Re: Public Beta 1.3.6.6 Now Available

Beta 1.3.6.6 seems to start freezing a bit into the game as others mentioned. Done it in both games I've tested as Mortalen. Around 2790-2800 for me.

Re: Unofficial Roadmap Tracker

Looking forward to get some news about the Securan and Naxxilian factions. Hope DLC:s still are profitable enough to get more factions.

Re: 1.3.6.1 Public Beta Available

Testing the new 1.3.6.1 version now. Good changes! Saw that you can right click to crasch research now on the popup in the infobar. Maybe added earlier but saw it now. Small additional suggestion for this, could you also make the "xx%" text green instead of white when you can crash research?

Re: 1.3.6.0 Public Beta Available


I also have 12 systems with red resources, 15 construction ships idle, and 128k in the private economy. Save and reload did not correct. Manually queueing after save and reload did correct.


I noticed this too. I had a bunch of queued resource sites, about 8 construction ships, 6 were idle "no ...

Re: 1.3.6.0 Public Beta Available

Started a new game with 1.3.6.0 as Mortalen on standard settings (only changed galaxy size etc). At 2810 a Dhayut empire declared war against me and their ships started to move in extremly fast. I had long range radar and checked one fleet, and all ships moved at 1 188 000 in speed. Which was about ...

Re: 1.3.5.8 Public Beta Available

I went back to the previous release version 1.3.4.3 (non-beta). Verified game files on Steam so the game settings was reset. Played a game, then suddenly noticed I saw the whole galaxy without even noticing at first. Went back a few saves and checked when it happened. No galaxy map sharing deals ...

Re: 1.3.5.8 Public Beta Available


That sounds working as intended though? Unless galaxy sharing shouldn't work by proxy?


I've gone back to relese version and is testing if it is similar. I've played a bit before the new beta but It can of course be coincidence due to happy AI giving the option to share the map more than earlier ...

Re: 1.3.5.8 Public Beta Available



I managed to use an older save with about 25% galaxy explored and no galaxy map sharing deals. I played it on fast until I got the map sharing deal from the friendly Ackdarian. I saved the game with the prompt. Then I exited and loaded that game. Accepting the galaxy map share I got what they ...

Re: 1.3.5.8 Public Beta Available



I don't know if this is the answer to galaxy getting revealed. But AI empires seem to be really happy to share galaxy map. The latest game I went into a deal with a single AI empire with map sharing and got to see a big map portion where their empire was but not all. Years later I suddenly got ...

Re: 1.3.5.8 Public Beta Available

I'll check the autosaves. But I set them to autosave seldom. I like to play big maps and the default 5 min save later in game is to often for me. My games almost never crash so I live with the risk. If not, I'll test the new beta and see if same thing happens.

Re: 1.3.5.7 Public Beta Available

Short feedback after two games.

There seems to be a bug where the whole galaxy gets revealed, it happened in both games. First one around 2814 and in the second around 2825.

Galaxy map flags - I don't like it, makes the default map look worse and adds very little. I would instead improve the ...

Re: Mortalen underperformance since the racial overhaul

Mortalen never, or at least very seldom perform well as an AI empire. As you said, playing Mortalen with military dictatorship or feudalism is generally a bad experience. I've run them as republic, and then they perform better, but as you said is a bit out of character.

[humor] Colonizer leechers

During my current game one of my automated fleets cleared a well guarded neboulousa system. I checked the combat and found that there were colonizers from 5 different factions bouncing in and back out (retreating due to enemies). When I defeated the enemies they raced to colonize.

Congratulations ...
