1.6 UPDATE - FEATURES AND IMPROVEMENTS HIGHLIGHTS
New Victory Conditions
In addition to the existing Election and Alliance victory conditions, and the traditional winner conquers all way to win (now called Conquest Victory), the game now offers four completely new ways to win: Wonder, Domination, Science, and Score victory conditions. Here's a breakdown:
To win a Wonder victory, you need to control a certain number of Galactic Wonders, which are super projects built in colonies.
To win via Domination, you must control a defined number of the original homeworlds of the playing races.
To win a Science victory, your empire has to reach a combined ultra tech level, by researching the most advanced technologies in each research field, a certain amount of times.
A Score victory is achieved by whoever has the highest score in the last turn of the game.
The new victory conditions are configurable. For example, the number of wonders required for the Wonder victory, the percentage of territory that needs to be owned for a Conquest victory, or the number of turns for a Score victory.
Balance and QoL Improvements
Included in the new features and improvements is a revamped 'Deep Space Initiative' knowledge culture perk, that now provides free remote exploration on adjacent sectors to the ones just explored. The 'Powerful Creatures' planet special now also provides an empire-wide ground combat bonus. And, the Hall of Fame can now be reset.
There's also the ability to adjust the wormhole lines' brightness (including disabling them); the ability to move weapon slots up and down in the ship design screen; the possibility of listing leaders by their status (unassigned or assigned first). Also, hovering over torpedoes and missiles will now highlight the ships' they're targeting, just to name a few changes.
And, much more!
There are also many other UI and assorted QoL improvements and bug fixes, many of which are in response to player feedback.
