Call To Power 2 Cradle 3+ mod in progress: https://apolyton.net/forum/other-games/call-to-power-2/ctp2-creation/9437883-making-cradle-3-fully-compatible-with-the-apolyton-edition
+ New AI option - allow AI to use more CPU. Not used yet but will be in future builds.
+ Civ homeworlds are set when loading a saved game.
+ AI (some of them) less reactionary to influence concerns (i.e. won't likely build as many embassies)
+ AI pickier about trading weapons techs
+ AI sensitive to player going for tech victory
+ AI designs ships more often (this will be further refined in the future)
+ Some text string changes
+ Double clicking on a a ship in the stacked ships list will now open the planet screen
+ Can no longer steal techs that belong to a different ethical alignment
+ Re-designed the save and load game systems to be much faster and use a lot less memory (only works on NEW games)
+ Strategic view updates better on loading a saved game
+ Players can now sort by social production on Civ manager
+ Confirmation dialog added on retire option
+ Fixed bug where movement points in a fleet get miscalculated after the battle
+ Tweaks to CalcMilitaryMight to be a better judge of what a strong military really is
+ Civ Abilities recalculated quicker so that various trades and such have a more immediate effect.
+ Research screen remembers what sort list you chose
+ Victory Status tells player how many civs they've conquered
+ Lots of small tweaks and performance enhancements.
+ Neutrality Learning Centers will automatically take over (upgrade from) Research Academies
+ Some research oriented techs are more expensive
I like the fact they've added the Neutrality Learning Centers to autoupgrade list, removes an annoying micromanagement tidbit. The same goes for stealing different ethical alignment techs.
