Version 1.018 is out, and I hardly know where to begin, this one is so large. – The way that races are born, mature, and die has been tuned quite a bit, and is more interesting and better balanced. A lot of folks won’t notice much effect from this directly, but it’s a subtle thing…
Version 1.017 is out at long last! Sorry for the delay with this one, but it’s packed full of goodies. There were a number of things that just needed more testing time internally, or to all be completed together, before we publicly released them. So what’s new? – Well, there’s a whole host of smaller…
This one focuses on polishing recently-introduced rough edges (mainly in terms of balance) and in general is the first step in a new effort to fix The Bug (10/10 being winnable). We don’t want that setting to be an immediate “you die in the first 30 minutes, no questions asked” button, but things have clearly…
Version 1.016 is now out, and has a huge amount of refinement to solar balance, autoresolve, and combat balance. The way that races get techs is also a ton more clear, which also should help further clarify the uses of raw resources for players, too. In the past version there was unfortunately a very nasty…
Version 1.015 is now out, and continues to refine both how the AI acts on the solar map, and how you can impact it. You now have much greater power to mow down a bunch of AI armadas at a planet if you so desire, for instance. And the AI now takes a much more…
Version 1.013 is now out, and is kind of all over the place. I went through our issue tracker and was just really in kind of hoover mode today, cleaning up all the little bits and pieces that I could easily deal with, rather than focusing on anything singularly big. Makes it a relatively easier…
This one is kind of a beast. With TLF doing so well most of our time is going in that direction, but since it’s doing well we also have a little time to spare for stuff like AIW. Which is nice. The biggest individual thing is a major revision of the Alternate Champion Progress feature…
Version 1.012 is now out, and I have to say, I’m really excited about this one. The biggest thing is that you can now tell why races are going to war when they do. But you can also see a lot of things about why you can’t get races to go to war when you…
Version 1.010 is now out, and has a ton of good stuff. The biggest thing is that you now wield vastly more power on the solar map — your actions matter more. How? The most of the simulation actions are slowed way down, so that your actions don’t get washed away in the butterfly effect…
