Civ4 : Planet Roanoke

0.148e

(Work by Jenks)

• gave probes the flat movement characteristic
• done some work trying to advance the lifeform spreading 'prophets'... unfinished, couldnt find the dendrite building to put as the prereq for cyneid prophet...
• made the cyneid and mutagen units/prophet require the cyneid religion as a prerequisite to building
• roaming psionic energy pulses AI changed to 'Attack' (hopefully more aggressive)
• adjusted pulse dampener to +100% vs other psionic units (now has a bonus against all pulses, including lattice-roaming pulses)
• redistributed the Borg / Cyneid / Mutagen specific units out of the species combat_classes
• added another species-type promotion, 'Native'
• removed the 'native' promotions tree, made all the native units 'psionic' unit combat types with the new native promotion
• introduced Airborne as a unit combat category (added probe / zeppelin)
• introduced Fibersea as a unit combat category (added Fibersea Explorer)
• added a 'Artillery' combat class, its empty at the moment but figured we will have some seige or artillery units at some point
• removed all redundant unit categories (gunpowder / archery / naval / mounted / helicopters etc.)
• tidied up the code spelling-wise so that it always reads CYNEID, I have been commenting on the species as Cyeneid elsewhere as i have been misspelling it!
• changed Vitologist stats again, taken away -ve culture to (4/-1/-2)
• fixed the Seige I, II, III promotions bug for Armored units (they wont accept collateral damage bonuses for some reason on this combat class. seige promotion concept changed to +10% bombardment and +1 first strike per level of I-III)
• fixed the Rover I, II, III promotions for Airborne units (similarly civ wont accept adding withdrawal rate on this combat class. level I now gives 1 first strike chance, II gives +1 visibility, III gives +1 movement) will look into these bugs more ...
• removed Great Person points from the Datalinks so there is (currently) no way to make great people
• removed redundant code for vanilla improvements and worker actions (lumbermill/fallout etc.)
• introduced two python files PyHelpers.py and CvAdvisorUtils.py to remove unwanted 'congratulations on building your first helicopter' popups etc.
• assigned some civ issue icons for the new combat classes
• various XML cosmetic changes (to do with gold - > energy etc.)
• tidying of the civilopedia comments to reflect the changes

(work by ErikG)

• Updated fonts and meshed them with XML files
• Changed screen yield overlay to new iconography
• Added hover image for NH3 resource
