Old World March 12th Updated Test Build

Test Branch 1.0.76797 Test 2025-03-12

Design

National Ambitions:

• The final ambition is now called a National Ambition and may be offered early, after a player has completed 5 ambitions

• The offer is triggered soon after the player reaches 75% progress towards one of the national ambitions

• National Ambitions are not used for tier counting purposes i.e. they do not make regular ambition offers harder

• All National Ambitions are listed in the Encyclopedia under their own category

• Added new National Ambition '+250 Food, Iron, Stone, Wood and Money per turn'. This replaces the previous ambition to stockpile 2000 of each resource

• Added new regular Ambition 'Control 4 Hamlet class improvements'

• Adjusted ambition threshold calculations and ambition events to allow a greater variety of ambitions to be offered

Continent map script changes:

• Continent is now the default map script

• Added new Extreme Terrain suboption 'None' and made this the default

• Tribal Lands placement option removed

Other design changes:

• 7 new events relating to Calamities happening to other players (Wrath of Gods)

• Reduced other religion opinion penalty duration for Venerate mission (Wrath of Gods)

• Increased chance of Scrub appearing on new Arid tiles on Ebbing Sea map from 2% to 10% (Wrath of Gods)

Programming

• Mod manager no longer fully loads installed maps when fetching subscription info

• Unit XP overflow into training uses TRAINING_PER_XP for consistency

• Buildable projects now use a ProductionType such as YIELD_CIVICS. Non-buildable projects do not require this

• iCivics has been renamed to iCost in project.xml

UI

• Popup text minimum scaling reduced

• Can now queue the same tile multiple times without the unit executing the queued moves

• When the last tile in a move queue is right-clicked, the unit executes the queue

• Flipped luxury panel buttons

• Tweaked alignment for scenario-specific goal info

• Archetypes now shown in line of succession panel

• Improvement pings are no longer removed by an occurrence rendering a tile impassable (Wrath of Gods)

• Boosted plague fog visibility (Wrath of Gods)

• Boosted volcano animation speed (Wrath of Gods)
