At last. Version 1.1 is here with many wished-for gameplay adjustments and bug fixes. Get it by simply logging in with your current game and it will automatically start updating itself. You can also grab the whole game from the download section.
Except what’s listed in the previous news item we’d like to highlight these changes:
- Bonuses now applies even if a factory has no basic production value (BPV) or is without power.
- The price of goods are set to the average trade value after each auction, except during the last round.
- Pressing Enter will focus the game chat and the focus will not leave the chat until you either press Escape or click the game window. Please make post in the forum and tell us what you think of this.
- You can hold down your button in the land grant to grab the first available plot of land. If two players grab the same plot at the same time the player with the lower rank gets it.
- In Settings you can now choose not to show computer player turns. This will greatly reduce waiting time when playing solo and can be switched on and off during a game.
- Minor changes to Mechtron’s A.I.
Lobby:
- Games which have already started are grayed out in the game lobby.
- If you try to host a game but our master server can’t connect to your computer, probably due to an issue with port forwarding, then a warning will be displayed and your game won’t show up in the lobby game list.
Website:
- Global score and rank on the website are calculated a little differently. The rank is primarily based on the number games won and then secondarily on the percentage of games won.
Also a lot of bugs and other issues have been fixed. If you would happen to run into any problems with version 1.1 please make a post on our bug reporting board.
Thank you for you patience while waiting for this new release. Have fun!
