v1.39

AI
Precomputed Targets: Disabled precomputing of targets (ie the red arrows at the start of each round); units now decide their actions when their turn arrives, which results in smarter combat
Simplified Combat Behaviors: Simplified a lot of the combat behaviors so that units act more predictably; Most support units no longer automatically apply their buffs automatically; they default to their ranged attacks; you can still use their support abilities manually. Also, to increase the fun factor of using support units, the AI will generally prioritize attacking most other unit types before attacking support units.
Targetting Priorities: Adjusted the way units select their targets to reinforce the rock-paper-scissors concept of counters; for example, all other factors being equal, Infantry units now seek out other infantry units before they will go after ranged units. Units now select their targets (generally, sans all other factors) as follows:

Cavalry: Ranged; Cavalry; Flying; Infantry; Support
Flying: Cavalry; Flying; Ranged; Infantry; Support
Infantry: Infantry; Cavalry; Flying; Ranged; Support
Ranged/Support: Attack the closest enemy with the lowest hitpoints

City Improvements
General Changes: The production costs for later era buildings has been reduced as follows: Era 1 buildings costs 75 (No Change); Era 2 buildings cost 250 (No Change); Era 3 buildings cost 400 (down from 600); Era 4 buildings cost 600 (down from 1200); Era 5 buildings cost 800 (down from 3000); many national or efficiency buildings have a higher industry cost (usually double their era cost); some military buildings have a cost that is lower than the average era cost.

Scientific Outposts now provide a flat +10% on Empire Research per outpost

Reduced the production costs of the base for all units for all game speeds; this results in much cheaper "naked" units and slightly cheaper "fully geared" units
Reduced the number of roaming armies and increased their sizes;

Removed swords/shields from Bos (they had all 4 slayer types and free counter; ended up being too strong)
Added spears to Cultist Fanatics (to give the faction more versatility)

Swapped the effects of Inspirational Leader (common skil tree; flat percentage boost to FIDSI) and Impassioned Preacher (Cultist tree; efficiency per pop)

Added a new skill, Protect the Flanks (+1 Reinforcement Positions) to the Ranged Tree;

Capacities have been adjusted
Health capacities and health boosts have been adjusted generally downward (it is a major design philosophy of this mod that player units feel fragile; excessive health leads to immortal units)
Units are being reworked

All weapon and armor techs now give -15% discount (up to -90% total) on strategic item costs (was -10% each for a total of -60%)

Introducing A New Quest, (TOA) The Aurigan Wilds:

Auriga awakens again. Her children return to the warming surface and an infinite variety of shapes and forms begins to flourish.

A hundred points of light; a hundred fires dotting the surface of Auriga. A hundred different tribes. Each with their own story; each point of view separate and distinct from your own.

But this is your story: the story of how your great civilization rose up in the warming Aurigan Wilds.

Note: The Minor Factions will grow stronger with each era.

v1.36: Added all the content from Expanded Heroes into Tales of Auriga; you no longer need to load Expanded Heroes; adjusted the base heroes for Ardent Mages, Cultists, Forgotten and Wild Walkers to use the role and tag systems from Expanded Heroes.

v1.35: Cultist faction tree is now live. Maximum army movement is now 8 movement points per round on the strategic map (down from unlimited); adjusted Wild Walker hero skills to provide High Ground and Forest Resonance capacities instead of direct bonuses (so it's easier to see the effects); Ardent Mages now gain +2 science on terrain with science per rank (was +1 science); Forgotten now gain +2 Dust on terrain with Dust per rank (was +1 dust); Because of the way converted villages were coded by Amplitude, all changes that the minor factions get also apply to Cultist villages; this results in a buff to all unit stats and xp/turn gains by units while they are inside of converted villages; on Hard, this means that all units (even native Cultist units) get +100 health, +25 to all stats and +10xp/turn while they are inside of the villages; once they leave, their stats return to normal; finally, it also looks like there is no military upkeep on units while they are inside the garrisons of converted villages. I don't know how to fix this behavior at the current time, and I think I actually the way it plays; minor faction spawns now level up fairly quickly and are useful as a main component of Cultist armies; converted villages are also a lot more defensible; increased the vision range of converted villages from +1 vision to +2 vision (quality of life improvement); Cultist technology We Are Legion has been renamed Eyes of the Queen; effects have been changed to +3 vision on converted villages (was +40xp on units spawned by converted villages)

v1.34: Ardent Mages now have access to the Fire Rain capacity in their faction skill tree; Fixed Defensive Ward and National Military College to properly be buildable in multiple cities; Ardent Mage Spells now have a cooldown of 1 round (except for stun, which now prevents any further spell casting for the remainder of the battle); Reworked stockpiles; originally, a stockpile would give you 25/175/875 resources (depending on tech) for 1/1/2/2 rounds (depending on game speed); they had an industry-to-resource conversion rate of between 70% and 11% depending on techs researched and game speeds; now, all stockpiles give 50/150/300 (depending on tech) for 3/6/9/12 rounds (depending on game speed); all resources at all tech levels and game speeds now have a 72% industry-to-resource conversion rate. These changes increase the efficiency of stockpiles (making them more usable) and also decrease the need to micromanage (which the UI does not currently support); all tooltips are reworked to be clear and explain the stockpile system. Necrophage stockpiles have also been updated to provide 150 Food (up from 120 Food; now matches the middle food booster in effects) and now last for 3/6/9/12 rounds (up from 1/1/2/2 rounds). Adjusted several luxury boosters; Pixie Blood now gives the bonus health regen on entire empire (instead of just on cities); Gems now give a +0.5 bonus per round to strategic resources on empire.

v1.33: Ardent Mage Torment hero skill now gives +2 Dust on exploitation (was city ditrict); Lumber Mill now gives +2 production on terrain with forest (was +1); Apprentice Registry now gives +2 production on exploitation with industry (was +1); Canal System now gives +2 on terrain with industry (was +1); Ardent Mage Opulence Hero skill increased to +1/+1/+1 luxury resource bonus (was +0.5/+0.5/+0.5); Adjusted the way Ardent Mage spellcasting (in battle) works; Removed the cooldown from all Ardent Mage spells except for Incantation of Enervation aka Stun; you can now cast a spell each round unless you use stun; Stun now has a 6 round cooldown (which means that if you cast stun, you will not be able to cast another spell for the remainder of the battle); Increased the defense granted by Incantation of Defense from 5/10/15/20/25 to 20/40/60/80/100; the bonus defense from Incantation of Defense now lasts 6 rounds; Increased the attack granted by Incantation of Haste from 7/14/21/28/35 to 20/40/60/80/100; the bonus attach from Incantation of Haste now lasts 6 rounds; Increased the damage of Incantation of Deluge from 8/16/24/32/40 to 20/40/60/80/100; Increased the healing done by Incantation of Restoration from 10/20/30/40/50 to 20/40/60/80/100; numbers may be adjusted to balance abilities in future patches.

v1.32: Support tree is live; Removed outposts and Allied Kingdoms as buildable objects for the AI; Outposts and Allied Kingdoms now require full ownership in order to build.; removed dust costs from most military buildings; removed the once per empire limitiation on defensive wards; reduced construction costs of defensive wards to 250 production and lowered effect to +10 fortification per pop (no longer requires glassteel); medical center and materials hoard now require 250 production (down from 600) and no longer require strategic resources to build; army manual now requires 5 palladian (instead of 5 hyperium) to build; national military college now requires 5 palladian (down from 15) to build; removed the once per empire restriction on national military college; increased xp at unit creation on innoculation station to 200; innoculation station now requires 5 palladian (down from 15 palladian and 5 hyperium); increased militia slots on military reserves to +4 slots (up from +1); removed the +400 city fortification from military reserves; lowered the cost of military reserves to 250 production (to make it more useful in late game border towns where it might be relevant); Level 1 of the Empire and Expansion Empire Plan has been changed from +2 vision to -25% Expansion Dissapproval

v1.31: Ardent Mage faction tree is now live; Support tree is not updated, but it is functional; Removed Infantry Slayer from 2H Bows (was too strong on an already strong and overrepresented role); Increased Flying Slayer on 2H Bows 1 rank to compensate; Added Slow Down to 1H Swords (allows Infantry to control the battlefield and gives them a niche); significantly boosted the difficulty of Minor Faction units on Hard (Taeves made me do it!); once you settle a region, minor faction spawn rates slow way down (to give you a chance to conquer them); Increased the size of city garrisons to be 8 units base (increases with tech like normal); this should allow you to create/store more units in cities (allowing flexibility in creating new armies)

v1.300: Changed this mod to be Standalone (~400mb). Fixed tooltips on Outposts And Allied Kingdoms. Removed production costs on Outposts, Allied Kingdoms and Roads. Tech: Search Party renamed Exploration; now gives +1 Vision and +1 Strategic Movement and removes the chance to not recieve loot from ruins. Completely reworked skills! Currently implemented: Common, Infantry, Ranged, Wild Walkers and Forgotten; Not yet implemented: Support, Flying/Cavalry, Ardent Mages, Cultists, Dakken, Roving Clans, Necrophage, Broken Lords, or Vaulters; Reworked combat; Adjusted which slayer capacities each weapon had; doubled the bonus from slayer; put sweeping strike back on most 2H weapons; increased the bonus from Point Blank Power; Slightly increased the percentage of exhaustion and unsteady debuffs; many buffs/debuffs now last 6 rounds.
