Siege Units:
- All siege units are now Support units (like traders, battering rams, medics, etc).
- The ranged siege units like Catapults can still used their ranged attacks despite being Support units.

Terrain:
- Rivers provide a defensive bonus of +15 increased from +5.

War Weariness:
- Weariness per combat in allied lands increased to 4 from 1.

Experience:
- Attacking is more risky now due to so many defensive terrain modifiers, so I made it more rewarding.

Modifiers:
- These bonuses depend on positioning your units more tactically, and therefore are being improved.

Siege Units & Technology:
- Siege units are even more vulnerable and require protection.
- The pacing of siege units are now spread out a little bit more.

Terrain:
- It's hard to attack up-hill so hills provide a defense bonus.
- It's easier to hide in forests and jungle so they provide a defense bonus as well.
- Open terrain is easy to attack on so they provide a defense penalty.
- Marsh is hard to move in, so it provides a defensive bonus.
- Attacking across a river is rarely a good idea.

War Weariness:
- People don't like fighting.
- Even more-so in foreign lands.
- Keep wars short/fast or take advantage of enemy inability to do so.

- Hill Jungles provide a defensive bonus of +17. Watch out for barbarian camps on a hill jungle tile with +18 defensive bonus.

- A fort on a hill would be a highly defendable position for an archer.

- Escorting a catapult with an archer can lead to quick and devastating city damage.

- Gandhi receives a notable buff to his Satyagraha leader bonus (double war weariness for aggressors) since values are 4/5 instead of 1.

- Roman Legions receive a buff now that Forts have a larger defensive bonus.

- With Hojo's Divine Wind leader bonus a coastal jungle hill would stack up a defensive bonus of +22 or a bonus of +25 for a costal hill fort.

- Scotland's Highlander could stack up to a +25 bonus with a hill fort.
