* Great Engineers: Amount of hammers from Hurry Production reduced significantly. Equation changed from (200 + (20 \* city pop)) to (50 + (24 \* city pop)). This amount is doubled when used to Hurry spaceship parts (via the Spaceflight Pioneers tenet in Order ideology).

* Inland Seas: [Bug Fix] Naval combat units can now be trained in all inland seas.
* City Resistance: After being conquered, Cities will be in Resistance half as long (i.e. 1 turn per 2 pop instead of 1 turn per pop).

* Iron: Revealed at Mining tech (instead of Bronze Working).

## UI & CIVILOPEDIA

* Lobby: Text "Random Leader" prefaced with YOUR current mod version (ex: "(NQMod9.0) Random Leader") so that you know for sure which version you are running. This will help solve version mismatch problems easier.
	+ Please note that each player sees the number for their version on ALL players, so you still have to communicate to make sure everyone is the same. Simply naming your game with current version (ex: "NQ MapV11 ModV9.0") should help a lot.
* Single Player Advanced Setup: Sorted alphabetically by civ instead of leader (ex: "America - Washington" instead of "Washington - America").
* Colonialism: Help text in Civilopedia fixed.
