converting unit was killed the turn before.
Fixed: The AI does not try to disband settlers anymore.
Fixed: After a reload, the correct strategy is loaded for the AI.

not waste ressources to fullfil its tasks.

has been seen by a spy.
Fixed: The AI uses the nearest unit as rally point for rallying troops. This
way the AI does not get distracted.

even so they are not used. This prevents the AI from assigning those
armies to other tasks, so that the original task can still be
fullfilled.

is a stealth goal.
Fixed: The AI does not move ships before all passangers are on board.

been added and then removed.
Changed: The AI waits with building wonders until it has four cities or no
space for more cities.

enemy health, and new combat have been enabled by default. The

but on another side of a strait the AI has access to.
Changed: The AI does not try to use its transporters as attackers, so that
their goal does not fail.
Fixed: The AI recalculates the needed numbers of transporters for it goals
after a process match cycle, this prevents the goal from failing.
Fixed: The AI continues on a goal even after grouping in a city.
Fixed: Fixed city support cost calculation.
Added: Added /beginscheduler command to the chat window. This way the AI
unit movement can be tested without waiting on the other AIs.
Fixed: When the AI steps on an invisible unit it is revealed to the AI so
the Ai can bypass this unit or kill it.
Fixed: Fixed the AI desire war calculation.
Fixed: If a slave raid fails, because the slaver has not enough movement

picking those first that are closest to most of its units.
Fixed: Upgraded units get room for cargo if the original unit had no cargo
and the upgraded unit should be able to carry cargo.

Fixed: The AI uses transporters even if a target is on the same continet
but cannot reached, because for instance the way is blocked.
Fixed: The AI conqueres cities if it has a big stack adjacent to that city
representing 2/3 of the needed power. This is no problem since the
needed power is calculated with some buffer.
Changed: The AI gives for conquest higher priority to cities that have a land
connection to the existing AI empire.
Changed: The AI gives for conquest higher priority to cities of empires with
less than three cities.
Fixed: The minimap shows the diplomatic relationships correctly even if you
recenter the minimeap.
Changed: The AI prioritizes for conquest cities of its weakest enemy.


2010-02-28

anymore.
Fixed: If a unit gained a health bonus from a wonder and the wonder is lost
the unit's health is reduced to the health without wonder.

army pair that are closest to each other, this way the AI sticks to its

Fixed: Cell unit strength computation was fixed so that the AI knows how
much units it needs to conquer your cities.
Changed: The empire manager now shows the actual numbers used for rations and

than attack) to attack the front line units of the attacking army.
Changed: Units with defense > 0 but attack = 0 no longer die immediately, and
will at least defend themselves. If New Combat rule is enabled they
will also counter-attack in a battle. Only an army that contains units
all with attack = 0 and defense = 0 will die immediately.

This removes the exploit of making a full army of active-defender's
waste their active defense on one unit.

after an active defender has fired, this removes the big disadvantage
of being the defender, and it was very cheesy to look at.

"CanAttack" flag (Cyber Ninja for example).

below it.
Changed: No units can be expelled from a tile anymore if there is at least one
unit that cannot be expelled.
Fixed: The AI uses any units inside a newly founded city for garrison.
Changed: The AI uses less units for city garrison for the higher higher
defense levels. This is closer to the original game.

carries stealth units.
Fixed: If you click on a hidden enemy stealth unit or on another kind of
unit or city inside the fog of war your units or cities will

the of the GUI repainting speed, which just makes the player tired.
Fixed: The AI now uses the right settle city bounding rectangle for settling.
Changed: The AI only considers a city in its goal assignment as unexplored if
no tile improvement is visible. That is the same way as a human player
behaves, since if he sees a tile improvement without a city then he
concludes it must be in the dark.

has to be enabled before the game start from special rules screen.
The upgrade command button is only visible if an army is active
that contains an upgradable unit.
Fixed: The AI does rebuild its capitol if it has lost its capitol.

player number that was used by a civilization killed previously.
Fixed: A crash while the game checked whether a unit can settle.

if it has not enough units when the units were already moved, it now
does not send its units to those goals at all.
Changed: The AI now considers all goals on the base of nearby units.
Changed: The AI uses an algorithm for rallying troops that works.

when they become available.
Fixed: A bug that prevented the AI from attacking.

but at least they work now as expected.

algorithm.

All in the TerrainImprovementDB.

left from completion.
Added: A user interface option: Enables you to view cost and effect of all known tile
improvements, even if you are short on PW. To activate this option, you have to edit
userprofile.txt and set ShowExpensive to Yes.
(Well has to be added, if the game does not do it automatically.)
There is no in-game screen to modify this setting (not yet).
Fixed: AI-AI-Diplomacy actually happen now.
Added: Two new flags for the TerrainDB to allow modders to customize the graphics for
goody huts, this modification allows the modder to define for each terrain a
different hut graphic, for example you could have glacier like style huts for icy
terrains or a dessert or oasis like ruin/hut for desserts and so on. The new flags
in the TerrainDB are optional if both of these flags are missing or just one of them
a default image is used, like it is in the original CTP2. The terrain.txt here is a
modified version, I replaced some of the ruins graphics with another graphic that is
part of the tile file already. This terrain.txt is meant as a base for discussion,
so far it just demonstrated that it does work.
Added: The maximum city size that you can create with the scenario editor is now 999.

Fixed: Do not overwrite the user's leader name with the default civilisation-dependent
name when there is no reason to.
Fixed: Do not trigger a disaster warning when there is no pollution at all.
Fixed: Some Hotseat issues with hiding information between players.
Implemented: SLIC functions GetRoundsToNextDisaster and GetCurrentPollutionLevel.
Added: Close message boxes automatically when clicking the eyepoint.
A line CloseOnEyepoint=No will be added to userprofile.txt when you start a game with
the modified source. You have to change No to Yes to activate this option.
There is no in-game screen to change this setting.
