v1.2.13 Change List (October 9, 2005)
==================================
Changes 1.10->1.213
--------------------
***************************
* NEW WASTE RULES *
***************************
Waste is now a reduction in the amount of resources produced by provinces a nation controls. Waste is calculated based
on the total number of provinces a player controls; provinces with Court developments at a level greater than or equal to
5 do not contribute toward waste. Waste is 3% per province controlled in excess of twenty provinces; so, for example,
controlling 35 provinces results in a 30% loss of production due to waste: 45% = 3% x (35-20).
Province under protectorate do not contribute toward waste.
Provinces with Culture development levels greater than or equal to 5, and provinces with Courts greater than or equal to
7, are not affected at all by a nation's level of waste.
******************************
* RULE CHANGES *
******************************
Prisoners of War
----------------
* POW's cannot be liberated when they are located in enemy territory.
* POW's no longer require upkeep or support costs.
* POW's do not lose casualties due to foraging
Detailed Combat
---------------
* Light cavalry no longer begins detailed battle fatigued, even when called as reinforcements or when part of an
army/corps that is force-marching. Same rule for lancers. Regular Cavalry no longer enters battle fatigued when called
as reinforcements.
* Skirmishers now have +20% bonus when attacking out of rough terrain (instead of the 1/2 penalty they previously had)
* Halved the chance of capturing an artillery unit in detailed combat; artillery captured after quick combats now have a
50% chance of being destroyed instead of captured.
* Rule change: infantry under charge by cavalry now have a chance to become disordered *before* the charge is resolved.
This only works for infantry in line/column formations. Base chance is 10% for infantry in column, 20% for infantry in
line. This chance is increased by 25%-Infantry Quality*2.5, by 10% per off-axis attack (i.e. +30% when charging from the
rear), and decreased by 15%x the morale bonus of the commander attached to the defending infantry unit. A commander with
the "stand against charge" special ability always reduces this chance to the minimal amount (5%). The chance is halved
if the defender is not in clear terrain.
* Changed retreat behavior in detailed combat: units now simply retreat toward their back line, ignoring any enemy units
altogether.
* Howitzers now do only -12% instead of the -50% of combat damage.
* Howitzers do not suffer any return fire in detailed combat.
Other Rule Changes
------------------
* Now only get 20 horses when a cavalry unit surrenders.
* Raised labor stockpile cap to 150
* Decreased the morale bonus of barracks to .1 per level of barracks
* Moved query for upgrades and empire to end-of-turn (to fix PBEM bug)
* Treaties that involve the Surrender clause will no longer automatically become cancelled when the signatories are at
war. This allows players to offer negotiated surrender terms during a war.
* Can no longer choose protectorate/surrendered units for treaty clauses (such as Lend Unit and Remove Commander).
* Units now lose 1.5 morale when they surrender, but no lower than 1.2 morale. This *CAN* reduce infantry to militia
status and guard to regular infantry status. (Note that the morale loss in detailed combat is not lost until after the
battle is resolved.)
* Reduced build time for high levels of barracks/factories now properly applied to all appropriate unit types, not just
basic infantry/cavalry.
* Can no longer choose provinces that are surrounded by water/same-nation territory in the cede-province clause.
* Nations are automatically set at peace with their revolt units if there are no such units in existence; if there are
units, then the nation is automatically made at war with its revolt.
* Spontaneous new commanders now appear on a sliding chance scale related to the total level of casualties in the battle:
36% for casualties > 30,000; 24% if > 20,000; 12% if >10,000; otherwise 8%.
* Protectorates now get their own feudal levy independently of the protecting-nation's own feudal levy.
* Rule change: Subsidizing now only has 1/4 the normal effect for money given over 60 in any turn.
* Rule change: morale bonus for new ships is now given by barracks level / 20 + docks level / 5.
* Rule change: morale bonus for new artillery is now given by barracks level /20 + factory level / 5.
* Rule change: docks level >=7 now doubles merchant income received at the port by the player owning that port
* Rule change: decreased the labor cost for roads from 4xroad level^2 to 2xroad level^2.
* Rule change: decreased the horse cost of farms from 2xlevel^2 to level^2.
* Rule change: decreased the cost of banks from 5xlevel^2 to 3xlevel^2.
* Military groups (armies, corps, fleets) no longer receive auto-join orders from the cities from which they are created;
this helps prevent such units from being destroyed in enemy territory.
* Increased morale gained by fighting in a battle to .15. There is still only a 50% chance a unit will receive this
bonus. This morale bonus is increased to .30 for units that have lower than 4.0 morale. Any unit with militia-level
morale or lower does not gain morale in this way.
* Diplomat Charm ability now modifies attitude between 1 and 2xInfluence+1.
* Diplomat Goodwill ability now modifies attitude between 1 and Influence+1.
* Regional bonus unit production is now spread throughout the region (rather than all built at capital.)
* Capital of multi-province minors will now automatically move to a liberated province within the minor country if the
current capital is in a province controlled by a nation.
* Players forming a protectorate from a minor power now have the option to adjoin that minor power to a nearby
protectorate of that player's nation.
* Liberate treaty clause now liberates all conquered provinces belonging to the original player of the province specified
to be liberated.
******************************
