Round 57 Changes

General

• Protection starting resources changed to 0 except food. Construction, rezoning, and exploration are free for everyone for the first protection tick.
• While submitting to a deity, you are not allowed to take action against other dominions outside of your range but dominions outside of your range can take action against you, until the submission is accepted by the deity.
• Liberation requires sending at least 120% of the annexed Barbarian’s DP. Hits from 100% — 120% count as regular invasions and do not break the annexation.
• Pairing limit (max X of one unit per Y other units) is now enforced both at training and invasion, meaning you cannot send more units than you have pairing capacity for. The only exception to this is Artillery.
• Land Improvements 2.0
  • Not a huge change. Just makes it easier to have land-based perks (perks and production).
