Fixed multiple issues with the pathfinder that was causing units to exhibit inefficient movement choices. Fixed an issue causing Denmark’s trait (allows disembarked units to have an extra move after landing) to not function correctly. Could also cause modded saves to be corrupted or crash on load.

Fixed an issue causing mods to constantly reload each time the user visited the mods area. Please see our note at the bottom of the change-list on how modders can correct this. NOTE: The cause of this could also exist in existing mods. Fixed an issue that was causing the pop-up queue to stop displaying in-game pop-ups until the game was reloaded.
Fixed an issue where the DX9 version of the game could become unstable or crash if started multiple times in the same session.

On certain video cards, after playing for a short amount of time (or across a number of short games), the game could exhibit strange graphical behavior (rapidly blinking graphics, terrain unloading, etc.), which could eventually lead to a driver failure or hang. A city-strike or ranged unit could cause the game to crash when playing in the DX9 version, mainly in full-screen, but could occur in windowed mode as well.

Societal and psychological innovation would halt, therefore eventually neutralizing shared interest. Keep in mind that individuality doesn’t only account for privacy or attributes, but rather ideologies and philosophy.
However, if such an eventuality where to develop, would we as a civilization really be at a disadvantage? While, yes, individuals would lack individuality, said same individuals would live a simplistically dull, yet happy life. ”Individual stability” refers to a “stability of happiness,” and the participants in the article debate whether it’s worth losing individuality for the sake of convenience (“happiness”) via newly developed biomedical microchips. No social stability without individual stability.” “No civilization without social stability. “Stability,” says the Controller in the novel. The proposal to microchip people is similar to how Huxley’s “World State” sacrifices individuality for the convenience of happiness. “Microchipping Humans Wields Great Promise, But Does It Pose Greater Risk?,” meanwhile, transcribes a debate about the utility, promise and convenience of microchipping. To specify, the article “How Tech Giants Have Shredded Our Privacy and What We Should Do About It” speaks of a lack of ethics among management of personalized data and lists the worst “offenders of privacy.” In “Brave New World,” identity has similarly become irrelevant, followed by the right to privacy.
While reading the articles, it’s hard not to think of how Huxley’s World State used “COMMUNITY, IDENTITY, STABILITY” as its motto. These articles reveal how advances in the scientific/economic/political communities could and possibly are diminishing our sense of identity (therefore individuality, privacy, etc.), similar to how Huxley’s novel is set in a world without individuality, all to better suit a utilitarian civilization. This can be seen in two articles published this year by PBS’ “NewsHour” that express concern about microchipping humans and privacy in the age of technology. While “Brave New World” is filled with witty and interesting satire, some of Huxley’s satire appears to have become reality, not only in development through scientific achievement, but through philosophical and political debate. A bleak dystopia to the modern mind, the ideology relayed is “happiness over individuality.” Yet, this is only the backdrop to a larger satirical approach. The same population is even psychologically conditioned to appeal and react to specific philosophies. Huxely describes a civilization in which all are classified by genetic stature, facial expression and even eye color. Aldous Huxley’s “Brave New World,” a novel notorious for deconstructing the societal conscience of English civilization through intelligent and witty satire, appears as mere fiction.
