RELEASE NOTES [1.4.0]



ADDITIONS [Shiftercontent]

  • Added Pearls of Auriga.

    A pure outgrowth of Auriga, they distill the living essence of the planet. Both powerful and beautiful, the Pearls appear only during the Dark Season and can be put to many wondrous purposes, such as impacting the effects of the Dark Season or building beautiful new districts.



  • Added Allayi Faction.

    To survive the horrors of the Dust Wars, the Allayi scattered themselves to the cold places of Auriga. Now that the Guardians have awakened they are coming together, hoping to save Auriga and rebuild the life they once had.



  • Added Altar of Auriga screen.

    The Altar of Auriga is a sacred building to those who live upon her. It is a center of ancient power from the times even before the Endless.



  • Added Blessings of Auriga.

    By bringing Auriga's Pearls and unlocking the Altar's Blessings, powerful magical effects can be applied to a city, region, or empire.



  • Added a new season management and new Winter difficulties, available in the Advanced Settings of a new game (old system remains as a game choice).

RELEASE NOTES - "PACT OF THE SEAS" / "TEMPEST" [1.5.0]



ADDITIONS [ALL VERSIONS]

  • Added ability to trigger battles on the ocean tiles.
    The land and sea theatres of war are kept apart to allow for slightly different mechanics and to make balancing simpler. Doing so also avoid degenerate edge-case battlegrounds with insufficient available land or sea tiles to make the battle interesting.


  • Added Privateers' reinforcement system (privateers can be reinforced and can reinforce).


  • Added a new victory condition: Shared Victory.


  • Added a new game option for the faction randomization at the start of a game.


  • Added new attitude score modifiers. The AI empires now reacts when:
    • An enemy, an ally or a friend of the AI has been eliminated by the player.
    • An empire known by the AI has been eliminated by the player.
    • Third party cities are being taken, especially those of allies.
    • The player is at war with an AI's ally.
    • The AI has witnessed an act of betrayal from the player against a player's ally or friend.
    • The player is near to achieving any one of the active victory conditions.
    • The player is allied with an AI’s enemy.
    • The player and AI have been at peace or in an alliance for a protracted period of time.


  • Added new key bindings in order to ease the use of the Steam Controller.


  • Added a 64-bit version for Mac OSX.


ADDITIONS [TEMPEST]

  • Added 4 classes of Fomorians ships.
    Naval units can be merged with land units on water tiles. Naval units can be garrisoned on Fortresses. Naval units will spawn on the customizable city location (Dry Dock).


  • Added 60+ items belonging to the new naval equipment, providing new effects on oceans.


  • Added Fortresses (3 Citadels and 33 Facilities).
    Sea Fortresses are strategic locations on the water for players to fight over. They are a focal point for naval warfare as they provide powerful economic and strategic bonuses. Some of their empires’ strategic and luxury resources will now come from their facilities rather than from land-based deposits. Managing to control every fortress in a region should grant still greater rewards.


  • Added Sunken Ruins.


  • Added a new Army action: Dive.


  • Added 50+ naval quests (through Fortresses and Sunken Ruins).


  • Added a new Major Faction: the Morgawr.
    The Morgawr are a mysterious, malevolent force from the deep. Their powers are in mind control and curses, rather than military, economic, or industrial strength. They are out for themselves, seeking only to evolve, grow, and climb all the way to the stars. Execution of their own destiny is what is important to them, and things such as diplomacy and war are tools to achieve this.


  • Added a new trait: Dissent.
    Pacified Minor Faction villages can be instigated to rise up and cause trouble by the faction having this trait.


  • Added a new trait: Catspaw.
    Roaming Minor Faction armies can be controlled by the faction having this trait.


  • Added a new trait: Black Spot.
    Put the black spot to an empire which may be attacked regardless of its diplomatic relations towards all empires. Eliminating its units will give Dust.


  • Added weather effects impacting fleets on the map and in battle.
    The sea weather layer will make strategic and tactical movement and placement more interesting, and should also emphasize the dangerous, fickle, fluctuating nature of oceanic territories.


  • Added a new fleet action, unlocked by the Artillery capacity: Coastal Bombardment.
  • Added a new starting city improvement: Coastal Battery.


  • From the depths, an unspeakable horror arises.


  • Added 4 Tempest in-game soundtracks.


CHANGES [ALL VERSIONS]

  • AI now takes into account the strategic and luxury resources it and the other empire have in stock and produce per turn when estimating wealth (in order to evaluate diplomatic terms). Balancing of commodities versus technologies and contracts.

  • Added 5% of world regeneration to quest armies.
  • Decreased from +50% to +40% the bonus granted to Minor factions in the global quest "Minor Faction, Major Pain".
