The eighth nation in the game

[artur912xx-ai]

Gentlemen,
Today Coderman has released update 1.52, which is now out of beta. This version introduces support for the eighth nation in random games (brown). When preparing your update, please make sure to include this feature as it is essential.

Yeah... it would be easier if ByPort just forked the Coderman repository. He has already reworked so much there that adding everything into the old 1.42 engine would be harder than just forking it and developing the ready-made one.

Oh, the legacy version got updated. Time to play!

Yeah, his generator is pretty funny. It’s called “if you don’t have resources, just grab them from your neighbor.” 😂
But hey, it works — and that’s what matters!

The logic has also changed. Previously, when gold ran out, all mercenaries in the game would turn brown and just stand still. But now they’re controlled by the AI. If you’re allied with brown, it simply takes over managing them; if not, it captures peasants and actually plays.
