18.2 Notes

[Rieddogg]

Just upgraded from 16 to 18.2 due to lack of internet connection.

Overall, the game is much more entertaining, but a few problems I noted.

I suffered a game crash from the diplomacy screen. I had just met another faction, offered a research pact and they responded with a counter offer. When I clicked to find out the counter offer, the game crashed.

Occasionally, the changes in the new music can be a little jarring, as if it was forced to switch mid song.

After eliminating an opposing faction, one former was left behind. I was unable to destroy it after the fact and it just roamed the game. This didn't really effect anything, just seemed strange.

I forgot to write down the name of it, but the new device that allows you to tame creatures seems overpowered. I got it early and dominated the continent I was on with little effort. Maybe a toning down to a 25 or 50 percent chance of taming? Or causing the creatures to have an upkeep? I had over 20 drones, plus spitters and queens very early. I only had to build five units with the device and went from there. Also, I noticed it only works on Spitters, Drones and Queens. Is that intentional?

Thanks for the input!

A few crashes and hopefully the unit staying alive issue should be fixed in the next version.

Xenomorph Pheropod device has -50% power to balance it. Which means a unit is at half as strong as it is without a device. I would hate to make it chance based. In the next versino you'll be able to convert any native alien.

I hadn't noticed any loss of power to the units using it. Could be me just missing something, though.
