5.716 Reaper Forge

Full release notes here.

This is more updates to the Forge of Empires mod.

Forge Of Empires (Formerly Known As Sidekicks)

Scourge Infused Empire

  • Change the Peltian Greater Fortress to hopefully cap its range.

Armada

  • Add mark 7 to terran and kilrathi rangers.
  • If a player clicks very quickly they can bypass the "only one mine per planet" code; the game will now automatically clean that up if it happens.
  • Armada Flagships won't level up if they are actively hacking.
  • Science has been too scarce for the Armada. Armada will now get some science by fighting its enemies. You can hack a Vein to generate a powerful ship worth a lot of science.
  • Buff Armada starting resources a bit.
  • Nerf base metal income. I'd like the player to want Metal Mines.
  • Nerf ranger build time.
  • Terran ships all do a bit more damage.
  • When upgrading Terran ships with science, increase the amount of damage granted and decrease the amount of tankiness granted.
  • Kilrathi ships are all a bit tankier.
  • When upgrading Kilrathi ships with science, decrease the amount of damage granted and increase the amount of tankiness granted. These changes are intended to be a buff to the Armada (increased overall power level), and to help lean those races more into their intended identities.

DZ Empire

  • Base-tier Merkismathrs are now automatically replaced for the player with non-phasing versions; this is a bit of a nerf, I think, but it's really annoying as a player to have a ton of your strength phased out when you first enter a planet. The fancy Merkismathr versions keep their original phasing attributes.
  • Fix a DZ moon bug where it would build armada mines. Give the DZ Sidekick/Empire a bit more income.
  • DZ Sidekick/Empire can build all upgrades even if their intensity is lower than would be allowed for a regular DZ.

Dyson Empire

  • Reaper Larvae should try less hard to spawn on planets with Dyson Spheres.
  • Dyson Empire enemies now indicate how much Cuendillar they are worth.
