The first patch is out, focusing on fixing a couple of crashes with the game, which we hope to have squashed and we did some balance and interface improvements
Bugs:
- Fixed crash in tutorial 4
- Music problem on windows Vista. If the music fails to load the game will start but no music or sound effects will be played
- Fixed a number of typos.
Research:
- Added icons that tells the user what benefits a new technology has
- Added information on how many turns left
- Slightly reduced the amount of research points most technologies require
- New background art
Solar System overview:
- Added an icon when a resource has been exploited to make that clearer
General Map:
- Added a top bar that displays research and net commerce, we are open to more suggestions on what else should go up there
Military industrial complex:
- New background art
- A warning is given when a ship is ordered if the empire has a negative net commerce rate. We will add soon that you won't be able to build a ship if your research rate is negative
- Slightly increased the amount of XP you receive per ship built
Diplomacy:
- Slightly reduced the number of turns for diplomatic actions to happen
- New background art
