Player Cities
Cities no longer perform their very first update after 24 hours. The first update is now performed after 1 week.
The citizen assessment that a new city (and a city that drops below 10 citizens) performs is now independent of the city update cycle and therefore will no longer delay elections from happening when they are scheduled to do so.
During a city update in which an election takes place, the election is now processed before city contraction/expansion. This ensures that a newly elected mayor gets any mails relevant to the update instead of the old mayor.
Mail is now properly sent to a mayor when a city is first started, after a citizen assessment occurs, any time a citizen is lost or gained, any time a structure is added to a city that wasn't added by the mayor, any time a structure/decoration/terminal/trainer is removed from a city for being outside city limits after city contraction, from a lack of maintenance, or because there were too many for the new city rank
Mail is now properly sent to a player who becomes a citizen via a city's expansion or whose structure is added to a city by any other means
Mail is now sent to all citizens when a mayoral candidate unregisters from an election
A player city must now be rank 3 or higher to set a specialization
A city specialization can now be removed at any time (even when a city is on cooldown for setting a new one)

Adding a non-garden decoration to a player city now has the proper politician skill check
Fixed the info displayed on all of the city reports
City banned players that later become citizens will have their ban automatically removed. Any citizens already banned in their own city will have their bans lifted automatically
A city must now be at least rank 2 in order to have taxes levied. A city contracting to rank 1 will have all tax rates set to zero

Any mayoral candidate that loses their citizenship will now automatically be removed from the race
Whenever a player loses citizenship, their vote in the current mayor election is properly removed
If a mayor is deleted, their city's civic structures are no longer deleted along with them and a new mayor can be elected to take their place
Player city bank terminals, mission terminals, and skill trainers will now only register on the planetary map if their city is registered
A mayor can now align a decoration or mission terminal's facing to north, south, east, or west after it has been placed in the city
A city that doesn't have the funds to pay for it's specialization during it's update will have it removed
A city that doesn't have the funds to pay for it's registration during it's update will be unregistered
A player who has been city banned can no longer use that city's skill trainers or slice that city's mission terminals
City banned players no longer receive the benefit of a city specialization
/cityban, /citypardon, and /grantzoningrights now require both the player issuing the command and the target to be within city limits
When a city contracts, civic structures that required the previous rank are no longer deleted immediately but will be deleted during the following city update if the city does not expand back to the original rank
Skill trainer and mission terminal limits are now enforced when a city contract. Any trainers or terminals beyond the new limits are removed
Garden city rank requirements are now enforced during city updates and gardens are at risk of being destroyed if the city's rank remains below the requirement.

Weer eens kijken!
