September 20th Updated Test Build

The test branch has been updated and is now version 1.0.68735 Test 09/20/2023

Design

• Commander leaders now get +100% bonus attack strength while Flanking (up from +50%)
  
• City Site ownership is now determined first by who has a military unit on the tile (in the case of an ally)
  
• Event options with the chance to gain 1 delayed trait now get offered as a fallback rating if the trait is invalid.
  
• Non-allied tribe settlements that are not on city sites no longer get absorbed into a nation by border expansion
  

Programming

• Games in the completed folder no longer include replay data
  
• Adjacent effectUnit refactor
  

UI

• The location of initial city improvements (Garrison, Fair) can be specified by using the relevant improvement ping on a valid urban tile. This replaces the old system of ctrl+clicking the preferred tile.

• Leader selection screen now uses multiple rows instead of scroll arrows
  
• Peace mission now shows tooltip explaining mission is disabled when one nation has not met the other
