Hey everyone!
We are happy to announce the release date for the Victory Update. The update will go live on the 31st of August! The update will contain the following features:
- Victory conditions! You can either win through domination (Military Victory) or by successfully starting an expedition with an Exo spaceship (Science Victory).
- AI opponents! This has been a heavily requested feature and its coming with this update. You will be able to add "Bots" both in singleplayer and multiplayer matches when creating a new game. You also be able to add Bots into existing multiplayer savegames instead of the player that played that faction before. Bots will behave just like a normal player and they will build their own colonies, ships and maybe even attack you.
- Custom faction flags. This is also a community requested feature and it will allow you to create and customize your own flag which will be displayed on many buildings in the game.
- Colony shares. Another community request which will allow you to buy shares of other players colonies or even buy their colonies outright if you already own all four shares. Each owned share will also get you a cut of the colonies revenue.
- Pirates! Another community request! You will be able to enable and selection a difficulty for pirates during world creation and they will raid some of your cargo ships from time to time.
- Terraforming! Another community request! This will allow you to build a terraformer and modify the type of a tile. (Fill oceans or remove mountains and more!)
