Rules Freeze / New in Version 0.13.0

Bad news for all who were hoping for more: That's it! Real evolution is eternal but a software project can't be. Version 0.13 has the final C-evo 1.0 rules and the final AI interface. (At least, that's my plan.) AI improvement and bugfixing are now the "only" things left to do for version 1.0. Post-1.0 versions might address the user interface and advanced macro management.

The main reason for release 0.13 is to introduce espionage (which is not a big thing in C-evo, it's not even called espionage). Additionally, I used this final chance to do a few rules corrections that I considered necessary or beneficial. These changes are:

A nation is dead when its last city is destroyed, even if it has units left
Cancelling a peace treaty with a nation automatically results in cancelling peace with all its allies (even if these were own allies!)
Tech tree slightly modified (Monotheism, Theology, Fundamentalism)
Lybertarianism rules changed
Units can no longer be utilized for buildings and buildings no longer rebuilt to units
Maximum size of a city is 20
Cities >8 do not grow with only one food surplus, it's converted to money instead
City capture destroys town hall and courthouse
Fixed several bugs and conceptual flaws concerning stealth
Maximum of 50 instead of 100 future techs (avoids integer overflow)
GeoSat Program replaced by Space Port
Maximum weight of ships is 9
Ships with weight 6 and bigger require double support
Only ground units can pillage
Railmount feature removed, Spy Plane feature added
Other changes: Cathedral (cost reduced), Hoover Dam (cost increased), MIR (cost increased), Command Bunker (cost reduced), Colosseum (effect reduced), Hanging Gardens/Great Library (expirations exchanged)

And some interface improvements:

Goto from, to and via transports
Game tells you when all other nations are extinct
Warning when not enough unit support produced
Warning when attacking with less than 100 MP
Message when trying to load, unload or bombard with too few movement points

Enjoy!
