   I'D RATHER BE A HAMMER THAN A NAIL
EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY - CHANGES TO BUILDING VALUES AND EFFECTS

You may need to change town in order to refresh the values across the board. If you cannot change town, then logging out and back in will refresh the values.

Foreign Office
The Foreign office effectiveness has been increased and rather than increasing your city's radius of diplomatic visibility and detection by 10% per level of office it is now 30% per level. Diminishing returns still apply for multiple offices. 

Vault Capacity; also acts as additional storage
The vault now serves as both protection and storage, and stacks with the Warehouse and Storehouse.

Protection of advanced resources by the Vault remains Vault Level x 10.

The capacity of the vault has been tripled at every level:

The vault capacity progression is now as follows:

Lvl Previous New
1                  500           1,500
2          1,200           3,600
3           2,500           7,500
4           3,460        10,380
5           3,806        11,418
6          4,187        12,561

11           6,743        20,229
12           7,418        22,254

14           8,975        26,925

18       13,141        39,423
19       14,455        43,365
20        15,901        47,703

Storehouse Capacity
Increased capacity at every level with increased rate of growth for the first 10 levels.  The storehouse has more than doubled in capacity at L20.

The Yellow and Green lines are the Delta (the Rate of Change) and the Delta-Delta (the Rate of Change of the Rate of Change).  If this doesn't make sense to you, don't worry! The numbers below are the key thing.

The storehouse capacity progression is now as follows:

Lvl Previous New
1  1,000  1,500
2  1,200  1,700
3                 1,400 2,100
4      1,647 2,900
5           2,142            4,300
6           2,784           6,500
7           3,620           9,700
8           4,706        14,100
9           6,117        19,900
10           7,953        27,300
11        10,339        36,500
12        13,441        47,700
13       17,473        61,100
14        22,715         76,900
15        29,530         95,300
16       38,389    116,500
17       49,906    140,700
18       64,878    168,100
19        84,341    198,900
20    109,644    233,300

Library Research Production

The library now produces research at a much faster production growth for first 11 levels, using a flat second order derivative and linear first order derivative; continuing at previous production rate at level 12.  Basically this means that the line of progression - the amount you increase by with each level - is now much smoother and faster for L1 through L11, as visible in the graph below.

The library's research progression is now as follows:

Lvl Previous New
1                          4                          4
2                          5                         9
3                          7                      15
4                     10                      22
5                     14                     30
6                     19                      39
7                     26                      49
8                    36                       60
9                     49                      72
10                     67                      85
11                     91                      99
12                  122                   122

LIKE... BUTTER SCRAPED OVER TOO MUCH BREAD
EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY - CHANGES TO RESOURCE PLOT PRODUCTION
Lumberjack, Clay Pit, Iron Mine and Quarry now have much faster production growth for first 9 levels, using a flat second order derivative and linear first order derivative; continuing at previous production rate at level 10.  Again, this means that your resource plots from L1 to L9 will produce more than they used to, and will level up in a smoother progression.

The resource plot production progression is now as follows:

Lvl Previous New
0                          2                         2
1                         4                         7
2                        6                      15
3                     10                      26
4                    16                      40
5                    25                      57
6                    39                     77
7                    60                  100
8                     91                  126
9                135                  155
10                  197                197

WHAT ABOUT ELEVENSES? LUNCHEON? AFTERNOON TEA?
EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY - CHANGES TO FARMYARD PLOT PRODUCTION 

The farmyard now produces food much faster for the first 9 levels, using a flat second order derivative and linear first order derivative; continuing at previous production rate at level 10. See above for explanation!

The farmyard food production is now as follows:

Lvl Previous New
0 2 2
1 3 7
2 5 14
3 8 23
4 13 34
5 20 47
6 31 62
7 48 79
8 72 98
9 107 119
10 156 156
