Hexarchy News

We've added new settings to single player skirmishes and private multiplayer matches. This is both to allow players to customize their games and to test potential changes for the default mode. Please give us your feedback on how games go with different settings.

[h3]Misc[/h3]

• Wonders are now built on hexes outside of cities
  
• New menu system (work in progress)
  
• All single player skirmish settings are available in private multiplayer games
  

[h3]New Settings[/h3]

• Bot Difficulty (take "hard" and "insane" with a huge grain of salt for now. More AI improvements to come)
  
• Bot Aggressiveness
  
• Disable bots (multiplayer only)
  
• Fog of War
  
• Always Mobilize (except Settler)
  
• Require 3 hexes between cities
  

Thanks everyone!

That concludes this play test. Thank you, testers!

We've received a whole lot of feedback, suggestions, and bug reports. We have a lot to go through and a ton of work to do. We're continually impressed by how thoughtful the community's feedback is - it inspires us to make Hexarchy the best game it can be.

It won't be long until the next play test so stay tuned. If you're not on Discord, we invite you to join the ongoing discussion with other players and the devs: http://tinyurl.com/hexarchy

[h3]Multiplayer Stats[/h3]

For those of you interested in multiplayer, here's some metrics from the multiplayer games during the play test:






It's a priority for us to ensure that there are multiple pathways to victory in a game, so we split all of the completed multiplayer games into two groups - where the winner captured at least one enemy city and where the winner did not. Here is some data comparing those two groups:

[h3]Misc[/h3]

• Changing the resource icon size in the menu will now update the size of the icons as you change it
  

[h3]Bug Fixes[/h3]

• Fixed a bug in multiplayer where an eliminated player could hang the game for the remaining players
  
• Fixed an issue where you could click a Citizen token behind a card in your hand
  
• Fixed an issue where resource overlay icons could show up on top of the fog of war
  
• Resolved most issues with the resource overlay not updating on events
  

Thanks everyone!

[h3]Misc[/h3]

• Added a menu option to keep the resource overlay on between turns
  

[h3]Bug Fixes[/h3]

• Fixed a bug where canceling a card play could lead to the UI being frozen
  
• Fixed a graphical glitch where a card could be partially dissolved
  
• Fixed an issue where a Citizen would sometimes be immediately dropped after being picked up
  
• Fixed an issue where Citizen slots would not appear if a Settler hex is selected
  
• No longer says "Invalid Order" when placing a Citizen back in its original slot
  
• Fixed a bug where a Charge that kills a previously unseen unit could cause the UI to hang
  

Thanks everyone!
