Patch changes

General

- Added UHC Plugin support (see explanation above). - The "Sandbox" difficulty setting has been renamed to "Observer Mode / Sandbox". - Changed default diplomacy stance to Enemy in diplomacy mode. - Polished Diplomacy UI (both window and button). - KotH timer set to 10 minutes, regardless of player count (was problematic with spectators).

Bug fixes

- EP/ETP: Increased minimum orchard distance from TC by 2 (now same as on RE). - EP/ETP: Fixed Tomahawk ability to build after sending Battlefield Construction. - ETP: Fixed Iroquois War Hut BB Lacrosse to increase the range of Tomahawks. - EP: Monitor XP bounties reduced from 100 to 80. - EP: Fixed the rescued native eagle warrior to have proper attack tactics. - EP: Added +4 LOS to Travois builder in order to allow dock placement.

Installer

- Now automatically installs generated UI and non-UI versions of all UIx maps for use on RE TAD.

Launcher

- All custom maps on RE which were generated from UIx are now validated upon launch and replaced with latest version in case they are found to be corrupted/outdated. - As custom UI maps generated from UIx are always prepended with "UI 2.2 ", all outdated special versions of those UI maps such as 2.2c/2.2a are automatically erased from custom maps. - Implemented new launcher icon.

Network hook

- Fixed an issue causing excessive CPU usage.

Anti-cheat

- Added detection of a hack involving market trade. - Protect UHC plugin files from external modifications and disallow external plugins for now.

5.0.0.1

  • Fixed missing placement rules for Sioux teepees, notably causing them to ignore minimum distance from enemy starting TC

5.0.0.2

- fixed missing coastal/icy area around the bay on UIx ESOC Hudson Bay - adjusted KotH spawn locations and constraints on UIx ESOC Adirondacks and UIx ESOC High Plains to prevent King's Hill fort spawn failure
