Clients[]
- Better handling of the situation where multiple Settlers are selected and the "Build city" order is issued. GNA#14702
- Do not save gameseed or mapseed settings in client config file (this would cause the user to get the same game/map every time they started the client). GNA#17122

Gameplay / Rules[]
Supplied rulesets[]
- The effects of notradesize / fulltradesize are now calculated separately from the normal corruption calculation; this gives a more consistent effect, and prevents building Courthouses to circumvent those settings. GNA#17348
- Make the SaveSmallWonder flag actually have an effect; previously, all small wonders would be rebuilt if lost. This didn't matter for the default ruleset (where the Palace is the only "small wonder" and this effect is desired), but it does affect the new multiplayer ruleset. GNA#17333
- Adjusted parameters for tech upkeep (enabled in the experimental ruleset). GNA#17270
- Fixes specific to multiplayer ruleset:
- Allowed gameloss units to survive without home city even if killunhomed is enabled. GNA#17085
- Fixes to nation rules. GNA#17556 GNAPATCH#2246
- Minor improvements to supplied scenarios. GNAPATCH#2264 GNAPATCH#2341
Other rulesets[]
- gold_upkeep_style=2: when gold runs out, buildings and units are alternately sold (rather than selling all buildings before selling any units). GNA#16413
