Hi guys, I patched up the horses bug (#2684). Philosophy of the bugfix: The indians were gaining horses out of nowhere, because ServerIndianSettlement treated them like any other resource. This led into gaining even 10-15 horses each turn. Now horses are skipped in this step and bred with respect to the max 2 per turn policy, which was already implemented. Because of the correction, the indians would be in great disadvantage since they would need to buy a pair of horses first, then the breeding would kick in. Players could abuse this behavior, forcing indians to exist with no horses at all. To mitigate the situation, I modified server controller the way that every time there is FIRST contact of European nation with natives, the natives gain two horses in their capital. Then the breeding starts doing its job like I previously explained.
Some tests showed the implementation is behaving in a good way - I met first indian nation in turn 3 and first mounted unit appeared approx. in turn 26. After turn 35 there were just 5 mounted units all over the world. Examining the save games showed that horses gradually spread througout the map as the nations were meeting each other, which was exactly what I intended. Patchfile attached.
