Old World March 12th Updated Test Build

[h2]Test Branch 1.0.76797 Test 2025-03-12[/h2]

[h3]Design[/h3]

National Ambitions:
  • The final ambition is now called a National Ambition and may be offered early, after a player has completed 5 ambitions
  • The offer is triggered soon after the player reaches 75% progress towards one of the national ambitions
  • National Ambitions are not used for tier counting purposes i.e. they do not make regular ambition offers harder
  • All National Ambitions are listed in the Encyclopedia under their own category
  • Added new National Ambition '+250 Food, Iron, Stone, Wood and Money per turn'. This replaces the previous ambition to stockpile 2000 of each resource
  • Added new regular Ambition 'Control 4 Hamlet class improvements'
  • Adjusted ambition threshold calculations and ambition events to allow a greater variety of ambitions to be offered


Continent map script changes:
  • Continent is now the default map script
  • Added new Extreme Terrain suboption 'None' and made this the default
  • Tribal Lands placement option removed


Other design changes:
  • 7 new events relating to Calamities happening to other players (Wrath of Gods)
  • Reduced other religion opinion penalty duration for Venerate mission (Wrath of Gods)
  • Increased chance of Scrub appearing on new Arid tiles on Ebbing Sea map from 2% to 10% (Wrath of Gods)


[h3]Programming[/h3]

  • Mod manager no longer fully loads installed maps when fetching subscription info
  • Unit XP overflow into training uses TRAINING_PER_XP for consistency
  • Buildable projects now use a ProductionType such as YIELD_CIVICS. Non-buildable projects do not require this
  • iCivics has been renamed to iCost in project.xml


[h3]UI[/h3]

  • Popup text minimum scaling reduced
  • Can now queue the same tile multiple times without the unit executing the queued moves
  • When the last tile in a move queue is right-clicked, the unit executes the queue
  • Flipped luxury panel buttons
  • Tweaked alignment for scenario-specific goal info
  • Archetypes now shown in line of succession panel
  • Improvement pings are no longer removed by an occurrence rendering a tile impassable (Wrath of Gods)
  • Boosted plague fog visibility (Wrath of Gods)
  • Boosted volcano animation speed (Wrath of Gods)
