City AI: Added a player strategy to focus on religious buildings and wonders if the AI has started the Piety social policy tree. - Diplomacy AI: Increase chance of City-State conquest if that City-State is a neighbor on your way to get to a targeted major power. - Ideology AI: If it’s possible to take a Level 3 tenet, make sure the AI always takes the one available that matches their current Grand Strategy choice. - Space Race AI: Don't consider capitals to be "medium cities". This change allows AI to start Apollo Program far earlier in Information Age starts where few cities are "Large" until 30+ turns in. - Changed MINIMUM_SETTLE_FERTILITY to 20000, up from 5000 to keep AI civs from settling worthless plots. Added some logging code to track plot values. - Congress AI: When an Embargo on an AI player is proposed, that player will always use all of its Delegates towards preventing the Embargo. - Archaeology AI: Make it possible that the AI will choose to gain the diplo benefit by turning an antiquity site into a Landmark in city state territory - Science AI: upped the flavor numbers on Library, University, Public School, and Laboratory. Removed 'MILITARY_TRAINING' flavor from Library and University. Added culture flavor to University to support Archaeologist generation. Custom AI per Civ - Custom worker code for Brazil: Automated workers will no longer remove jungle unless there's a resource on it (ie: bananas). Workers will remove jungle for resources (like spices and bananas) but otherwise will build Brazilwood Camps. - Custom settlement AI for Brazil: Includes player suggestions of city sites near jungle for Brazil. - Custom settlement AI for Indonesia: Doubled the fertility on lucrative sites that are not on the same continent as previous cities. This should help Indonesia to better use it's UA. - Custom settlement AI for Netherlands: Will now tend to favor marshes and flood plains when choosing a site to settle. - Custom settlement AI for Morocco: They should now consider desert favorable when making settlement choices/suggestions. - Custom settlement AI for Spain: Settling next to Natural Wonders should now be extremely attractive to Spain. - Custom settlement AI for Inca: Inca should now consider hills more favorably; hills bordered by one or more mountains get an additional bonus. Deal AI - Never ask for something from the human that we don't consider having any value (such as Open Borders from a distant civ). - Make AI aware of the value of Open Borders as players close in toward Culture Victories; - Make it so the AI will never pay more than about 15 gold-per-turn. There were cases before of 40+ gold-per-turn. - Fix a legacy bug that prevented the AI from ever putting together offers for a luxury that a human player now has available for trade. - Fix valuation of Open Borders so AI never says "I want to negotiate passage" but doesn't put anything on the table. - Have the AI accept totally even trades with the human (before they always wanted some small bonus, even when swapping embassies… assuming they weren't putting the embassies on the table themselves). - AI now understands how to put things on YOUR side of the deal table. - Embassies now worth 35 Gold base (so AI will almost always consider them worth 1 gold-per-turn). - Embassy cost scales based on deal duration (so 1 GPT over 45 turns is worth it on slower speeds) - AI properly values Gold in hand over GPT, so over 30 turns it won't get 150 for 5GPT. Instead only 85% of that. - Slight increase (about 7%) in the value the AI gives you in gold/gold-per-turn for things (this helped with getting them to always offer 1 GPT for Embassy). - Don't give such a huge (90%) discount on open borders with friendly players. Reduced to 65%. Tactical AI - Reduce overkill percentage from 50% to 25%. Previously, the AI would gather up much more strength than needed before trying to kill an enemy unit, which could bog down AI operations. - Make sure units moving in formation don't use extra MP to "wander" a tile or two after their primary (formation) move for the turn completes. Operational AI - On water maps (Archipelago, Islands, etc.) allow land operations to have a few units "spill out” onto water tiles so the operation doesn't get bogged down trying to get to its target. Also don't use the bigger city attack formation (16 units) on such a map (use 12 instead). - Weight barbarian camps within 10 tiles of one of your cities heavily; start up operations to eradicate them quickly. Military AI - Civs with very high FLAVOR_OFFENSE settings (7+) will buy military units with spare gold more frequently. Will boost the number of early attacks we see, especially on high difficulties. - When rebasing air units, prioritize carriers within operations over those that aren't assigned to an operation Great Admiral AI - The AI now takes advantage of the Transfer Port move to get Great Admirals out of dangerous cities and into the largest bodies of water - Have the AI send Great Admirals out with more naval operations; have them stack with friendly units like Great Generals do on land. - Improve the operational movement code for admirals to get to their targets. [GAMEPLAY] - 19 new Great Works of Art. This is to address players running out a bit too early in larger games. - Added 3 more City-States (Vilnius, Bogota and Wellington, one of each type). [SDK] - Beta password for the SDK tool required to access new content. - Added ability to swap player slots while in the staging room. - Stand-alone pitboss server app now included with the SDK. - New SDK launcher that includes the pitboss server (see addendum for quick-start guide). [MULTIPLAYER] - Dedicated server added via SDK. - A human player's civ icon will now show as unmet in a multiplayer match until the local player has met that civilization. The human player's name will be known even when unmet. Made this consistent between the score list and the turn queue. - Additional refinement of hot-join system. - Players joining multiplayer games now delay the transition to the staging room until they have completely registered with the game. - Making the pitboss network modes selectable from the multiplayer select menu. - Now possible to switch player slots/civs in the staging room. This allows new players to select the ai civ they wish to replace when hot joining or loading a saved game. - Additional stability fixes. [SCENARIOS] - Civil War Scenario Balance: apply a gentler scaling to city defense strength based on percentage of tech tree researched. [MODDING] - Sound modding now supported. Added a "Reload Audio System" option to ModBuddy. Example mods will be uploaded to Steam Workshop at launch. [BUGS] - Fixed an issue where you receive a Free Building in a city that had hard built the same building. Before the hard-built building would be sold off (deleting its effect) but due to a logic area the effects for the same (free) building would not be reapplied. Should fix Aqueducts from the Tradition finisher, Broadcast Towers from CN Tower, etc. - Fixed an issue causing Indonesia to get unique luxuries when acquiring a city on another continent through conquest or trade. - Statue of Libery +1 production now applies to Writer and Musician specialists - Fixed a World Congress AI logic error where the number of Great Person improvements a player owned was counted incorrectly. - Fixed a World Congress AI logic error which had cultural players valuing some resolutions less than they should. - Mongol Scenario: restore custom names for at start Mongol units. - Fixed a bug where gold per turn gained from resolutions would not be displayed correctly. There are no resolutions that give gold per turn, but modders can use it. - The denouncement counter (Declare War pop-up) now properly counts down rather than always reporting 49. - Make Harbor tooltip consistent with other buildings such as Markets and Banks (they all say “additional 1 Gold” instead of 2 gold – this is then multiplied by 2 before the final gold amount is listed for a SEA trade route). - Fixed an issue where the total number of techs a player could steal was being zeroed out prematurely, causing the tech steal to never resolve. - Properly enforce restriction that you can't found a pantheon when a religion has been enhanced and a number of pantheons have been created equal to the maximum number of religions allowed on that size map. - Tutorials: The tutorials now enforce that only the base game rules and UI are used for tutorials. - AI embarked civilian units could plunder enemy trade routes. This has been fixed. - An AI gifted City-State (or city) could cause a game hang if the player did not make their choice immediately (liberate, puppet, etc.) because if you paused, and then liberated, you could get a production prompt for the city which you no longer owned, blocking turn progress. This is now fixed. - Fix a bug that could prevent paratrooper from appearing after AI moves and was causing planes from not fading out after re-basing. - Fix a bug that could cause existing pre-patch saves to sometimes display “1 turn to construct Fishing Boats” on Tundra tiles in the tool-tip. Note, if you have already saved your game with this glitch already in place, you're stuck with it, but it's benign. - Crash fix: If you find a Great Work of Writing and don't have a Writing slot available, UI would incorrectly check if you had an Art slot (instead of Writing slot) available before deciding to give you the choice to take the writing back home (instead of the Cultural Renaissance). But if you made this choice and no slot was available the game would crash. - Windows 8 touch: Steam Layer in-game (for inviting friends to MP, etc.) was not usable. Finger clicks would read in the game even if the in-game Steam Layer was up. This has been corrected. - Fixed an issue causing a slow-down in turn times. - Score for being able to bully a city-state is now more determined by military units near the city-state and less determined by player's global military ranking. - Players were getting public declarations from unmet civs (like minor state protection declarations) that revealed the player name. - Germany: Fix the German Hanse so its bonus only reflects production. - Modding: Exposed CvPlot:GetPurchaseCityID and CvPlot:SetPurchaseCityID to Lua. - Several fixes to Lua loops that were not taking into account that Lua's for is a <= and not a <. - AI embarked civilian units could plunder enemy trade routes. This has been fixed. - An AI gifted City-State (or city) could cause a game hang if the player did not make their choice immediately (liberate, puppet, etc.) because if you paused, and then liberated, you could get a production prompt for the city which you no longer owned, blocking turn progress. This is now fixed. To work around it for now, make your choice quickly. - Additional misc bug fixes. UI Bugs - Fixed the logic for calculating the total number of original capital cities a team owns and determine if there is a clear winning team. - Fixed logic to make sure we always designate one player as "winning" with most original capitals controlled in the notification (which makes this consistent with the Victory screen). - Fixed "Discuss" UI so you cannot ask for a DOF when one is already in place. - There were two fishing actions visible on the Sailing tech. This is now corrected. - Adjusted the logic for calculating turns left for next social policy (was sometimes off by 1). - Fixed a few popup dialogs that were not correctly triggering the PopupShown message. Multiplayer Bugs - Fixed an early-game OoS (followed by a broken match) that could occur when playing between a player running DX9 and a player running DX11 on certain maps. - Waiting for Player tooltip now shows "Unmet" for the civilization of unmet human players. - Making the dedicated server be windowed by default to prevent a crash that occurs if you start the pitboss server over a remote desktop connection while in fullscreen. If you are already encountering the error, open your GraphicSettingsDX9.ini, and set FullScreen = 0. - Fixed an issue where Players were unable to open incoming diplo proposals if they had already made a proposal of their own. - In hotseat games, diplomacy with Player 0 could block diplomacy for other human players. - Reconnecting players would revert to the default multiplayer handicap. We now cache the handicap of the last human player to occupy a civilization. - Invites to standard internet multiplayer games were only bringing the player to the main menu if they accepted when the game was not running. - Fixed an early-game OoS (followed by a broken match) that could occur when playing between a player running DX9 and a player running DX11 on certain maps. Update 1.0.3.80 (29 August 2013) - Tutorials: Some of the tutorials were not functioning, which meant newer players seeking to learn how to play the game might run into a roadblock. - Modded text strings: Many mods were experiencing text keys that were not properly looking up their correct values, causing the keys to display instead of the actual text. Update 1.0.3.70 (21 August 2013) [CRASH] - Fixed a crash that could occur when users try to replace a farm with another improvement (like a Holy Place, Manufactory, etc.). - Fixed a crash with the World Wrap when moving naval units across it (primarily on Windows 8, the FX draw could cause a crash due to memory constraints). - Fixed a crash when attempting to unlock the Raiders of the Lost Ark achievement. This affected only human Washington players who were completing an Archaeological Dig in neutral territory. - Fixed a crash that could occur during the AI turn if a city that had connected trade routes was razed. - Fixed some additional random crashes found via Steam Reporting. [AI] - The number of Archaeologists built by the AI is now more reasonable. - Correct error in flavor changes for ranged unit construction strategies. - Espionage AI: Correct an issue that was causing the AI to assign diplomats improperly when there were no valid targets. - Tactical AI - Pillaging: Update tactical AI to include targeting Citadels and non-resource tiles for pillaging, to prioritize closer targets over farther targets, and to prefer to use damaged units (so they get the healing benefit). [BALANCE] - Allow Wats to be purchased with Faith by Siam (instead of Universities). [UI] - When pressing escape, the tech tree now uses the same close logic as hitting F6 or the close button. This was previously causing the pop-up system to fail in-game. After the error occurred, no more pop-ups would be shown until it is cleared by reloading, or by hitting "F6" multiple times. This would be most noticeable when capturing an enemy city and the player would not be able to choose to annex, puppet, or raze, as it would just annex it automatically. - Audio sliders now move in increments in 1 (was 10) and display as a percentage. Fixed how the Slider control moves based on keyboard and scrollwheel input so that it correctly uses the WheelSteps property. - The Declare War UI now displays whether the players have created a declaration of friendship or denounced each other. There's also now a turn counter specifying how long the Declaration of Friendship or Denouncement has left. [GAMEPLAY] - Fixed a bug causing all "Victory" achievements to stop functioning for the base game and Gods and Kings. - Fix the "Dr Livingstone" achievement. - Fix the "Pickett's Recharge" achievement. - Fix a bug that was causing Barbarians to not properly target civilian units. - Fix "Greed is Good" achievement. No longer unlocks when the AI fulfills the requirements. - Fix the Venetian Great Galleass so that it can no longer both Melee and Range attack. - Fix cases where City State units weren't being marked properly as dangerous or friendly. These could cause workers to wake up (or ignore danger) incorrectly. [MODDING] - DLL connecters now link properly. Custom built DLL mods would previously not load properly (since last update). - Fix "flibby" antiquity sites bug that can occur when using a World Builder map that has pre-defined antiquity sites. [EXPLOIT] - Venice can no longer annex cities through the Strategic View. - Venice can no longer annex cities that were previously their puppet, captured by another player, then recaptured as Venice. [MULTIPLAYER] - Fix an issue that can occur when you start an MP game with AI players, and that AI meets a City-State, and if a human then joins the game and takes over that AI slot, the game prevents the human from moving into the City-State territory without declaring war. - Allow the game to read-in custom maps from any maps directory, not just the main game maps directory. - Unlocked the rest of the map-scripts for multiplayer play (there were some that were previously not hooked in from earlier releases) – ContinentsPlus, Donut, PangaeaPlus, Sandstorm, Highlands, Lakes, Terra. Update 1.0.3.18 (02 July 2013) [MULTIPLAYER] - New Mode: Sequential - Similar to the way Single Player works, each player takes turns making their moves. - New Mode: Hybrid - Turns are simultaneous as they've worked in the past, but when wars are declared, any players involved in the wars switch to sequential until the war is resolved. All other uninvolved players still play simultaneous. - New Mode: Pitboss - Your game can now run in a server mode, which allows players to connect, take their turn, disconnect, and come back later. Email notifications and steam notifications are built into the system. Once the system has received a healthy amount of feedback from the community, we will also include a stand-alone Pitboss server that does not require a steam account to run. - Added an "Observer" mode to watch a multiplayer game. - Added ability to play custom maps in multiplayer. Host and all players must place custom maps in the main games "maps" directory to be usable. - Added ability to kick a player in-game. - Added ability to save a game configuration from the Staging room, so players can keep various "favorite" game settings ready to go. - Reworked hot-join code to make hot-join much more reliable. - Reworked host migration to be more reliable. - Reworked lobby, added multiple improvements to the way games are setup, and added flexibility when loading a save, and all players are no longer available to play. Also added slot-type pull-downs so host can define the slot-type (like Open, Human Required, AI, and Closed). - Game will now auto-start when all humans have readied up. - Added hours/seconds label to turn timer edit box. - Tracked down and squashed many more causes of out-of-syncs and connection issues, as well as other general bugs. - Additional polish, notifications for kicks, disconnects, reconnects, host changes, multiple UI and tooltip additions and improvements, etc. [GAMEPLAY] - Fixed an issue that caused workers building improvements to constantly "wake up" when hostile units were not close by. - Hun Battering Ram promotions which allows only city attacks are now lost upon upgrade. - Fix an issue where the plot under a city would not be worked after trading/gifting it. - Crabs should no longer spawn in lakes. - Many additional subtle updates to tool-tips, and information exposed to players. [IN-GAME ART/SOUNDS] - New Forest and Jungle art for all terrain types. - New Road and Railroad art. - Touched up color on various terrain pieces, as well as some of the texture transitions. - Fix Rock of Gibralter national wonder so that its surrounding terrain displays properly (there may still be rare cases where this can still occur). - Reduced texture sized on many models in-game (buildings, improvements, some leaders, etc.). - Added missing "Selection" sound entries for some base game units. [AI] - Military: More aggressive AI city attacks. - Military: Refine larger unit formations, and adjust the AI to use these against City-States if appropriate. - Military: Make Great Generals more aware of danger nearby. - Military: The AI will now prioritize capturing original capitals and cities that were originally theirs. [UI] - UI will now change based on the DLL that is active (base game, Gods and Kings, or Brave New World). - New Declare War Pop-up that includes an overview of all connected events (like trades that will be cancelled, City-State allies, etc.) - New Single-Player leaderboards for main game, scenarios, DLC, and mods. To add leaderboards to a mod, add the "SupportsLeaderboards" property to its mod properties. - Added a pop-up that tells the user that the game data is changing when DLC/Scenarios are activated/deactivated. - Maintenance-free units are now properly tracked in the Economic Overview. - Planes and Nukes are now considered Military Units in the Unit overview. - Fixed issues with the city Garrison ring not displaying correctly. - Natural Wonders that create Happiness will now display the yield properly in the plot tool-tip. - Fix some issues that would cause the terrain yield icons to be incorrect, or sometimes missing. - Religion: Fixed a bug where unknown civs would be revealed (via Icon) in the Religion Overview. - Add in a player option called "Quick Selection Advance" which will have the auto-unit-selection advance to the next unit without waiting for the animation to complete. - When the active player's turn starts, make sure all their city range strike icons are correct. - Multiple general fixes and improvements to touch-screen functionality. - Replay graphs are now much more accurate. - Fixed a bug in which units were not properly sorted by name in the military overview. - Correct some issues that would cause unit icons to disappear. - Multiple subtle UI improvements throughout the game. [MODS AND STEAM WORKSHOP] - Fixed an issue that would cause some mods to download over and over from Steam Workshop. - Changed the way the mod database is built so that the mod library is managed correctly. - Fixed an issue with World Builder which could cause it not to launch properly on some users computers. Update 1.0.2.44 (14 March 2013) [Bugs and Technical Issues] - If you build defensive structures in your city, then save and reload, the hit-point bonus would disappear. - Hun Battering Ram promotion which allows it to only attack cities is now lost upon upgrade - Civ5 Touch: Fixes the oddness when rotating tablets - Graphical: Fixed issue with Rock of Gibraltar not showing up correctly. - Fixed the bug where the Maya AI didn't have to pick a different GP for each Baktun - Fixed an issue on a city flip/gift which would cause loss of city plots forever. - Fixed a bug where liberated CS would not show their vote correctly in the Victory Progress UI screen - Fixed graphics bugs when the game was restarted too many times in a row. - Shortcuts created through the launcher now function correctly. [Crashes/Freezes] - Fixed a crash that happens when an AI loses its capital, but still has units, so is still alive. Update 1.0.2.21 (21 November 2012) [CRASH] - DX9 Range-strike crash. A city-strike or ranged unit could cause the game to crash when playing in the DX9 version, mainly in full-screen, but could occur in windowed mode as well. - DX9 Cascading graphics failure crash. On certain video cards, after playing for a short amount of time (or across a number of short games), the game could exhibit strange graphical behavior (rapidly blinking graphics, terrain unloading, etc.), which could eventually lead to a driver failure or hang. - DX9 multiple start crash. Fixed an issue where the DX9 version of the game could become unstable or crash if started multiple times in the same session. [BUG] - Auto-Annex, no pop-ups bug. Fixed an issue that was causing the pop-up queue to stop displaying in-game pop-ups until the game was reloaded. NOTE: The cause of this could also exist in existing mods. Please see our note at the bottom of the change-list on how modders can correct this. - Mod constant reload. Fixed an issue causing mods to constantly reload each time the user visited the mods area. Could also cause modded saves to be corrupted or crash on load. - Denmark Trait not working. Fixed an issue causing Denmark’s trait (allows disembarked units to have an extra move after landing) to not function correctly. - Inefficient Pathfinder issue. Fixed multiple issues with the pathfinder that was causing units to exhibit inefficient movement choices. - Exploding workboat graphic. Fixed an issue where the Workboat model exhibited graphical corruption. - Grey terrain/checker-boarding. Fixed an issue on slower video cards where terrain displayed in large quantities, or with rapid draws (like clicking rapidly around the mini-map), could cause the game to unload the terrain system, resulting in large amounts of checkerboards. [OPTIMIZATION] - Multiple Terrain optimizations. [MODDING NOTE] - Modders need to ensure they are calling the SerialEventGameMessagePopupProcessed event immediately with pop-ups. Here's an example from the ReligionOverview.lua, changes are in red. [See http://forums.2kgames.com/showthread.php?187636-Hot-Fix-Patch-Notes for the example] Update 1.0.2.13 (01 November 2012) Civilization V Balance Patch [BUG FIXES] Civilizations and Traits - Ottoman naval upkeep is now fixed. Save games that were started before the fix will not be corrected. - German UA and Oligarchy social policy now work together correctly. City States - Mercantile CS now only get a unique luxury for their first city (and not the cities they conquer). Unique luxury is removed upon capture (players can no longer get it by taking over a CS). Unique luxury is given back upon liberation. - Prevent double counting of resources when an improvement is gifted to a minor civ, then the minor civ techs up to activate the improvement. Diplomacy - Research Agreement code was previously giving double-credit to research "overflows" (i.e. when you finished a tech and the extra research was being applied to the following tech). Now the credit toward a RA will be based on Science earned that turn. - Corrected an issue that caused the AI to attempt coups too often, when chances of success were too low. Also implemented a new factor: Attempting a coup in a location where there is no defending spy (the current ally does not have a spy there) is >=2x as likely to work as it would if there was a spy there. - Resurrecting a player will have both sides forget any denouncing that happened before resurrected. - Don't treat player as a deal breaker just for going to war with a player again. Exploits - Do not let a player earn the 2 free techs from the Rationalism Finisher twice. Also removed the +1 Science from Libraries from that finisher. - If you intentionally starve your city by reassigning all your citizens to be unemployed, you won't end up with more citizens than you have population. Religion - Fix Found Religion screen so you can't find out about civs you haven't met by mousing over the religion icons. - Correct "Peace Loving" belief so it doesn't negate other happiness benefits from religion. - Rebuild religious pressure in case it was corrupted in older save games. - Clarify Interfaith Dialog so it mentions that Prophets earn you science too (not just missionaries). Scenarios - Removed notifications that appear at the beginning of the Fall of Rome and Mongol scenarios about lacking the proper strategic resources. AI - Dutch now will build farms before polders are available. - Do not allow Carthaginian units to spawn on mountains. - Do not allow Carthaginian Workers to end turns on mountains. - AI will now build more workboats and will improve oil plots in the water. - Automated workers that don't have anything to do will not consume all their movement. - Allow rush built units to trigger the operation they were built for to proceed into Gather Units phase. - Fixed an issue where automated workers evaluated danger incorrectly and consequently behaved incorrectly. - Fixed an issue where citizen management focus on Production (and possibly others) could lead to starvation. - Clicking on an unemployed citizen to set them back to work does not "unlock" locked citizen assignment. - The logic to recommend Artist improvement placement now does not count plots where improvements can't be placed, e.g. oases. - Add additional sanity checks for deceptive attacks. Previously, if an AI was choosing to deceptively attack, they would not check to determine if it was a good idea or not the moment before launching, which could result in “dumb” attacks. Units - Fix unit de-selection so the mini-map indicator clears. - Better “Next Unit” selection. Previously, the camera would jump great distances to select the next unit that needs orders, when a closer unit was available. - Unit cycling improvement: when a unit is promoted, do NOT cycle immediately off that unit. - Change minimum area size for all naval units to 10 (from 20). That allows them to be built in the same cities as harbors, seaports (and great admirals) -- i.e. on any body of water not considered to be a "lake" - Fix advanced promotions for melee naval ships. - Restore missing Cover 2 promotion entries so it is available to units again. - Fix a hang if a (melee) unit advanced across the world wrap seam after a combat. - Correct Great Admiral AI placement bug that prevented it from selecting a valid coastal city of yours. - Unit list now re-sorts itself correctly when a unit is promoted. - Subs are no longer visible (all the time) in Hot Seat mode. - Don't give GG points from Barbarian ranged attacks. - Helicopters now take damage when ending their turn over mountains. - Interception promotions now help the right unit (had previously been reversed). - Evasion promotion helps the right unit (had previously been reversed). - Two top-of-screen messages added to explain what is going on with intercepts (one for if the attacking air unit is eliminated, and another if he is just damaged). - Fixed a unit movement issue that broke melee attacking from more than one hex away. - Janissary heals 50 instead of 100 when killing enemy units. - Supply promotion now heals 15 HP outside friendly territory; matching text (was 25 HP). - Added a check to make sure that after a city is disbanded (ex. razed), the units remaining on the plot are allowed to be there. If not (ex. naval units), then they are moved to the nearest valid plot. - Fix for barbarians that would not move the turn after they spawned. - Have Great Engineer pick both the wonder and the city it needs to be built in (the bug was that the AI could repeatedly try to build a wonder in a city that it couldn't). - Make sure Caravels and Destroyers always have the Withdraw before Melee promotion, even if you don't own DLC02. - Barbarians should now spawn in their camp if it is empty of combat units instead of beside it. Optimization - Many performance improvements, particularly in the renderer. - Pathfinder fixes and optimization. Misc - Mod Browser: The "Get Mods" button is now hidden if the user has disabled the steam overlay. - Fixed several text bugs. - Fixed rare crashes that could occur depending on hardware. - Only the “alive” civilization capitals are tested for majority religion in "We are family" achievement. - Added missing Polish Dawn of Man audio. - Advisors: Messages concerning your people being unhappy/livid now display correctly (a bug was causing this to fire at the wrong time). - Economic Overview: Don't list diplomacy values as an expense and an income at the same time. - Fix auto-scrolling between turns. If a user was scrolling when a turn ended, or when combat ended, it would occasionally get “stuck” and continue scrolling. [BALANCE CHANGES] General - Reduced Happiness a bit from Mercantile City States. You no longer get +1 bonus happiness going from Friends to Allies (since you already get the luxuries then). And eliminated the +1 Happiness entering Industrial era. - Ballistics now requires Railroads. This will force the AI to get railroads before getting too deep in the tree. - Pillaging tiles now awards +25 hit points to the pillaging unit. - Tweaks to culture border growth: o Should get coastal resource tiles a bit sooner. o Should mildly steer towards tiles that are near unclaimed resources. o Should get resource tiles in rings 4 and 5 a bit sooner. - Austrian UA balance changes: o Increase the cost of a City-State by at least the amount of gold you will get from scrapping their units. o Must be ally for 5 turns before you can undergo a diplomatic marriage with a City-State. o "Yoink!" achievement is now: "As Austria, acquire a City-State with 15 or more units through Diplomatic Marriage." Religion - Pilgrimage belief now gives +2 Faith per foreign city following this religion. - Follower and Pantheon beliefs provide Local Happiness; Founder beliefs provide Global Happiness - Faith output per city is now listed in the economic overview - general information panel. Note: Faith output per city is hidden if religion is disabled. - AI: Buy Missionaries in city with Great Mosque as TOP priority (even over Holy City if different). - Tall/Wide Religion Balance Change: Add Grand Temple (National Wonder). Diplomacy & Espionage - New peace deals. Now 9 AI levels instead of the previous 5 (so one new level added between each of the earlier ones). Peace levels are now: o 0: White Peace (give up nothing) o 1: Armistice (1/2 gold, 1/2 of max GPT) o 2: Settlement (all gold, max GPT) o 3: Back-down (all luxuries, all gold, max GPT, open borders) o 4: Submission (all resources, all gold, max GPT, open borders) o 5: Surrender (one city) o 6: Cession (1/4 city value, 1/2 gold) o 7: Capitulation (1/3 city value, all gold) o 8: Unconditional Surrender (all but capital, all gold) - Peace deal code now prioritizes both cities that are close to winner's capital AND cities that were originally built by winning player (previously it was distance only). - Reduced espionage notification spam. Will only be notified of election and coup activities if you have met them and (have a spy in the city or are friends with them or have a relationship with them that is above the resting point.) - Added ability to liberate cities that are not owned by their founders or originally owned by the player. The player will receive a diplomacy bonus with the liberated player for liberating up to three cities. This liberation is not part of the "recalled to life" resurrection of a once annihilated civ. This functionality only runs if the city liberated is owned by a player that is alive. There are two ways to lose the diplomatic liberation bonus are: o Declare war on someone you have liberated cities for. You have to be the first player declaring war. This does not count defensive pacts or someone you liberated declaring war on you. o Capturing a city from someone you liberated. This case comes into play if A liberated a city of C's, then A & B have a defensive pact, C declares war on A & B, then A captures a city of C's. C will forget that A liberated any of their cities. - The AI will now liberate cities and resurrect players. There are notifications when the AI resurrects players and cities. An AI will resurrect another (non-human) player when they are trying to win a diplomatic victory. An AI will return a city if the original owner of the city has a defensive pact with the player and they are both at war with the previous owner of the city, or, the AI and the original owner have a declaration of friendship and the AI is going for a diplomatic victory. - Diplomacy: Peace treaty duration scales with game speed. o Quick: 10 turns o Normal: 10 turns o Epic: 15 turns o Marathon: 30 turns - Diplomacy: Declaration of Friendships/Denouncements now scale with game speed. o Quick: 50 o Normal: 50 o Epic: 75 o Marathon: 150 - Changed diplomatic globals: o The opinion thresholds (unforgivable/enemy/competitor/favorable/friend/ally) have been pushed farther apart. They were initally 50/30/10, now 80/40/15. o Diplomatic intrigue bonuses have been lowered by 1/2, from 20 to 10. o "Asked Stop Spying" penalty dropped from 20 to 10. o There are a number of changes to the duration of city-state interaction penalties, greatly reducing their duration. - Diplomacy overview improvements. Now displays "your open borders/embassy", "their open borders/embassy", "shared open borders/embassy" - With making deals, AIs will notify you when they're not willing to give enough on their side to make the deal work. This addresses some issues where you ask an AI to propose a deal and they say "we can't make a deal" and then you propose a lop-sided deal and they accept it. They will say "we aren't willing to give you enough to make this a fair trade." - Other civs won't warn about expansion unless the player has founded a city in the last 10 turns. - "We attacked your protected City-State" statements are now triggered by damage done (ex. killing a unit) rather than simply being at war. As a result, the statement should no longer be triggered by a quick succession of DoWs (such as those done automatically by a CS changing allies). - The AI will no longer ask other players to join in a war when they are already involved in at least one. Units - Unit Balance Changes: o Drop Ironclad to 45 combat strength (from 50). o Remove +33% vs. Cities from Battleships. o Drop Gatling Guns to 30 Combat and Ranged Strength. o Make sure Air Ambush 2 and Air Targeting 2 work for fighters and bombers. o Carriers now get naval melee promotions instead of naval ranged. o Prize Ships Balance Change: 50% chance of converting ships with equal intrinsic combat strengths. Scales up and down (between 28% and 80%) based on relative intrinsic combat strengths of the two ships. Conversion chance if you do sink the opponent is shown in blue text on combat preview window. o AI attackers will now pillage. - Promotion balance change: make the +200% vs. Cities promotion go away on upgrade. - Promotions: Push back Air Logistics promotion for Fighters and Bombers so it requires Bombardment 3 (not 2) or Air Siege 3 (not 2). AI - If the AI is able to build the UN, but would not win based on the current vote breakdown, have the AI refrain from constructing it unless conditions change. - AI adjustments to Wonder build priorities. - Tactical AI Improvement: Spend more gold on defense. AI will now spend gold at their cities where tactical dominance is EVEN (before it had to be enemy-dominated). AI will now also spend money on naval and air units for defense in such cites (before it was only land units and defensive buildings). - Changes to AI settling: o Expand the ring search. o Flatten the value of rings a bit so that tiles in the further rings are worth a bit more. o Make the default preferred spacing further for players not going for extreme expansion. o Lower the value of tiles a bit so that the AI is a bit pickier about settlements. o AI will try to reclaim lost settlers and builders. o AI will no longer wait forever for a settler escort. o Minor tweak to settlement location. o More aggressive offshore expansion. - Do not give priority to bonus resources in rings 4 and 5 when deciding next tile to grow towards. - Tweak to AI settle to reduce bonus of tiles in rings 4 and 5 if already owned. - Small change to make Haile Selassie less keen to expand wide. - AI will now consider annexing cities it has conquered. - The AI will not consider annexing if it is trying to win a culture victory or their empire is currently unhappy. - Increased happiness flavor for circus to match Colosseum. - Tactical/Homeland AI Improvement: Do not heal if under enemy ranged fire (that is making you lose more HP per turn than you can heal). - Allow AI to capture civilians more than 4 hexes from their cities. - Have AI build its units for sneak attack at a slightly higher priority if at high difficulty levels. - Have AI weight Biology a bit stronger especially if liking tanks and airplanes (unlocks oil). - AI tweaks to help coastal based civs: o Change to settlement (cities beyond the first also prefer coast). o Buildings that help coastal Civs have flavors adjusted (they didn't take some rules changes into account). o Do not force high Naval civs to build a large navy (15+ ships) in the first 100 turns. o Make Dido deceptive (as historical). - Tweaks to allow cities to make better use of extra tiles from previous change: o On average on extra worker or two will be built. o Slightly less prioritization of connecting up luxuries (still the highest priority). o Allow one tile islands to be settled (if they have a resource on them). o Slightly more prioritization of production tiles. o Builders will emphasize the capital so that it will always be a nicely developed city. - City Governor AI: o Prevent focused city AIs from starving as much. o Make a wonder that has already been started in this city a higher priority. o Lower the value of food for the governor when you have a large surplus. [POLISH] UI - Add in a UI overlay that shows which AI is processing its turn. - In the detailed view of a mod in the mods browser, additional required mods will display their title if it has been provided instead of the ID of the mod. - Add an “Exit to Main Menu” button to the player change screen in Hotseat. - Added "Restart Game" option to game menu. This option lets you restart the game and generate a new map using your current pregame settings. It's only available at Turn 0. - Advanced settings are now persisted across multiple single player games. o NOTE: This feature can be disabled by setting "PersistAdvancedSettings = 0" in Config.ini - The top panel now displays the month of the year if the game speed is so slow that it actually matters. - Messages about a player losing their capital and regaining it are now included in the replay log. - Messages about a player being resurrected are now included in the replay log. - Fixed an issue causing the replay graphs to be corrupted when a player was resurrected. - Display currently active mods in the single player screen. - Add a separate graphics option for enabling/disabling the GPU texture decode. - Fractal added to the map short list and random map types. - Garrison ring properly disappears when unit moves out of city. - Resource icon stacking. At lower resolutions, the resource icons clip into the date display along the top. We now hide the part of the list that clips if it’s too long, and instead, the player can mouse-over the list to see all the resources. - Better timing for pop-ups (finding ruins, etc.). - Auto unit selection improvements: o On load, only cycle to the next unit if the currently selected unit is not ready for selection. o Swap the direction that the CycleRight and CycleLeft buttons move the selection in the cycle list. o When closing the city screen. Re-select the last unit that was selected. o If the player has auto-unit-cycling off, don't auto-select the unit that is blocking the end turn. - Further refinement to pop-up reordering. Pop-ups should now "feel" correct each turn (in the right order, at the right time). - Don't prompt the player when removing fallout. Just do it. The prompt incorrectly referred to the action as removing an “improvement”. General - Switch a number of Great Merchants to Great Admirals. Add Great General: Hannibal and Great Merchant: Jakob Fugger. - Optimized overlay system (culture borders, etc.). This system is now making half the draw calls that it did before. - Flavored all the civs for anti-air and air-carrier. - Add a combat weapon parameter that allows for a projectile that is not going to do any damage to have a "miss" radius. The helps spread out projectiles when there are a lot of attackers, but only one or two targets. - Modding: Fix the hard-coded length of the promotions boolean array. - Modding: Provide a way for Lua to query if the UI is in "Touch Screen" mode UI.IsTouchScreenEnabled(). [WIN8 AND ULTRABOOK] - Many performance optimizations specifically targeted to Ultrabooks with Intel Core processors with HD Graphics. NOTE: You will want to update your Intel video driver if you are running Intel HD Graphics. - New launcher button for Windows 8 Intel touch-enabled version. - Touch/Gesture Support: o New “gesture” menu button on main menu, and when you bring up the main menu in-game. o New sliders to control zoom and momentum speed in Options menu. o Single finger tap for all UI buttons. o Single finger drag for scroll bars or two fingers together swiping to scroll menus by gesture. o Single-finger touch and drag to see tool-tips (terrain, UI, etc.). o Pinch and expand finger for camera zoom. o Two fingers dragging together moves map. o Three finger tap is “escape” (from other menus, or to bring up Main Menu). o Unit Control: - Single-finger tap to select unit, and then drag to issue a movement order, or... - Double-tap to enter “movement mode”. - Once in movement mode, single-tap on destination to issue an order, or touch and drag to preview movement path. Update 1.0.1.705 (02 July 2012) [PREVIOUS SAVES] - Older saves with DLC leaders (including Genghis) will no longer "shift" when loaded into the patched game. [CRASH FIXES] - If a user does not have a religion, and receives a religion from another Civ, setting the "automated faith purchase" option could previously cause a crash when the purchase tries to fire for either the player, or the AI. - Fixed an issue where a user could click on a city banner during the AI turn, and the game could crash depending what AI process is happening at the time of the "click". - Into the Renaissance - If an AI player has open borders and a friendly relationship with another Civ, they would sometimes send a Great Admiral to park in their city. If the city tries to purchase a civilian unit while the Great Admiral is parked there, the game could crash. This is corrected. - Scenario hang - There was a chance that when you won a scenario, the game could hang. This has been corrected - Fixed an issue where any user with special characters in their Windows name will be unable to load saves. - If a player has Steam in "offline mode", and clicks on Mods, into the modding area and then backs out, the game could crash. This is now corrected. - Game Hang on turn 0 - After patching, many have reported being unable to interact with units or end the first turn. This is now corrected. - Game could previously hang on "Unit Needs Orders" after the player clicks next turn. This has been corrected, and the camera snap has been fixed. - A crash that could occur in Hot Seat if the game core threading had been disabled is fixed. [BUG FIXES] - Fall of Rome Scenario - Golden Ages were switched to providing bonus culture earlier in project. We've removed the culture bonus from Golden Ages for the scenario. - Open Borders that do not exist - If the AI is trying to renew an open borders agreement, but has something more important to talk about in the queue, the system would still record the Open Borders agreement as being active (even though it is not actually in place). This has been corrected. - Military Caste (+2 culture from garrison) was not working correctly. Whenever a civilian unit embarks, bulbs, or is deleted, it subtracted 2 culture, and kept adding up each time this happened, leaving the city at permanent negative culture. This has been corrected. - The "Peace Loving" belief was not functioning. This has been corrected. - When cities bombard attacking units, death animations would now play correctly. Update 1.0.1.674 (14 June 2012) [MODDING] - Steam Workshop enabled. - DLL swapping is now possible in-game. - Updated mod browser to utilize Steam Workshop. - Font Icons are now moddable. - Unit art is now fully moddable. - Mods are now activated the moment you click "Next" on the mods browser rather than when you click "Single Player."

[MULTIPLAYER] - When switching players in hotseat, have the new players existing notifications rebroadcast to them. This allows the player to see non-expired notifications such as deal proposals. - Fix Diplomacy Deals in Hotseat. - Add a few multiplayer error messages to let the player know what went wrong (disconnects, gets booted, etc.). - Add invite button to in-game view. (This brings up the Steam Invite list, which is different from the Shift-TAB overlay).

[BUGS] - When scrapping a unit, make sure any “cargo” units are scrapped as well. - When a unit is destroyed that is carrying another unit, make sure to kill both (missiles sometimes lingered). - Corrected a bug that was causing eliminated Civ’s to not generate notifications correctly. - Changed notification language for when a Research or Trade deal is cancelled due to the AI running out of funds to pay for it (per-turn deal), or are eliminated. It was currently displaying a “because of war” notification which is incorrect. - Corrected an issue that could cause unhappiness from city count and number of specialists to become incorrect over the course of a long game. - Changed Frigate obsolete tech to Combustion. - Fixed Korean science building exploit. - Fixed a problem with City Strike that gave the user the impression that they could not end their turn, when in reality, city strike was still active. - Crash: Fixed a crash that could occur in hot-seat when exiting to the main menu. - Crash: Fixed a crash that could occur when a unit was eliminated by standing too close to a Citadel. Update 1.0.1.383 (02 September 2011) [HOT-FIX] - "Please Wait" hang. There can be certain situations where an automated or sleeping unit is activated by the presence of an enemy unit. When this happens, the "End Turn" button incorrectly displays "Please Wait" rather than "Unit Needs Orders", giving the player the appearance that the game is hung. This has been corrected. - Corrections to Korean and Japanese legal screen functionality. Update 1.0.1.383 (11 August 2011) [UI] - Prevent creating duplicate great people by lagging the free great person UI. - Yield modifiers of buildings from policies are now shown in the tooltip of that building in the choose production UI. - Production tooltip in City View now displays the production penalty (usually -10%) for when the player has too many units than they can support. - The checkboxes for the mini-map panel now correctly reflect the state of the options (even if these options were toggled while the panel was hidden). - Unhappiness is now broken down between regular population and population from puppet cities. [GAMEPLAY] - Slightly reduce the bias to sneak attack. - "City must not be in Plains" requirement for Stone Works now functions properly. - Killing Barbarians inside a City State's borders with a ranged unit now correctly rewards the player with influence. [TACTICAL AI] - Found and corrected a likely cause of having the AI send Great Generals out unescorted to "defend" tiles. - AI will avoid using land units for an operation if they are currently on a different continent than the muster point. - If attacking over land, add extra emphasis to nearby targets (reduce the chance that the AI will bypass closest cities). [MULTIPLAYER] - Multiple out of sync causes found and fixed. - Add an Invite button on the Staging Room screen for the host. - Add a network message when force-quitting the game. Should eliminate the tedious wait for a network timeout when a player quits like this. - Host can now change the game set-up options in the lobby (except DLC) after a group has been gathered. - Player can now manually save a game while in multiplayer. - Player can now “un-end” their turn in multiplayer. This includes performing any new actions, like giving a unit a new order, opening a city screen, or clicking on the "Please Wait" button after previously ending their turn. - Ping times now displayed in the Player List UI (click the player list to expand, exposing the ping times, and then click again to hide them). - Hot-Seat: City State screens now update properly when switching players.

[MODDING] - Installed Mods panel (in Mod Browser) will now display which mods have updates available online w/ a link to view that entry. [BUGS] - Multiple minor bug fixes. Update 1.0.1.348 (12 July 2011) [HOT-FIX] - Hot-Seat: Refresh resource icons for each player so that you cannot see another players resource icons above the fog. This also allowed you to see the location of a natural wonder discovered by another player as well. Both have been addressed with this fix. - Hot-Seat: Fix auto-save issue that was causing “Next Turn” hangs on re-load when players had no AI in the match. - Policies: Fix an issue that was causing policy finishers to count against the cost of the next policy (should be free). - UI: Map Options panel now works correctly for both multi-player and single player. - Modding: Fix problem that caused errors when starting WorldBuilder. - Modding: Fix problem causing WorldBuilder maps loaded as scenarios to always load the first leader slot instead of the selected leader. - Exploit: Close exploit that allowed a user to “sell” a free building for gold each turn without losing the building. - Multiplayer: Because of a hot-seat change, the chat window would end your turn every time a user hit “enter” after typing something in chat. This is now corrected. Update 1.0.1.332 (28 June 2011) [NOTES] - Pacing has received a large amount of work. Expect to have more of a challenge managing your empire at higher difficulty levels than you did before.

Particularly useful for bribing a hostile AI. [AI] - Rebalanced AI flavors and strategies for unit training to improve AI army composition and build choices. - Allow the AI to consider Pikeman units for offensive roles when they can't build Swordsman or Longswordsman. - Allow Alexander and Darius to consider Hoplites and Immortals for offensive roles in early game. - AI players may now use a Great General in early rushes on higher difficulties. - Modified flavor tags for Atomic Bomb and Nuclear Missile so AI builds them only when it decides it specifically wants Nukes. - Block City States from building carriers, atomic weapons. - Strategies for building mobile units now persist into Modern era to help AI decisions for when to build tanks and modern armor. - Dampen early game Grand Strategies to give the AI time to expand (AI were sometimes stuck in a single city until late in the game). - Victory adjustments to AI behaviors, including alternate victory paths as “back-ups” (for example, building the Apollo Program, even if they are not going for a Spaceship victory). - Revise code calculating recommended army size (using smaller armies if the threat is low). - Correct issue that was causing late-game continent-bound AI’s to over-build units intending to invade, and never properly execute the amphibious invasion. - Scale recommended army sizes based on difficulty level. - AI grand strategy and flavor weighting balance pass. - AI policy choice weighting balance pass. - AI tech choice weighting balance pass.

Invasions won't get stuck trying to gather and will get moving to target sooner now. - Operational AI: Don't allow nuke attacks on tiles that will break a peace treaty. - Homeland AI: Make sure that flavor settings don't prevent workers from building improvements.

There were rare situations that could cause the worker to disappear. - Culture: Keep the current culture level of the city after it is captured. The culture production will go to 0, but the culture level must remain the same or else a large city will be able to acquire tiles at the same rate as a smaller city. - Exploit: Removed ability to gain additional free settlers/workers by gaming the policy system. - Units: City States in games started in the industrial/modern era now correctly produce workers as needed.

Instead just continue to show the count. - Production: City connected by railroad production bonus now correctly displays across all UI. - Civilopedia: Multiple updates to Civilopedia functionality and accuracy. - Pre-Game: Civillization Name in Load Menu is now truncated if it's too large. [DIPLO] - Don't allow research agreements if one party has finished the tech tree. - Correct opinion code so we can get outcomes of friendly or allied. - Fix the AI's deal adjustment so that it doesn't accidentally treat your luxury items as strategic items. This essentially prevented the AI from ever countering the deal with a request for a strategic resource from the other player. It just re-submitted the counter offer, requesting more luxury items, which the player could not see. If accepted, the player would realize too late that all their luxury resources were gone.
