• Moved Free Scholar tech card from Forestry to Metaphysics
• Moved Architecture and Vaulting back a tier in the tech tree

• Most map scripts in multiplayer now place all human players on the same landmass.
• Exceptions are Archipelago, Continents, Player Islands and Disjunction
• This is optional on Mediterranean and Lakes and Gulfs maps using 'Connected Player Starts' as this can significantly affect player starting positions
• In MP games using the Player Development setting, extra cities have to obey the connection requirements of starting locations. If they can't the player will not get them
• Significantly increased the effect of Ruthless AI on player opinion and war declaration modifier
• Laurion Mine now enables a Miner specialist on the tile
• Undo is no longer available in cloud games using the Strict (Teams) turn style. This does not affect cloud games using Strict (Players) which still have undo.

Programming

• Improved AI unit danger estimate
• AI now helps their allies count down the capture timer for cities

UI

• Added notification for units that you kill during your turn

• Pin Character mission removed. Pinning is now performed with a new star icon found under character actions
• Leader icon changed to a crown and non-succession royals to an asterisk to differentiate them from the pin icon
