Additions v1.29f:

• Editor: Added a new flag to terrain types to be able to set whether or not cities can be built on a particular terrain type.
• Editor: Implemented city placement. You can now add, delete and edit cities. When a city is placed, a unique name is automatically generated for it. City art will match the era of the player it is assigned to.
• Editor: Implemented mouse cursor feedback. If the tile under the mouse is invalid for the current brush type, the invalid mouse cursor is displayed.
• Saved last scenario loaded in .INI file.
• Editor: Updated Tile property sheet to work with starting locations.
• Editor: Added 'Reassign' tile option to context menu.

• Editor: Added display of city territory boundaries with a View option to toggle this display.
• Editor: Added additional speed optimizations to release build.
• Editor: Added team color to units, starting locations, text, and territory boundaries. Note that, because of the number of possible combinations of players/civs placed on the map and the number of team colors available, the same team colors can and will be used for different players.

• Added some restrictions to randomly-generated starting location (can't appear on goody huts, barbarian camps, units, cities, or colonies -- this only affects scenarios).
• Added error messages for the following items when entries are missing from pediaicons.txt: era splash, wonder splash, victory portraits, building icons. Note that error messages will only be displayed when attempting to load the missing file and this doesn't necessarily occur at game startup.
• Updated scenario loading with support for auto-generated city names. City names will always be generated in the same order unless the scenario is modified (so, if a city is assigned 'Rome,' it will always be assigned 'Rome,' when playing that scenario).
• Editor: Added option to context menu to center on the clicked tile.
• Editor: Added 'auto' check box to city properties that will cause the city's name to be automatically generated when the scenario is loaded into the game. It defaults to ON if the active player cannot access city names (i.e., they are a player with no civ assigned) and OFF if the active player can access city names.
• Added the ability to rename units if they produce a great leader during combat. The player is given a popup to name this unit.
• Added error handling for scenarios with an incorrect number of difficulty levels, eras, espionage missions, experience levels, worker jobs, terrain types, and world sizes. The player will be given a message and the game will exit.
• Editor: Added various interface enhancements.
• Editor: Added ability to import BIC data from other BIC files.
• Added an '*' next to experience level name for units that have produced a leader.

Changes v1.29f:

• Editor: Changed the rename unit confirmation message to only be displayed if there is no corresponding folder and .INI file for the new name.
• Disabled tutorial mode when using custom rules (due to a number of problems/bugs).
• Sped-up world builder for generated maps.
• Circular leader heads used in civ3 are no longer hardcoded.
  Fixed crash that occurs on the city screen when a city is connected to more than 8 resources.
• Editor: Changed context menu to support cascading popup submenus for the many delete options.
• Editor: Renamed 'Restart Players' game setting to 'Respawn AI Players'.
• Editor: Renamed references to 'Terraforming Improvements' to 'Worker Jobs'.
• Editor: Changed maximum allowable value for Appearance Ratio for resources to 900.
• Editor: Renamed 'Infinite Range' unit ability to 'Infinite Bombard Range'.
• Removed hard-coding of small luxury icons for city screen. This should remove all art restrictions for adding Resources in the editor.
• Renamed 'Restarting Players' game rule to 'Respawn AI Players' on the player setup screen.
• Removed scenario popup if there is no title AND no description AND the rules have not been modified in the scenario.
• Removed compression from auto saves.
• Moved preferences popup so that it no longer extends off the bottom of the screen.
• Changed error message for incompatible scenario versions to make sense for both older and newer versions.
  Updated code for loading citizen icons to synchronize it with the number of citizen types in the BIC file. As such, citizen icons are no longer hard-coded.
• Moved tech icons into pediaicons.txt.
• Synchronized improvement icon loading.
• Editor: Removed icon from Civilization Advances page as they are now stored in pediaicons.txt.
• Editor: Updated BIC file version to 3.14.
• Editor: Optimized rules property sheet for speed.
• Editor: Updated improvements page to allow only 1 center of empire.
• Editor: Optimized citizen and government pages slightly.
• Editor: Set ocean as the default terrain type.
• Editor: Renamed all references to 'Goods' to 'Resources'.
• Editor: Changed city placement so that roads/railroads are not automatically added to the tile but neither are they removed and they can be manually placed underneath cities.
• Editor: Restricted road placement to tiles where the terrain type has a road bonus.
• Made a slight change to placement of goody huts and bonus grassland tiles. This will have no effect on existing maps and saved games but it will cause new seed-generated maps to be generated differently than they were prior to this version (i.e., using the same seed before this version and after this version will produce maps with a different distribution of goody huts and bonus grassland tiles).
• Removed the water restriction from terraforming so that all terraform types are now based on the terrain type (except for forts).
• Changed city code so that a road/railroad is not placed under a city if a road/railroad is not allowed on the terrain type the city is built upon.
• Editor: Changed territory calculations. This will cause existing scenarios to have slightly different territory display in the editor only. The territory display in the game for existing scenarios will be unaffected.
• Changed Military Advisor to evaluate armies based on relative strengths of units as opposed to number of units.
• Changed air units to ignore movement costs of terrain types (this will only have an effect on air units without the Immobile ability).
