CHANGELOG

MAJOR

• building costs won't decrease overtime due to technology
• improve ambition chains ("textile experience" and "the sword") are now more likely to happen (lessen the skill cap)
• "cadastre" event chains are now more dynamic and triggered only, it is also more rewarding
• tax laws for feudal and iqta are now capped by centralization levels, tax levels are lowered, levy slider don't bring taxes any-more

• prosperous industry modifier is more worthy
• general military: less raids, lower reinforcement speeds, naval attrition, armies are slightly slower, more expensive maintenance
