DR4X News

Wow I just cant stop breaking things can I.
Okay so turns out the misc optimizations that were deployed the other day ALSO broke unit selecting in cases where, for example, treasure was dropped by the unit.
This actually resulted in at least one refund.
This is fixed now.
May the cubes have mercy on my soul.

I also buffed the deploy distance on rogues guilds.

I also workied on the exploration algorithm the AI uses to optimize it more

Resulting in double the speed on all but the first turn in the worst case i could test with and a first turn that runs 33% faster in this same worst case.

Normal big changelog will be up on saturday.

Hey guys! Turns out in my insatiable attempt to optimize the game I broke unit highlighting like 2 days ago.
It is fixed now along with other more minor optimizations added.
Sorry lol

Not so weekly Changelog number 61
So this week I worked on fleshing out some of the more esoteric parts of the game. I also added some useful new features.

I decided to focus on the spooky fun things because with an influx of downloads I don't want there being too many holes in the [NODEOSERROR] (But understand that the game is still in development so its not at all fleshed out. And some things may be added or removed in time.)

So as usual this is just kinda a summary of all the changes from the past couple weeks ignoring some simple changes.

A new build should be available as this post comes out.

Anyway letsa go...


-Your faction name can now handle rich text tags, so if you want to, say, add color to your empire name using or whatever, that will now work.
You can see all the possible basic tags here:
for bold
for italics
to color it red or whatever color you want
You can also change teh size
There are a few bonus secretty ones too and also bonus things you can get with brackets , eg, try
[FRUIT]

-Game is more reactive to your choices

-Added more secretty secret hints
