PREVIOUS VERSIONS
Version 1.7
Additions:
Babylonian UHV
Hittite UHV
Experimental city plundering: the idea is that you should be able to sack cities without keeping them. Only available to the player. WIP, might remove it later

Changed Temple Economy building modifier to 25%
Increased Sea People strength to 5
Increased amount of Sea People almost everywhere
Removed UHV checks from AI civs
Barbarian archers don't spawn anymore as they just pointlessly wandered around the map anyways

Persia starts with Fortification and Bread Making

Version 1.6
Additions:
Added Elam
	They are intended to boost Persia by building up infrastructure in their core and collapsing before their spawn. Still needs balancing for this to work well.

Buffed:
	Rome:
		Their UU now has 2 movement and 15% city attack instead of 10%
		More starting units

		More starting units
	This makes them expand somewhat better, although they still get trampled by their older neighbors way too often

Fixes:
Removed leader traits as they were quite random and broke a few things (eg no anarchy on some civic changes)
Players' first city can now be founded in enemy territory: Babylon and Sparta can found their capital
Fixed the Hittite core
Fixed Greek civs' languages
Fixed religion buttons
Possibly fixed late-game CtDs (not sure though)

Known issues:
The Hittites no longer collapse by 1000BC because they have a core now
Old civs can still become way too powerful
The mod attempts to spawn units with an extremely high id sometimes (probably doesn't affect anything but I will have to look into it)

Version 0.7 (Spaceman98):
Civs:
Added Bactrian Civilization with a leader, dynamic names, etc.
removed Athens from the Athenian city name list. It gets built in odd places. Same for Rome for the Roman city lists
Rome can now produce units slightly faster
hanged some of Persia’s dynamic names
Remove Socialist names now that they can show up. Replaced them with the names of late dynasties (like the Sassanids and the Kushans)
Carthage no longer becomes a caliphate if it converts to Egyptian mythology

renamed “Nationhood” to “empire”, and make it accessible with the citizenship tech
Made Vassalage available with Aristocracy
Renamed Free Market to Trade (available with Trade)
Renamed State Property to Centralized Coinage (available with Currency)
Made Bureaucracy available with its own tech: Record Keeping, which is also a prereq for Education, that requires mathematics and alphabet

give starting nations technologies for the appropriate starting religions.
Moved drama into the tech tree, make it researchable
Map
Replace Kashgar mountains with land for Bactria
Units:
Make Merchants a national unit (limited to three of them at a time). They are overpowered otherwise
Background Fixes:
Fixed the “tuple index out of range” error associated with the Indus Valley by adding another 0 to the end of tBirths in consts.py. Not sure why this helps, but for some reason it does. Not sure what the consequences would be. They still collapse, which is ok, I guess.
Fixed a tuple index out of range exception related to AI Wars

Version 0.6 (Spaceman98):
Units:
Made Pirates not go on Ocean
Gave triremes and Quinqueremes anti-pirate bonus
Make pirates also require trade.
Added battering ram unit as an early siege weapon, with logging
Merchant unit added. Functions like the great merchant, but its trade mission produces much less gold. I’m not sure if the AI knows how to use them.
Raised the strength of hoplites to 5. If they are suppose to be a technological upgrade of spearmen, then they have to actually be better than spearmen
Terrain Features/Resources
Made jungles passable
Made Jungles chopable with Iron Working
Fixed bug for the paved road
Added olives and pearls and salt resources
Pearl Resources are near: Bahrain (replace a clam), Red Sea, South India, Persia, Algeria (replace a clam)

Added Sheep to Sardinia and Forests to Corsica

Made Socotra smaller
Untrimmed Iberia
Shrunk Isle of Man, Moved Ireland to the South
Moved England West, adjusted it considerably so that its outline is better
Fix British Resources
Improve geography of Wales, added more hills, forests and rivers
Fixed bug: Wine was previously “enabled” by the tyranny tech, which meant that the resource was unobtainable… It is now enabled by the amphora tech, the same one as allows wineries and tabernas
Buildings:
Added trading post, which has the ability of the customs house, and art from the Viking trading post
Add Elder’s Council with storytelling, which gives a small science bonus
Fix the name of the Yazilikaya
Add Taberna building, with amphora and wine, which gives +1 happiness and culture, but -1 health
Fix Olympic park TXT_KEY
Fix Leaning tower TXT_KEY
Fix Flavian Amphitheatre TXT
Barbs and Independents:
Move Yemen City 3 South and 1 East
Give Saana starting archers
Added Libyan barbarian armies to weaken Egypt. Currently, 4 spawn on Monarch level, and this seems to be the optimal number, as Egypt sometimes survives, and is usually overwhelmed. I may want to decrease this later, as I still want Egypt to survive more often than it actually does
Adding Numidian Barbarians to pressure Carthage.
Civs:
Give Rome storytelling at start
The Nubian starting units are now Medjay instead of archers, and there are now 4 of them instead of 3. This should make Nubia harder to steamroll (before, an Egyptian player can take over them in a few turns)

Civilizations: Nubia no longer collapses
Adding Indus Valley Civilization
Better Etruscan LH
Map:
I have expanded the map to fill in the blank areas. This added Ethiopea, Scotland, India and ussless Saharan and Siberian land. The reasons for this is are 1: to give the IVC more room. 2: To give Nubia more room. 3: To make Brittan worth colonizing. 4: For a future Vandal civ or barbs.
The red sea coast is now more fertile.

Gave Hittites Animal Husbandry so it takes longer for barbs to overrun them (they are still overrun, as they historically should be, but they have time to become a threat to the South empires and a player can lead them easier (no chariots against warriors and swordsmen against chariots)
Britan is now one Island

Version 0.1 (Spaceman98):
