If you're feeling brave and ready to experience new bugs before anyone else does (and hints of features hiding somewhere in the background), feel free to give the "Public beta" channel a try - and give the new update a try!
Here's a brief changelog:
- Religions in the game! See the rise and fall of faiths! Will the Rationis Lumine come to terms with the followers of Pingoism?
- Emperor mode improvements, including:
- Direct diplomatic window where you can propose peace / alliances etc
- War room - where you can see ongoing wars and allocate generals to fronts
- An option to "step" forward time in smaller increment
- A help screen with all the shortcuts in the game (check it out!)
- Fullscreen mode
- Webbed starlanes
- Shortcut for "Escape" button to close current window
- Setting to disable ALL WILL BE ASHES (ok you guys finally get what you want!)
- Setting to disable Conspiracies (they are a bit underwhelming right now anyway)
- Death match mode - create lists of empires to pre-put in the game
- Fix to show auras when stars are disabled (e.g. show wealth on earth maps)
- A button to make ships fleet commanders
- A big Giant Wheel
