Gameplay

Balance

Adjusted relationship decay rates.
Reduced Warmonger penalties in most instances, and adjusted how this reacts to returning versus keeping a city. The last city conquered from a player now provides a heavy warmonger penalty, even if you have a Casus Belli against this player, because you are wiping out a civilization.
Deleting a unit no longer provides gold.
Barbarian camps must spawn further away from low-difficulty players’ cities.

Adjusted AI understanding of declared friendship.
Increased AI competitiveness in building a more advanced military.
Adjusted AI victory condition focus to increase their competitiveness in Science and Tourism.

Added the number of specialists working a tile.
Added the signature to the diplomacy action view/deal view so that we can differentiate between duplicate players. Also added multiplayer screenname in diplomacy.
Added Trade Route yields to the Reports screen.
Updated to display what cities are getting amenities from each resource.
When loading a game, the era blurb will be the current era of the saved game, rather than the starting era of the game.
