Terraformers

• Fixed a bug where a new dedication was not picked after using the Tourist Magnet to found a city (and auto picking the humanist policy) • Fixed a bug where a policy could be proposed to replace the same one Improvements and gameplay changes (Independence DLC) • After founding a new city, you can now choose from 2 new policies for your next city of that faction at the start of the next turn. • You can now revert founding a city again (just like in the base game). • If you haven’t founded a new city with a faction for a long time, you will get an event with a suggestion to change the policy of a specific faction or keep the current one. This event replaces the event in which you can choose to replace a policy of any faction. • Upon receiving a faction mandate, you can now choose to receive a support boost instead. • You can now select any color for your city, even colors that don’t match their faction. Balance changes - Independence DLC general balance • Rewards for faction level ups have changed. You now only ever get 1 faction seat per faction level up to prevent heavy government swings in the late game: • level 1: 1 seat & 1 tier-1 mandate reward. • level 2: 1 seat & 1 tier-2 mandate reward. • level 3: 1 seat & 1 tier-3 mandate reward. • further: Level 3 is repeated, the influence requirements increase by 5 per level. • Total seats amount and independence requirement lowered from 8 to 7. • Increased the global comfort of living gained from autonomous from 1 to 2. • Increased the global comfort of living gained from independence from 3 to 4. • Lowered cost of Democratic Parliament from 50 to 44 water. • Lowered cost of Leader Statue from 50 to 44 titanium.   Faction centers: • Faction centers now require 1/2/3/5 seats of their faction in government to be placed instead of 1/3/5/7. • Lowered the amount of faction centers proposed.  • Changed the Industrialists Logistics Center to require only 1 seat instead of 3. Lowered the cost from 31 power to 10 power. It now provides 1 resource-specific trade route per unique resource that the city produces.
