+Changes to Empire 4.3.6 - Sun Jun 18 19:07:37 UTC 2006
+ * You can now allied planes with nukes.
+ * Taking a nuke off a plane gives it to the sector owner again.
+ Feature was accidentally dropped in 4.3.3. Recipient must be
+ allied.
+ * Naval path went bananas for impassable end sectors (broken in
+ 4.3.1).
+ * New econfig key disabled_commands.
+ * New territory selector dterr, restricted to deities. The territory
+ command defaults to it for deities.
+ * Let land units attack as long as they have positive mobility,
+ except for high-mobility terrain (mountains), where the rules
+ remain as they were: land units need to have all the mobility
+ charged for the attack, not counting combat and moving in to
+ occupy. Rationale: Making sure your land units reach attack
+ positions with enough mobility left is a pain in the neck.
+ Requiring only positive mobility is friendlier, but allowed rushing
+ of mountains, so we make an exception there.
+ * Can typeset info pages as PostScript. Result isn't exactly pretty.
+ * Support disabling of infrastructure in infra custom table. Remove
+ redundant option DEFENSE_INFRA. show command now shows only enabled
+ infrastructure.
+ * Fix crash on empty argument in bmap, lbmap, lmap, map, nmap, pbmap,
+ pmap sbmap, smap (broken in 4.3.1).
+ * New, simpler sector mobility cost formula:
+ - The basic cost is still a linear function of sector efficiency,
+ with customizable cost at 0% and at 100%. The latter used to be
+ derived from the former. The show command shows both parameters
+ now.
+ - Mountains are no longer a special case.
+ - Tweak costs: mountains now range from 2.4 to 1.2 instead of 2.174
+ to 1.304, highway, bridge head, bridge span and bridge tower
+ range from 0.4 to 0.001 instead of 0.2 to 0.001, and wilderness
+ is 0.4 flat instead of 0.6 to 0.4. All sector types mortal
+ players can designate now cost the same at 0%. That's a feature.
+ - Road infrastructure now reduces cost up to 90%, linear in road
+ efficiency (used to be close to that, but non-linear). Same for
+ rail infrastructure, but 99%. Adapted from Ice World V.
+ - Double land unit minimum cost to 0.02, to slow them down on
+ highways.
+ - Change land unit cost penalty in newly taken land to an extra 0.2
+ instead of a minimum of 0.2, to reduce penetration depth.
+ * Reduce bridge head defense and collect value to match highway's.
+ * sinfrastructure displayed bogus rail mobility costs when there was
+ no rail.
+ * Retreating engineers took full landmine damage instead of half.
+ * Fix socket creation code not to print a null pointer.
+ * Fix login option code not to search beyond end of table (broken in
+ 4.2.21).
