Today we are releasing a new update to Horizon with numerous changes, improvements and additions. Previously saved games remain compatible with the new update but to fully experience the changes requires starting a new game. We hope you enjoy the new changes! - Horizon Team
New Features, improvements and changes
* A much improved A.I. when managing fleets for attacks or when rallying to defend systems. A more aggressive A.I. when it comes to expansion and diplomacy
* A re-balanced economy and race relations/tolerance system to make games strategically more challenging and progress more evenly through the different stages of gameplay
* A new refit feature has been added to easily retrofit ships and starbases at nearby shipyards
* Scanning system extended to allow the detection of ships and fleets from several sectors away on the galaxy map, based on the current tech level
* A new logistics mechanic added that limits fleet supply range and slows down early expansion and contact
* New ship technologies added: Deep space scanner, Logistics, Auxiliary Pods, Survey Instruments. Other techs have seen improvements such as Engine types and generators while Armor types have gained resistances/vulnerabilities to certain types of weapons
* UI icons have been added with tooltip information to make it easier to distinguish surveyed planets, planetary reports, resources, quest related items, population and ground troops on galaxy view
* Diplomacy tooltips have been added explaining treaties and pacts
* Significantly improved Galaxy map performance for late games
* French language support added
And many other minor fixes and improvements...
