Hi everyone, There is a third city nation, the Maya, in the east, sharing the Caribbean with the Arawak. The ruler is Canek, the capital is Nojpetén, and they show up in jade on the map. Their cities have their own art: a limestone pyramid with a roof comb and a plaza, in HD and at the normal size, plus an engraving of Canek. They are calmer than the Arawak. The number of settlements stays the same: about half of them become Maya cities. Chocolate stays a Mesoamerican craft. A Maya or an Aztex city...

School timing (total) Easy trades: 5 turns (2 + 3) Planters / guild: 7 turns (3 + 4) Preacher / statesman: 9 turns (4 + 5)...

FreeCol Americas update (0.3.4 in progress) New Apprentices mod: free colonist → apprentice → expert in the New World (school totals 5/7/9 turns by trade). Converts can learn guild crafts up to native apprentice; outdoor native experts stay with Conversos. Also: chocolate now needs cacao and milk (Livestock); Hernando de Soto reweighted almost early-only (15/2/0); distinct New World destination icon; ship/tobacco HD transparency fixes.

New update for the FreeCol Americas pack (HD Graphics + livestock): Fix Fixed incorrect transparency on HD units: blacks that should stay solid (hats, boots, horse manes/tails, dark clothing, etc.) no longer punch through. Covers dragoons, scouts, native dragoon, Firebrand Preacher, and several mod expert units. Spanish rename: Pastor experto → Pastor de ovejas experto (to avoid confusion with the preacher).
