DD# 237 The Tribe That “Does Not Exist”

Hi, everyone, welcome to another week's developer's diary.

This week, the story continues in Dana. With the imminent threats from the machines temporarily stopped, the path to the north can now reopen. However, things will not be so simple. In this week's story, we step into the grim, dark side of the Nise Federation's history. There are things about genocide, cross-species breeding, censored history, information quarantine, and unnecessary cruelty that are all totally suitable for all 7-year-old kids, according to Stellaris. :D

It's time for the wolf pack to resurface.

People who have played one of the DLCs of SAPC++ may already know what I am talking about. It's the tribe of [redacted] that in all official records of the Nise Federation does not exist as their very existence contradicts the legend of the ancient hero king they are worshiping.

Thus, the North Legion is here to [redacted]. However, as someone as clever as a certain count, he has his own plan and may not carry out this order of [redacted]. Thus, the North Legion is currently actually [redacted] with this tribe of [redacted].

Anyway, to progress the story, we now need some more characters.

Unlike the Nise Federation, which rapidly modernized its arsenal after making contact with the outside world, the tribe of [redacted] still seems primitive.
Yet, appearance can be deceiving. Otherwise, they will not be able to hold their ground against many of their enemies. In the upcoming stories, you may learn their secrets and history from another perspective.

Of course, they also have some legendary returning characters whose names echo from this game's past.

In addition to the story content, this week's updates include things such as 15 new skill icons...

...and machine voices that announce whether an elevator is going up or down. Please feel free to find all the details in the full update log below.

Meanwhile, the support to Ukraine has also been fully restored this week.

It's another step to build a beautiful future for this legendary game. There will be a lot more to come!
