Realism Invictus 3.57 Full Installer file

3.57 update brings the following changes as compared to 3.55:

Balance changes: buildings

• Got rid of 1-2% commerce bonuses with Weaver, Tailor, Jeweller and Trading Post, as they were mostly meaningless
• Tailor gets +10% flat gold
• Buffed Cinemas from 5% culture and war weariness to 10%

Balance changes: civ-specific

• Aztecs have access to a new promotion line, giving strength and bonus vs barbarians. Aztec NUs and Coyote priests have instant access, for all other non-ranged units unique Aztec school provides it
• Incan Chasquis is less formidable as a military unit, but now has an additional use: Chasquis can "build" mit'a, providing Incan cities with more workforce and food. A rare NU with an economic bonus...
• Ethiopian civ can now move their Forbidden Palace, reflecting the fact that Ethiopia had a mobile capital for a significant period of their history
• Greece no longer has a unique watermill; now has a new unique improvement - Olive Grove - providing lots of commerce and some food from hills
• Malinese UB no longer gives a flat gold bonus, but rather grants a larger bonus to precious mines and, to reflect the second cash commodity of Mali Empire, gives a large commerce bonus to Salt Pits and additional health with salt
• Rebalanced the NU stats of Armenia (Royal Guard bonuses higher, but base strength -1; heavy cavalry bonuses higher)
• New Bantu NU: Maasai Warrior, replacing the very generic bowman, for all your cattle raiding needs

Balance changes: other

• Significantly buffed water wheels; now a valid early production option for flatland cities (later on farms are still a better option I reckon, but these production buildings need to get rolling first)
• AI should now prefer rushing production with slaves rather than building improvements
• Got rid of all strength 4 militias; they still have hefty bonuses that set them apart from the rest, but now all militias are str 3

Bug fixes

• Fixed a couple of division by zero errors that caused CTDs
• Fixed a long-standing CTD bug related to naval combat (actual fix by DarkLunaPhantom)
• Chinese Canal NI no longer destroys flood plains (though visually they are still removed while the canal is there)
• Foragers for hunter-gatherer civs in scenarios no longer have combat strength (used to cause all kinds of AI weirdness)
• Austronesian shortswordsman can now correctly upgrade to swordsman, same as other civs
• Fixed Israeli archer line so that they properly have a composite bowman
• Taiwan no longer able to build South Chinese NI

Cosmetic and technical changes

• Implemented a city alert for being over separatism threshold
• When revolutions are off, separatism bonuses/maluses are not shown in the civic screen
• The default scoreboard format should now be "Leader/Civilization", which should be handy for dynamic civ names
• Malinese empire renamed to Sahelian, to reflect the actual unit roster and leader lineup
• Lots of unit art updates, especially in Africa, the Americas, and for WW1-WW2 era units
• Hunter-gatherer civs got lots of new unit buttons, no longer using generic ones
• New default cannon unit, to better reflect the fact that it doesn't represent Napoleonic-era artillery
• XIX-century field artillery wheels now round
• Switched stormtroopers to a different animation
• Flavour workboats for most cultures in Medieval-Renaissance era
• Religious communities no longer use monastery models, now have unique artwork of their own
• New Iron Age European cityset
• New Iberian/Latin American Renaissance cityset
• New artwork for lots of leaders
• Yield symbols now have an outline for better readability
• Retouched some terrain graphics
• Austronesia gets their own unit voices in a proper language (Old Malay, from AoE2)
• Lots of fixes to unit models, textures and animations
