Small change (in many places) to code comment format to prepare for Doxygen documentation
Reorganized GlobalDefinesAlt.xml
Bugfix
- Fixed bug in AI valuation of techs which enable their favorite religion
City AI
- AI now will not build workers in pop 1 capital at start of game
- Higher production/population cities will fill more of worker need
- Inland cities will now produce settlers to support colonization of other continents/islands
- AI now considers value of mine/lumbermill + railroad when picking tile improvements whether railroad is in place or not
Diplomacy AI
- AI less likely to vote for/propose votes for peace if it's in an early/evenly matched war
- AI vote for/proposing votes for city exchange now based on teams, not players
- Added AI logic so that it will more correctly consider whether to accept human players as vassals in mods that allow that
War Strategy AI
- AI will now consider starting additional wars if it has huge power advantage over current target
- AI will now end wars which have been going on for a while but there has been no fighting and it has no plans
- AI now considers current would-be-enemy power when switching WARPLAN from PREPARING_TOTAL to TOTAL
- When outgunned in an area, AI more readily adopts defensive strategy
- Fixed issue where AI would not declare war on capital area enemy because it didn't have large enough attack force in shared colony areas
War Tactics AI
- Exposed several magic numbers for when the AI decides to attack/bombard cities in GlobalDefinesAlt.xml
- Fixed issue where attack city stacks would sometimes waste time by moving together to a staging city before merging
Espionage AI
- Unified decisions on what missions AI spies will run based on attitude and warplans
- On Aggressive AI, AI spies will now go after rivals civ is pleased towards
- Spies now move before other units (so revolt city can have an effect)
- Spies positioned in enemy cities will now cause revolts to lower defenses when attackers are in position
- Greatly reduced AI spies pillaging random improvements
- AI spies will now go after bonus tiles, very rarely target non-bonus improvements
- Spies now will move to and wait in cities which AI is targetting for conquest
- Added consideration to have spies pick different target cities/plots
- AI now will more likely steal enemy treasury if itself or enemy is in financial trouble
- AI will now consider using unhappiness mission in cities close to happy cap, not only those already over it
- Spies will now steal techs more often when AI is behind in tech, including stealing techs from friends when necessary
- Fixed issue blocking AI from using the steal treasury spy mission
- Poison city mission now valued based on producing food shortages, not just producing unhealthiness
Missionary AI
- AI will now build missionaries to push holy city religions when in free religion
- AI now gives higher weight to building non-state religion missionaries for any holy city religions is has, especially with a shrine
- Improved AI decisions on when to build missionaries
Tech AI
- Added new function AI_techValue, moved existing tech valuation code there
General AI
- AI now values gifted units much more highly, in line with other gifts
- Gifted obsolete or non-combat units are not valued as highly as current combat units
AI Logging
- Added logging system for easily tracking AI decision making (requires Release or Debug build)
CIV4GameInfoSchema
- New era tech cost modifier field no longer required, will be set to 0 for all era for mods that don't specify them instead of failing to load XML
