Test Branch 1.0.78315 Test 2025-06-12

Design

• Cleric family now gets free Divine Rule law on founding

• Cleric seats have double speed Disciples only for State Religion and can only build Christian and Manicheist Disciples without the religion being present

• Tribe-owned units no longer get a strength modifier against other tribes at strong and raging tribe levels

• Regents now become Royal if they usurp the throne or continue ruling after the rightful heir's death

• Persia's Shapur dynasty gets the Found Religion project (Wonders and Dynasties)

• Rising Stars are now less common and ask to become a Grand Vizier less (Behind the Throne)

Programming

• Improved AI valuation of Disciples and Religions

• AI now uses Cleric seat ability to build disciples of non-present religions

• AI checks whether a city can have an effect from resources before building a project that gives that same effect (i.e. Riders Import Horses)

• AI knows to use units that do not require orders when it's out of orders
