Patch 4.211 (02.10.2015) Fixed Bugs:

The new feature "Frequency of Councilmeetings" didn't work properly

AI didn't have to respect cooldowns during the measures "Press Protection Money" and "Offer Building Protection"

Fixed a Bug in the Voodoo-Doll-Script

Some measures couldn't be used because some targets like buildings were "too young"

During trials the evidence now correctly expires if the accuser doesn't appear

The AI of taverns and divehouses didn't work properly because of the "Versengold"-measure

Like in 4.2 now only the applicant can use measures during the council session.

Thesis papers had a much higher range if you used it via cutscene

Fixed a small bug with the mine guards

Fixed a small bug with the royal guards. These guards also will now not attack you if you are the king.

As a workaround stonemasoners will now gather more Stone Blocks at once (but need more time for that). This way it's less likely that they will run between your workshop and the quarry before their inventory is filled.

Characters who have been banished now will leave buildings when their time runs out, so that the guards can do their duty.

Male and female characters can do dance shows again

some additional small fixes.
Patch 4.21 (02.10.2015) Fixed Bugs:

ModLauncher: various bugfixes

number of necessary inhabitants for city-level up was shown incorrectly

sometimes it was possible to have 2 Imperial Cities on a map, what led to the doubled amount of imperial offices

incorrect error message with guild items, if city had not the right to have a guild

while viewing the list of the guildmasters, the city name could have been shown incorrectly

sometimes the message of exhausted resources could be spammed by the game

Error with random events fixed - An error prevented the AI from using toad slime and toad excrement

If Patients didn't have enough money, the hospitals would still lose the medicine. Now hospitals get their medicines back.

Fixed a random bug with town guards, which escorted you forever

The AI gets a new measure which will prevent them from going bankrupt (depending on difficulty setting)

Probability of black death, the ratboy, etc. are now dependent on the difficulty

Fixed an protection money-exploit: If your demand is rejected, you will get a cooldown on further protection money atempts

robbers will no longer follow previously attacked carts

robbers will no longer have "the bag" in their hands, if the robbercamp's inventory is full

dead characters do no longer receive random events

player carts could stop their route, but it is possible that they get stuck because of the "spinning-carts"-bug

Healing diseases no longer removes all additional talent boni due to a workaround. (Many thanks to Sublogic for his input!)

Because of a bug with the pathfinding, caused by the construction of a building, some buildings could no longer be entered. Therefore we developed a workaround, which should work in most of the cases.

Cemetery AI is now working again!

Sims don't get stuck inside the stonemason's building
