Indeed so. Nevertheless, if you have a minute or two:-), here for comment is
a list of bullet points for the release notes (and BTW, nice work with the
disasters, some of them really hurt).
- bugs:
>80 bugs fixed.
- colony names (freecol ruleset):
The colony names have been revised for accuracy and chronological order,
contributed by izzieliu.
- disasters:
Colonies are subject to natural disasters.
- European trade:
Trading of goods with other European nations should be working again.
- intervention force:
A foreign power may intervene and aid you against the REF.
- map reveal:
The map is fully revealed on independence, as in Col1.
- native anger:
Native settlements now have a `most hated nation', visible in the
various popups, reports and the `!' chip by the settlement name.
- native trade:
An option has been added to allow trading with empty carrier units.
- path finding:
The path finding code has been reworked, and should now find the
fastest path in more cases.
- peace:
The monarch now sometimes declares peace.
- ship names:
Ships now have names by default. Historic ship name list contributed
by izzieliu.
- AI:
- Following the path finding rewrite, most AI actions have been
reworked and are now more robust and efficient, fixing many
long standing bugs. This was a lot of work (the main reason
for the long release cycle), much of which is not really
obvious, the AI just fails less often.
For example: In a 0.10.5 test game an AI sent a unit to build
a colony on a small island, but when it arrived the colony
site had already been taken by another nation. Its units just
hung around until eventually captured. With 0.10.6 a new
colony site is chosen as soon as the existing one becomes
unavailable, and if needed a transport unit will be sent to
take the colony founders there.
- The European AI players now send out missionaries.
- European AI player cheating has been reduced, some explicit cheats
are now controllable in the game options.
- Native AI gift and tribute demand probabilities are now game options.
- Note though, with very few exceptions, the AI is concerned
only with the efficiency of its movements. It makes no
attempt to check if it is moving its units into danger. Not
yet. That is the next major thing to do with the AI. For
now, do not bother reporting bugs where the AI moved a unit
into unnecessary danger. We know.
Cheers,
Mike Pope
