A little sneak preview on what we are preparing for the next update

Startpos
- Culture changes: all playable factions will see major changes to the cultural make-up of their provinces. The new percentages will much more accurately represent existing cultures. This will reduce native discontent in some areas, and increase it in others, resulting in a more historically representative and balanced start (requires restart to take effect) 
- Further improvements to starting positions of several factions, improving on the changes introduced with 1.02. More balanced starting buildings for the Seleucids and fixes to food shortages for certain factions and missing starting technologies

Improvements
- The corruption bug has been fixed. Corruption now scales appropriately by empire size, from 0 to 30% at world domination. 
- Campaign AI: CAI now attacks settlements and forces hostile to it with greater resolve, cutting out the idle behaviour that was previously prevalent. It swiftly besieges nearby settlements during war, and is more inclined to attack hostile forces and prioritises defending border regions or contested areas over core territory. 
CAI spending: The CAI allocates funds more appropriately, focusing more on civil and economic infrastructure and somewhat less on military constructions. This should help the AI to build stable empires.
- Autoresolve: One of the lesser areas of the mod has received the attention it deserves. Auto-resolve has been changed to 1) reduce overall casualties from all types of engagements 2) reducing casualties sustained by melee units - which now survive engagements instead of being wiped out 3) improvements to auto resolve during siege battles, lending the defenders a smaller advantage for a more realistic outcome and reducing the need to play every battle
- New icons for several Eastern and Roman buildings
- Improved triggers for several common traits and ancillaries that will now only trigger on more specific events
- Several small balancing adjustments to the economy. Large update is planned. 
- Slightly reduced stats of most Roman units 
- Fix for Carthage native discontent and rebalancing for other factions in this area
- Fix for Egypt garrisons that are not appearing as thry should

This list represents in progress/completed changes and not the full changelog of the next update
