Old World December 3rd Updated Test Build

Test Branch 1.0.81020 Test 2025-12-03

Design

• Added Point Symmetry option to MP setup when Mirror Map option is selected. This enables radial mirroring around the map's midpoint, producing a layout symmetric in all directions from the center. Players will start in opposite corners of the map.

• Added event for when AI forfeits a city site due to player having attacked the camp more

Programming

• AI avoids building Wonders in border cities, and especially in cities that are in danger of being captured

• AI uses disciples to build religious improvements before further spreading the religion, if possible

• Pathfinder prefers to keep units hidden, have them occupy good defensive terrain, and avoid marsh, all else being equal

• Added support for local storage for persistent scenario data

UI

• All Improvements filter shows all non-wonder improvements that can ever be built

• Removed crit chance from attack preview window when not applicable (i.e. attacking cities)

• Clicking cities listed for a selected luxury pans to city center

• Dead character portraits faded in Characters tab

• Trashed bonus cards faded in tech tree

• Non-improvement yield lost when building an improvement on a resource now shown on tooltip (with Advanced Help Text active)

• Leader General control immunity bonus no longer shown in archetype helptext, merged with extra movement unit effect

• Leading and trailing whitespace characters are now removed from manually entered player online IDs

• Help text for multiple traits from a bonus now properly takes fallbacks into account

• Renamed terrain target of Volcanoes or Mountains (Jerwan requirement) from "Mountains" to "Peaks"

• Actions panel now hidden when it would otherwise be empty

• DLC name shown in parentheses in dropdowns for map scripts

• Included map scripts shown on DLC Mechanics page in Encyclopedia

• Hid some redundant-looking missions in Encyclopedia

• Mod Browser UI is refreshed once workshop mod list is retrieved
