FYI: I have retired from working on this mod, due to my interest in civ diminishing. I may update it occasionally with no set schedule, just to maintain it or address urgent needs. A new BBG team has stepped up to take over and I have a lot of confidence and faith in them. Their version stands to be the new de facto version used in the multiplayer communities and events. You can subscribe to it here:
