Millennia News

• Fixed an issue where anyone playing the game with European style regional formatting (ie, 2,2 vs 2.2), when getting a treaty with decimal values will instead get a zero value treaty.
  

• Implemented new hotseat multiplayer functionality -- this replaces the system previously in place, which has been removed. When hosting, you can now click Invite in the upper right of the Cloud Hotseat UI to see your Steam Friends List and select a friend to invite. (You can also invite a friend by right clicking and selecting Invite to Game through the Steam Overlay.) If your friend is also running Millennia, not in and active lobby, and not loaded into a game already, they will receive a pop-up invite. Alternately, you can invite players who are not in your Friends List by sharing the Game ID displayed on the left of the Cloud Hotseat UI. Invited players then join the game by selecting Join and using the ID provided to them by the host.
  
• Added additional indications of growing Unrest. Icons now appear below the Capital City nameplates to call attention to growing unrest in the Region.
  

• Added display of “exhausted” Units in the Outliner. When Units have no remaining Movement for the turn, their icon appears dimmed.
  

• When enemy Units move inside your territory, a warning of their presence now appears in the Outliner (exclamation point). (This is shown if you are not already Under Siege.)
  

• Added a key remapping system. This is available in the Controls tab of Options.
  

• Expanded the Nation Builder. Functionality has been added that allows the removal of player-made Nations from within the Nation Builder. Additionally, it is now possible to modify most aspects of existing custom Nations from the Nation Builder. Flag selection has been changed to a grid display.
  

• Revised Improvement tooltips. These now include better information for where Improvements can be built and what they produce.
  

• Added Canada as a new default Nation (default Personality is Cooperative and default Starting Bonus is Scout Unit).
  

• All Outpost Improvements except for Trade Post and Trade Factory have a limit of three per Outpost.
  
• Colony Outpost Specialization now provides +2 Culture (as opposed to +2 Trade Goods which are worth +2 Culture).
  
• Replaced the Culture bonus and gather from Castle Town Improvements with +3 Wealth and +1 Wheat.
  
• Limited the Mercenary Training Camp to Colony Outposts only.
  
• Made some tweaks intended to make it easier to meet Faith Needs in new Regions when you have a Religion; the base Capital bonus of the Fundamentalist Government provides 2 Faith, increased the amount of Faith provided by a Temple to 2, reduced the cost of constructing a Holy Site from 160 to 140 Production.
  
• Reduced the number of Monuments needed to trigger Age of Monuments from 3 to 2.
  
• Changed Shells (the Ideal) from Early Seafarers to be additive; instead of replacing Fish Goods, you keep existing Fish and gain additional Shells (the Good).
  
• The Tyrian Purple Ideal in Early Seafarers swapped places with Lighthouses, making it available earlier.
  
• Reduced the Hunting Grounds Ideal in Wild Hunters so that Bow Hunters are Crossbow equivalent instead of stronger.
  
• Increased Stonecutter Improvement output from 1 Stone -> 1 Stone Blocks to 2 -> 2.
  
• Narrowed the Victors Ideal of Raiders to affect only Raiders instead of all pre-gunpowder Units.
  
• Increased value of Mead from 2 Food to 5.
  
• Changed Castle Town Improvement terrain requirement from open terrain to grassland.
  
• Updated Tapestry Weaver to take in Cloth or Textiles, instead of only Cloth.

• Updated Tinker Improvement to convert Ingots into Machines instead of Tools.
  
• Increased Machines consumed IP value from 4 -> 5.
  
• The Crusaders Headquarters now gives all Knight Units a +5 Defense buff in addition to x2 Attack bonus against Religious Heretics.

• Trade Posts can now be upgraded to Trade Factories within Castles.
  
• Added a new Event that is used if a revolt would cause you to lose your only remaining Region.
  
• Changed the victory condition of Old Ones to having 50% of the global population and eliminating a third of the remaining Nations (the intent is to shorten the time between when a Nation has effectively won this Age and when Victory is declared).
  
• Previously, any Unit (other than your own) within your borders would raise Unrest. This was changed so that only enemy Units within your borders increase Unrest.
  
• Temples now start to generate Faith after a Religion is adopted.
  
• Now reset Expedition chances after failing an Expedition.
  
• Firing the Archangel space laser at another Nation is now considered an act of war.
  
• Envoys no longer need to move next to a Capital to open negotiations; they can use their relevant abilities from anywhere inside another Nation’s borders.
  
• Eliminated Nations are no longer counted in some calculations (for example, Global Cooperation providing Social Fabric Tolerance per allied Nation).
  
• The Allow Custom Nations in Random option in singleplayer games now allows Custom Nations to be explicitly picked, but not randomly picked in various contexts.
  

• When unchecked:
  
  • Custom Nations should not be chosen for AI players.
    
  • Custom Nations can be picked from the dropdown.
    
  • Custom Nations should not be randomly picked for any player set to Random.
    
• When checked:
  
  • Custom Nations can be chosen for AI players.
    
  • Custom Nations can be picked from the dropdown.
    
  • Custom Nations can be randomly picked for any player set to Random.
    
• In all cases:
  
  • Randomly picked Nations will check for flag conflicts with all previously picked Nations.
    
  • In a multiplayer lobby, Custom Nations will not be picked randomly nor will they be in the dropdown for any player.
    

• Adjusted AI to more frequently make decisions that avoid steering into Age of Plague.
  
• Improved AI’s handling of Vassals. Vassals now properly consider the Goods they would produce if they were a Region when deciding what Improvements they should build.
  
• AI players and Vassals are more likely to build an Improvement on a tile that provides it bonus goods than on tiles that do not (e.g. putting Farms on Wheat tiles)
  

• Replaced prior Cloud Hotseat multiplayer UI and information with content for the new system.
  

• Adjusted the UI used for “mega projects” to provide a better indication of rewards. (Without this, some of the options in Space Race appear to flat-out negatives.)
  
• Added a new maximum member count slider to options. This is an option for performance that allows adjustment of the number of individual models used to represent a Unit on the map or in the Combat Viewer. (This is visual only and the setting has no impact on gameplay.)
  
• Updated Infopedia and tooltips related to Regional Efficiency to clarify that it does not affect Goods.
  
• Updated the tooltips for numerous Ideals to clarify which Building Upgrade Line they apply to.

• Expanded Infopedia for Quests.
  
• Added additional information to tooltips and Infopedia entries on Hero, Berserker, Corrupted AI Core, Colony Ship Launch Pad, Archangel Satellite Array, City Shield, Alien Mothership, Alien Invader (land and water), Riot Police, Aether Harvester, Aether Refinery, Alchemist, Conquistador, Monument, and Plague Doctor to clarify their use.
  
• Added Diplomacy status to the Diplomacy tooltip.
  

• Added display of map name and size to the display of map seed.

• Revised From Each, Their Ability and To Each, Their Need Ideals and related Ideology tooltip information.

• Made references to “Capitals” or “Regional Capitals” consistent throughout.
  
• Adjusted where the tooltip on the “Next” button in the bottom right displays (this was getting in the way for some players).
  

• Fixed the Temple Building not being affected by the Theologians Ideal from Divine Inspiration (which affects other buildings in the same building line already).
  
• Fixed missing text issue for tooltips for Goods tiles, revealed by recent tooltip improvements.
  
• Fixed a text overflowing with very long player names in the Cloud Hotseat UI.
  
• Fixed Internal Combustion Fuel and Agnosticism Innovations having no tooltip.
  
• Fixed Events in Age of Monuments that could trigger under bad conditions (like lost progress on a Super Monument after it had been completed).
  
• Fixed an issue with Explorers’ Guild going up when Expeditions are failed.
  
• Fixed an issue with certain buildings unlocked by Governments or National Spirits not appearing in the Infopedia.
  
• Fixed Oath of Fealty to affect underwater Regions in Age of Utopia.
  
• Fixed a number of incorrect Swedish city and town names.
  
• Updated movement logic and pathing visualization to fix a number of issues, including incorrect presentation of air attack range, units excluded from showing attack range in certain diplomatic conditions, Envoys showing invalid attack and expel icons, air Units showing incorrect targets for attack, Envoys being able to target other Envoys, and naval Units not showing land attacks correctly.
  
• Found and fixed an issue with AI Nations not correctly receiving and using Chaos and Innovation Events.
  
• Found and fixed an issue with the targeting system (the way things like Events are or Diplomatic Actions are directed at a particular Nation).
  
• Found and fixed an error where loading saves could cause issues with random values; the RNG stream should now be more consistent across save / load boundaries.
  
• Corrected Merchant tooltip to specify that the Unit is deployed to improve Vassal Prosperity.
  
• Fixed the progress message in Age of Monuments showing many decimal places.
  
• Fixed Alien Invader Navy having incorrect tooltip.

• Fixed a scenario where “undo” did not work properly.
  
• Fixed splinter Nations not showing on the minimap.
  
• Tooltip with diplomacy breakdown for a Nation now shows on the main Diplomacy UI (instead of having to select a specific Nation first).
  
• Fixed some situations that could cause buff durations to show as “-1.”
  
• Fixed an issue where small islands map could cause graphical corruption.
  
• We corrected an issue with the AI players and Chaos and Innovation cards -- this is good. However, this created a scenario where multiple AIs could get the Barbarian Resurgence Chaos Event at around the same time, which occasionally produced a large number of Barbarian Warlords visiting player Regions – this is bad. This Event has been disabled for now. (If you are restoring a save in Age 3, you could still have this Event.)
  
• We found some issues with multi-turn movement (in particular, related to multi-turn movement, undo, and transports). This has been fixed.
  
• Fixed the Infopedia link for Printing Press.
  

• Added a way for players to destroy their Vassals. The option appears when the Vassal is selected and causes some Chaos when used. This cannot be used on Vassals that are the birthplace of a Religion.
  
• Added new options for the Combat Viewer. In Options, under the Game tab, the “Show Combat Viewer” dropdown presents options for Always, As An Alert, or Never. These change what is shown in the Combat Viewer when you attack. When set to Always (the default), the Combat Viewer continues to operate as it has been. When set to As An Alert, combat will not show the Combat Viewer when you attack, but will cause an alert to appear in the world and on the right (and clicking the alert will jump to the Combat Viewer). When set to Never, neither the Combat Viewer nor an alert is shown when you attack.
  
• Added a checkbox option for Auto-Skip Combat Animation in the Options menu. When checked, this causes any Combat Viewer combat shown to immediately skip to the end of the combat.
  
• Reworked the Reinforcements and Forced March Warfare Domain Powers. Previously, Reinforcements would cause a loss of Veterancy and Forced March would cause a loss of HP. Both of these penalties have been removed. In their place, Reinforcements and Forced March now apply a -10% to the Attack and Defense values of all Units in the targeted Army when used. The debuff lasts for two turns and an Army can have one of each (one from using Reinforcements and one from using Forced March). Using either power again while a debuff is already in place refreshes the duration of the debuff.
  
• Scaling costs are now capped to the maximum inventory amount (400). This means that costs will no longer scale above the typical maximum amount of a resource you could possess. Vassal Integration costs have been similarly capped. This makes a number of things possible, the most obvious being that it removes what was effectively a hard cap on the number of possible Regions.
  
• Related, we made an overall balance pass on Vassal Integration cost, Culture Upkeep cost, and Unrest suppression (since these are all factors influenced by number of Regions):
  

• Adjusted the Opportunist Ideal from Spice Merchants, which allows Merchants and Settlers to convert to one or the other. Increased the cost of converting to a Settler from 15 to 30 Government XP. Increased the cost of converting to a Merchant from 15 to 24 Government XP.
  
• Changed use of the Opportunist Unit Ability to not scale other Power costs (converting a Merchant to a Settler used to reduce the Spawn Merchant Power cost and increase the Spawn Settler Power cost).
  
• Local Reforms was providing a 50% Regional Efficiency buff for 5 turns, now provides a 25% buff for 8 turns.
  
• Increased value of Tapestry Good from 1 Arts XP to 2.
  
• Completed a pass on buildings unlocked by Innovation Events, upgrading some of their bonuses (the other values provided by these buildings are unchanged):
  

• Reworked calculations used for Treaty value. Projects, other Treaties, and market purchases are no longer factored in determining the value of a Treaty. Additionally, the amount the larger partner in a Treaty can contribute to the calculation is now capped at 2x the value of the smaller partner. So, for example, if you have 100 Knowledge income and you make a Treaty with a Nation earning 10 Knowledge income, you’ll contribute 20 and they’ll contribute 10 for and average value of 15 Knowledge from the Treaty. Note that this is not the amount you would get in this case, there is still an efficiency factor involved, but it is the most you could possibly get.
  
• Jackal Guard movement reduced from 30 to 20.
  
• Jackal Guard adjusted from 19 / 28 to 15 / 23 Attack and Defense.
  
• Jackal Guard trades 2x attack vs. Cavalry Combat Mod for 1.5x Defense when guarding a City.
  
• Increased all Leader Unit speeds to match general movement speed of other Units in their era.
  
• Increased anti-ship line Unit movement speeds (Scorpion Boat 30 -> 50, Nautilus 30 -> 60, Submarine 40 -> 70, Robot Submarine 40 -> 70, Drone Submarine 40 -> 70, Photon Submarine 40 -> 70, AI Submarine 40 -> 70).
  
• Changed Hydrothermal Generator from providing 4 Power to producing 1 Energy Good.
  
• Increased Wealth value of Shells from 3 to 6.
  
• Increased Wealth value of Dye from 6 to 12.
  
• Increased Collective Farm cost from 53 to 75 IP.
  
• The Pyramid Temple Improvement can now be worked for 6 Faith.
  
• Upkeep of Knight increased from 4 to 5.
  
• Reviewed Improvement upgrade lines based on feedback:
  

• Made a pass at adjusting some elements of Diplomacy:
  

• Transports now show the Unit they are transporting.
  
• Tooltip for Transports now shows health of Unit being transported.
  
• Unlocking SETI Scan now disables Eureka (as there is no reason not to use SETI Scan and using Eureka was unintentionally making SETI Scan worse).
  
• Scholars bonus now applies to SETI Scan.
  
• SETI Scan Event now only happens in Age of Rocketry.
  
• Removed the confirmation pop-up for Cleanse Outbreak so you don’t see that infinity times during Age of Plague.
  
• Removed the Truce Culture Power from Age of Conquest.
  
• Archangel laser can now target Vassals.
  
• The Raise Tribal Army Ideal now spawns a Warband when the Ideal is unlocked.
  
• Know the Terrain, from the Naturalists National Spirit, now applies to all pre-gunpowder Units instead of just Warbands.
  
• You can no longer Bribe Aliens.
  
• Changed Trade Posts and Trade Factories to be buildable in Castle Outposts.
  
• Enemies like the cultists and alien invaders now display unique flags. Added new flags for these.
  
• Previously, there was no benefit to having a landmark in your territory. Landmarks were changed to provide a baseline +1 Culture per turn when within your borders. Beyond the base +1 Culture, Landmarks in your territory provide an additional bonus depending on the Landmark (note that you cannot see what you will get from having a Landmark in your territory yet and the effects are still difficult to see after it is in your territory – it’s on the list):
  

• Arquebus Unit now unlocks with Holy Order in Intolerance and Deference in Discovery.
  
• Bomb Vessel now unlocks with Open Sailing in Discovery.
  
• The Mechanical Knight (Discovery) and the Holy Avenger (Intolerance) are now in the “Shock” upgrade line, meaning they can upgrade from Knights and to Cuirassiers, for example.
  
• The Berserker (Blood) and Damascus Sword (Age 3 Innovation) are now in the “Assault” upgrade line, meaning they can upgrade to Longsword, for example.
  
• The Legionnaire (Conquest) is now in the “Guard” upgrade line, meaning it can upgrade from Guards and to National Guards, for example.
  
• Warehouses now also unlock in Intolerance by default.
  
• The Open Markets Ideal from Republic now targets Warehouses (Renaissance, Intolerance) and Trade Companies (Discovery).

• Reworked City, Outpost, and Town placement formulas used by the AI. AI players are better at spacing out their Capital Cities and are less likely to place Capitals or Outposts close to the borders of other Nations if other quality spots are available. At higher difficulties and with the less friendly AI personalities, the AI will still place close to another Nation’s borders.
  
• AI places higher priority on building the Colony Ship in Age of Departure.
  

• Expeditions now show that they have been completed on the nameplate for the Landmark.

Previously, the baseline Upkeep curve was linear, based on the Age when a Unit was introduced – that is, a Unit unlocked in Age 5 typically had an Upkeep of 5 (there are Units that don’t follow this pattern, but this was the baseline). The Upkeep curve remains the same for Units of Ages 1 to 3 but is now based on a non-linear curve for Units starting in Age 4. The adjusted base curve is now:
  
  Age 1 Units – 1 Upkeep
  Age 2 Units – 2 Upkeep
  Age 3 Units – 3 Upkeep
  Age 4 Units – 5 Upkeep
  Age 5 Units – 7 Upkeep
  Age 6 Units – 9 Upkeep
  Age 7 Units – 10 Upkeep
  Age 8 Units – 12 Upkeep
  Age 9 Units – 14 Upkeep
  Age 10 Units – 16 Upkeep
  
  
• Increased the Upkeep cost of Mercenaries from 24 to 40 and Privateers from 20 to 40. These Units, from the Age 6 Mercenaries National Spirit, are intended to have a substantial Upkeep that makes you want to disband them when they aren’t needed.
  
• Changed the Spawn Mercenaries Power from the Age 6 Mercenaries National Spirit to not scale in cost when used (it remains at 20 War XP per use).
  
• Capped the value of Compound Interest from the Age 8 Banking National Spirit at 500 per turn.
  
• Changed Ingenious Monuments in the Transcendence Victory Age from providing 1 Ingenuity per 10 Improvements to providing 1 Ingenuity per 100 Improvements.
  
• Changed Utopian Welfare in the Transcendence Victory Age from providing 1 Organization Social Fabric per 25 Population to 1 Organization Social Fabric per 75 Population.
  
• Theater now generates 5 Wealth (in addition to 1 Arts XP it previously provided).
  
• The Unification Tech in Age of Conquest (Age 5) generates Warfare XP per Vassal Population multiplied by Vassal Prosperity. The base value for this was 1 Warfare XP per Vassal Population, it has been changed to .0625 Warfare XP per Vassal Population.
  

• When an AI player unlocked Deforestation (Age 9), it was disabling Clear Cut (Age 5) for all other players – fixed.
  
• Updated the Sahara Expedition (it was possible to be unable to choose any of the options presented).
  
• The Age 4 and 5 Rival to the Throne and Anticolonials Events now spawn Rebels instead of Barbarians.
  
• Some Domain and Culture Powers unlocked by National Spirits were set to expire after a certain Age. This was intended to prevent outdated Powers, like using Warrior Elite’s Spawn Spartans in late Age games. In practice, player feedback frequently mentioned confusion at losing the Powers, so we disabled the expiration on all Domain and Culture Powers derived from National Spirits.
  
• The Address Grievance and Non-Violent Protest Powers, from the Age 8 Age of Dystopia, no longer have expirations, allowing them to be used to deal with remaining riots after exiting the Age.
  
• Changed Photon Tanks and Elite Heavies from Age 9 Age of Visitors to have upgrade lines (thanks, @RedDeath).
  

• Fixed an issue that was frequently causing AI players to delay founding new Religions until Age 5.
  
• Made AI players more likely to found a new Religion when there are few already established.
  
• AI players who have chosen the Theologian or Crusader National Spirits but do not already have a religion will choose to found one.

• Updated animation on the Knight Unit’s idle.
  

• Fixed Cloud Hotseat behavior if an upload to the cloud fails and you had to repeat the turn. Now, if an upload fails, when returning to the Cloud Hotseat games list, you will see an Upload button in the UI for that game. Clicking on the Upload button will attempt the upload to the cloud again. You can try until the upload is successful and then the game can continue.
  
• Added details in the Cloud Hotseat menu to step through troubleshooting (currently only in English).
  
• Fixed an issue in cloud hotseat where turn text would appear twice.
  
• Fixed an issue with Unit skins not displaying correctly for players in multiplayer games.
  
• Fixed an issue with incorrect text appearing when a multiplayer save was deleted.
  

• Fixed an issue with Needs calculations in Cities with Regional Efficiency Modifiers producing incorrect values in the sim. This could produce situations where, for example, you were 100% meeting Sanitation Need but the Plague Crisis was still increasing or where your Capital claimed population was growing but the actual population of the Capital decreased.
  
• When the nameplate for a Capital City appeared over a Goods icon, the Goods icon was prioritized, so you’d get a tooltip for the Good instead of the City – adjusted this to give the nameplate priority.
  
• Fixed an issue causing a missing letter for players in Türkiye (or any players with Turkish region settings in Windows).
  
• Corrected description of Cultural Excellence.

Разработчикам глобальных 4X-стратегий нужно очень постараться, чтобы удивить игроков. Сказывается консервативность жанра, которая оставляет мало пространство для маневров. Серьезным исключением является разве что серия Total War.
