• Added a guided tutorial for new players that highlights each control as it explains it. Hints about what’s different from other 4X games appear one per turn, with a Move To button.

Balance

• Egypt’s civ bonus now allows farms on desert/arid next to rivers and gives +1 food and +1 gold on desert/arid. It also reduces wonder costs by 20%.
• Rebalanced wonder costs by era. Placeable wonders now add tile yields and culture.
• Settler cost now scales with your city count and technology era.

• Barracks bonus to land military unit production raised from 10% to 20%.
• Religion spreads more slowly. Missionary cost raised from 40 to 80.

• Caravel cargo raised from 2 to 9.
• Continents maps now keep a wider ocean gap between landmasses.
• Increased doodads and fishing spots on the Earth map, and rebalanced goodie hut locations.
• AI now only declares war when its army can win it.
• AI neighbours grow hostile when your cities crowd their borders, so wars now happen on Continents maps too.
• AI civs without a religion are wary of religious civs, and religion founders keep their faith.
• AI now values Libraries, Granaries and founding a religion more, and chases trade goods less.
