Old World December 11th Updated Test Build

[h2]Test Branch 1.0.75342 Test 2024-12-11[/h2]

[h3]Design[/h3]

• Grand Vizier now acts as a governor in cities without a governor and controls production only in those cities. Removed all other Grand Vizier yields
  
• Changes to diplomatic Declare War missions:
  
• Ask to Declare War mission now requires a Leader with the Schemer archetype. Removed mission tech requirement and lowered opinion needed to Cautious
  
• Ask to Join War mission added, where you must already be at war with the target. This requires Pleased opinion
  
• With Ruthless AI enabled, war requests will be denied if the player is close to victory
  
• The Random Improvements option now allows any combination of shrine effects instead of picking a set from a random nation
  
• Removed family preferences from crowning ambitions. Most crowning ambition events now allow three choices of ambition instead of two. Along with some bug fixes this should give a much higher variety of crowning ambitions offered
  
• Launch Offensive can now be used from a unit with a rout cooldown and it removes rout cooldowns from adjacent units
  

[h3]Programming[/h3]

• AI builds fewer duplicate roads
  
• Improved AI retreat vs attack decision making
  
• Disabled implicit subject conversion for DiplomacySubjects bonuses
  
• Hall of Fame games now store the active player so that when you load them the player stays the same
  

[h3]UI[/h3]

• Added minimize toggle to player goals/ambitions display
  
• Inverted red/green warning text in some cases for negative yields
  
• User assigned hotkeys now have more flexibility. Assignments can use previously reserved keys and conflict with non-assignable hotkeys
