Military policies have been changed to provide ways to grow cities faster and replace the citizens lost to military service.

Unit production bonuses now apply to Anti-Cavalry units instead of Ranged units. Allowing Spearmen to counter Horsemen in a more cost effective fashion.

Every District has had its adjacency bonus changed. Some have had their role reworked. The Encampment is now a livestock yard, while the Industrial Zone focus on mining production from adjacent Mountains.

For a complete list of all the new adjacency effects see the reference image above.

Some Buildings have been changed to make them more dependent on the local resources the city has access to. Harbor buildings (Lighthouse, Shipyard, Seaport) all boost Finishing Boats.

The Stable provides production from Horses while the Barracks provides production from Iron and Niter. Access to these strategic resources will reward rulers who specialize their cities to infantry or cavalry production.

The Workshop provides production from Coal, Oil and Uranium. Making cities with those resources the best locations to start or expand your industrial revolution.
