If no window appears when you start Pandora please kill it in the task manager and start PandoraUpdater.exe or reinstall.

Thanks for patch 0.11.1.

I haven't played for last two weeks as I was sick. So yesterday I stated up Pandora. New patch, new game, and already wondering why I'm steamrolling everything. Now I know I'm not that awesome as I thought.

Cheers!

I'd love to hear feedback on the new research tree.

I'd love to hear feedback on the new research tree.

That would explain why in the last two games I started next to an observatory and this while playing the University faction.
Actually good you released today a new patch so I would feel incline to start over again and compare it against yesterday. It certainly create a interesting situation when tecs are shuffled around, breaking the routine you have developed. Like colony ship dismantling in the second tier what ruins somewhat early fire rushes.
However last game I had so early access to walkers that I actually skipped tanks all together. I can not really judge on that because the broken unit AI but a thing to keep an eye on.

edit: because of the tec layout skipped this time fire troopers and went with titanium seekers. Let see how this plays out. It's funny when you get colonization fervor right next to the steel plates and titanium plates. The extra resources to build seekers is compensated by the free colonizer.

I seem to be having an issue......game will not let me research anything more. I select something.....it does list it as being researched until next turn where i am asked to pick a new research. and I've now tried every one I have left with the same result.

GREAT game you have here BTW!

Absolutely loving it so far.

Version is great, love the randomised research tree. Naval movement is a bit slow air seems fine some sort of land transport would be good as would the facility to build sea transports instead of just gaining them. you could then arm and armour them possibly at the cost of speed.

[Eyesadi]

Update....loading a saved game seems to have fixed the issue. I can research again! Yea!

Again......You have a classic on your hands here........Very much fun to play and will only improve as you fine tune.

Would like to be able to see some kind of a status screen....I have no idea how well I'm doing.......

Research change is most interesting. Tho a better explanation of just WHAT some of them do would be nice. Now, it's learn by doing.

Just great work to date........

Would it be possible, to make the randomized techtree an option? I personally do not like missing random techs in a game.

Don't worry you won't miss any techs. Not their availability but the layout of the tech tree is randomized.

Dont know if it is supposed to do this, If you destroy a transport at sea with planetary bombardment, the unit within is not destroyed so you end up with tanks/troopers marching across the sea.
