Minor Quests

Two new quests added: Barbarian Hordes and City-State Rebellion

Barbarian Horde:can only occur during the Ancient-Renaissance eras. Wealthy, high-population City-States have a chance to spawn this global quest, which lasts 20 turns. During this period, barbarian units will spawn in the city-state's territory, pillaging and assaulting the city at will. If the barbarian units threatening the city-state are not eliminated by the end of the 20-turn period, the barbarians capture the city-state and it becomes hostile to all players until liberated. There is no reward for completing the quest successfully, however players do receive 12 Influence points for every Barbarian killed in the City-State's territory.
City-State Rebellion: functions similarly to the Barbarian Horde quest, but can only occur if the City-State ally's empire is unhappy. If the value of unhappiness exceeds the alliance value of the city-state, the city-state may revolt. If rebels remain in the city-state's territory after 20 turns, the city-state breaks its alliance with the player, and, if influenced by an ideology, gain influence with players that share the influencing ideology.

Most minor civ quests now incur negative penalties for the players that do not complete them. These penalties are equal to half the quest's value to the player that completed it successfully. This increases the importance of completing city-state quests!

Slight tweaks to Minor civ quest performance and stability.

Settlers, Pioneers and Colonists

Two new settler upgrades are now available: the Pioneer and the Colonist.
The Pioneer: Available at Compass, cities founded by the Pioneer start with 3 population, 3 claimed tiles and 7 possible buildings (Granary, Barracks, Water Mill, Library, Monument, Shrine, Market)

The Conquistador UU has the Pioneer's ability
Venice forbidden from building these new units, and America receives a free Pioneer when it researches Compass (Trait).

AI Performance

General Modifications to AI's FLAVOR_DIPLOMACY values to encourage competitive CS play.

AI values Paper much more than other Strategic Resources

AI values for World Congress adjusted based on new bonuses, and old resolutions given a balance pass.
Modifications made to AI preference for overseas City-States (if they have ocean embark) to encourage island CS alliance.

AI will consider past friendship, religion, ideology and current WC resolutions when evaluating warmonger penalties against other players. If you share an ideology and/or a religion with a player, they will be much more likely to overlook warmongering (the reverse, however, is also true!)

AI Difficulty methodology revised:

I've set the AI's default handicap values to be more in line with the 'Prince' setting (i.e. no starting advantages over the player), to bring their base values in-line with the player's. The biggest change here, however, is that I've increased the % decrease of the AI's values per era (i.e. the AI gets better and better, statistically, as the game goes along).

So, if the AI's unit/building cost starts out at 100%, on Emperor difficulty it will drop by 5% every era. By the information era (value of 7), the AI's buildings will only cost them 65% of their actual cost.

To offset these nerfs, and to augment the latter change, when an AI reaches a new era, it gets a set of instant bonuses designed to give it a 'mini-boost' at fairly regular intervals:

The AI gets a lump sum of gold every era, scaled to the era (100 x era x CSD difficulty multiplier (2 on Emperor) ).
The same applied to Culture and Golden Age points (40 x era x CSD difficulty multiplier (2 on Emperor) ).
The AI gets a boost to its current research (or overflow) based on its current research-per-turn (essentially, it gets a smaller version of the GS beaker 'pop' every era) (boost equals the amount of science the AI has produced over x turns, with x = Current era + CSD difficulty multiplier (2 on Emperor) ).
The AI gets 1+ military units, instantly, for free, every era (1 on King, 2 on Emperor, etc.)
In the Medieval and Industrial eras, the AI gets a free worker
In the Classical and Renaissance eras, the AI gets a free scout
The AI gets a set amount of unmodded (i.e. not locked to population) happiness in its capital every era. (based on multiplier)

The Difficulty option can be disabled in the Options.sql file.

WC Resolutions

Three new resolutions: Cold War, United Nations, Casus Belli

Cold War: Ideological differences have pushed the world into a cold war, and economic and political factions are forming based on ideology alone.

Warmonger penalties for capturing cities and declaring war are greatly reduced, and Warmonger scores decay much more rapidly than normal. Cannot be active while Global Peace Accords is active.
