New Civ 4 Patch

[Enoch]

Check it out! (Link goes to civfanatics thread w/ lots of mirrors)

 

I haven't gotten a chance to mess around with it yet, but it looks like they've done quite a bit of re-balancing. For example, early game forest chopping yields fewer hammers, the Financial trait loses its cheap banks, the Expansive trait gets a better health bonus, the happiness bonus from Representation is lower, and the upkeep costs are adjusted for several Civics.

 

They've also released some of the source code for higher-level modification, as well as lower-resolution in-game movies (intro, wonders, and victories) for players with older machines.
