What’s new in 1.0?

We briefly went over some 1.0 changes before, but here’s a summary again. The full changelog is too big to share here, but we’ll post it underneath this announcement (in the Steam discussion). Also note that, while this update is technically compatible with previous versions of the game, we do recommend starting a new save file, as new content will not appear in your old games.

AI improvements

AI now values its capital city much more and cities in general
AI now takes Trust into consideration when selling technology
AI doesn’t value technology as much, making it harder for the player to get a lot of credits by selling technology to other factions
AI now better evaluates whether or not to use diplomatic options like praise, denounce, etc and now won’t use them when they barely met a player
AI now makes buying and selling seals much harder, and now also takes how powerful both factions are into consideration when valueing these
And way, way more.

Other changes

Selected units now show the diplomatic status of the faction that controls it relative to the player
Made Land Portals less likely to be generated
Added option in city panel to show tile yields outside borders, useful when building residential districts and planning ahead to the tiles the city could grow to

Added Factions presence info when a planet is selected
Made several Districts faster to build
Decreased cost of university and Military Academy local projects
Players can now block all non critical communications from the AI such as proposals by using the respective option in the diplomacy menu
