World maps loaded from the Setup World screen now display the name tagged in Elemental.str by the name in their filename, rather than using the filename name directly (for translations)
AI
Unique monsters always get into the decision queue each turn (so they will try to wreck you)
Modified treaty values so that trading is more fair.
Peace treaties substantially cheaper for factions that are far away from each other.
Relations adjust more slowly than previous
New API: CalcRelationsFromRelationWeights is designed to let us, at a glance see what a given AI feels about another player.
Much more sophisticated relations evalauation (lots of stuff)
New DIplomacy relations evaluator implemented. Now modifiers also take into account the current relations and kick in only if that condition is met as well. (for example, if someone is far away from you, it won't just give you a +1 because they're far away. It'll only give you a +1 if their relations are starting to head towards warfare, the effect is that there's a lot more drifting to neutral rather than extremes)
A lot of new interactions with players to explain why they feel the way they do.
More interaction with the player about what the AI is doing about others.
Conquering a city now reduces the city population by 75% (was 50%)
New attitude modifiers:
- We are not competing for territory: +1 (conditional if below neutral)
- I don't really know you: -1 (conditional if above neutral)
- What you are doing is really not my concern +1 (conditional if below neutral)
- You are beyond my sphere of influence -2 (conditional if above neutral)
- Same Allegience diplomatic bonus decreased by 1
- Tribute treaty does does less bonus if relations are high, more bonus if relations are low
- Jealous -1 (conditional: Must be proud, have a lower power rating, above neutral)
- Why aren't you trading with me? -2 (conditional: Must be greedy)
AI is more likely to surrender.
Lowered the AI "Too early to surrender" threshold from 10 years of war (40 turns) to 3 years of war.
