· Fixed Hellsculpt ritual
· Fixed Curse of Diabolism ritual where an order to “seek out curiosities” did not count as a tribute request NOTE: Still having reports that some requests for tribute are not generating prestige loss when a player is cursed. If anybody thinks they have an example of this please send me a save game file or pbem folder from the turn when this happens (before the tribute request order is executed)

· Fixed bug in AI for Goal Support Blood Feud Legion Movement that would result in script error if Secret Manipulation ritual was chosen and path could not be determined

· Fixed bug where ritual cap event was still affecting excommunicated players even though it is a Conclave decree and should not apply to them
· Fixed bug where player perk bonuses where not being added to deceit roll for frame attempt success
· The bonus for Pandemonium in determining successful framing for hostile rituals is now 10 instead of 8

· The main point of this update is to correct a problem that occurs in games with Blood Vassals and Blood Lords where the Blood Vassal does not get credit for actions during Vendettas. If you are a host for a PBEM game then I would recommend you update. There are some other fixes as well but the main one is the Blood Vassal problem.

UI Improvements:

· Added Confirmation Dialogue Box to switching human players to AI from the host control panel
AI Improvements:
· Improved AI Goal_CapturePoP to coordinate multiple legions based more on success rate and less on shortest range to cut down on failed attempts and setbacks.
· Improved Antagonism algorithm so that AI is more likely to stick with demands against antagonist during early/mid game. Algorithm still cedes to focusing on prestige leader in late midlate game or case of runaway leader
· Improved heuristic for accumulating needed resources for bidding on relics that will accelerate player position i.e. +1 Order Slots, +1 Critical Attribute
· Rebalanced (reduced) goal pool values for secondary and tertiary goals that are supportive in nature
· Fixed critical bug in AI target selection for capturing opponent Places of Power. Algorithm was selecting worse ranked PoP rather than best.
