    206. Units in unit.xml: Add a [noparse]bRegular[/noparse] flag (after [noparse]bGeneral[/noparse] in the order) to denote a "regular military" unit. The flag makes the unit count as "regular military" in the stats, and the AI assumes that non-regular units are worth less.
    207. Event Links in eventLink.xml:
    208. [noparse]aeSubjectClasses[/noparse] is no longer needed. The link will save all subjects in the triggering event and figure out the classes by itself.
    209. If you only want some subjects saved, put [noparse]iNumSubjects[/noparse] on the link (in [noparse]eventLink.xml[/noparse]) to save that many subjects.
    210. Use [noparse]iNumSubjects = 0[/noparse] if you don’t care about any subjects and are only using the link as a shortcut to trigger something else.
    211. For immediate event links, tag the link with [noparse]bImmediate = 1[/noparse] in [noparse]eventLink.xml[/noparse]. Use [noparse]EventLinkAdd[/noparse] in [noparse]eventOption.xml[/noparse]. [noparse]EventLinkStart[/noparse] will be removed in the future.
