Release v1.27 · frankstrater/RFC-RAND-UP

Updated to RFC 1.187
Added "Start in 3000BC" option (active for Low and Very Low only) in Custom Game
Many more rivers
More food around starting locations
Improved terrain around tundra and jungle starts
Persia starts with 3 settlers because there is no Susa around
Because land type is unpredictable, requirements for Persian and Mongolian UHV are lowered to 7% and 10% of world land
Super-Greece starts with less units, without Hunting and The Wheel and has lowered modifiers
Jerusalem can't flip on civ spawn
Elaboration after map generation now produces more natural shapes when separating continents (not "cut by knife" anymore). This should be especially visible on Low likeness
American UP is enabled when Democracy is discovered
Map scripts now include a check for too low landmass ratio, and add some islands
Spawn dates are more random: Very high is the same as RFC; High can vary of 4 turns (instead of being the same as Very high); Medium can vary of 10 turns (instead of 4); Low is semi-random (instead of 10); Very low is totally random (instead of partially random)

Tuned some modifiers
Updated city names lists
Reduced barbarian pressure on China, increased on Rome, Persia, Mali, Babylonia and Greece
Rebalanced research modifiers in favour of European crippled civs, slightly worse for Mali, Inca and Maya instead (which get better land than in RFC)
Smaller Greek spawn area
Refined flip system during both spawn and resurrection
Flips more likely to happen on spawn, for civs with lots of cities
During resurrection, flips now depend on original founder too
No bonus will appear on seaice
Disabled some time consuming debug prints
Adjusted European spawn areas in Very high
Civs starting in 3000 BC on Low and Very low start 2 random techs (Fishing more likely for coastal starts)
Adjusted starting techs for civs spawning in the very early game on Low and Very low
Mayan UP begins in Classical Age
Greece, Carthage and Maya won't spawn after Medieval Age, in order to be able to use their UP
Egyptian UP adapts to starting date: Representation and Burocracy are granted in case of late start
Independent cities spawn slightly earlier in Very low; applied to Low too
Wine and Silk swapped when on plains, on High and Very high
