I hope you all enjoyed the mysterious Virtual Endless hero we revealed last time. You will find out more about his role in this add-on if you are patient...
Today, let's focus on two interesting new additions:
- New buildings you guys have unlocked in the Steam Free Weekend Event.
- Victory warnings.
NEW BUILDINGS
Deep Space Facility [G2G vote]
Due to the low gravity vacuum that surrounds asteroids, they provide a perfect location for a centre of research into the uses and effects of low gravitation. A side effect of this knowledge, of course, is the ability to use the technology and the asteroids themselves to improve system defence.
High Energy Array
A series of massive antenna dishes are installed, creating a network of receptors for signals beamed from space. In this case, they can be used to transfer energy -- for instance in microware form -- from orbiting ships to the surface, aiding in the process of post-invasion reconstruction.
VICTORY WARNINGS
You will get warnings in two cases: how far others are to complete a victory [others], and how far you are yourself to complete one [self].
Wonder victory
- Other players: the warning will appear when another player has acquired the technology.
- Self: the warning will appear when you have built 2/5 buildings.
Supremacy victory
In any case, the warning will appear at 60%.
Expansion victory
- Others: when the enemy is at 60%.
- Self: when you are at 55% (We might change this though).
Scientific victory
When an enemy is searching the technology, or when you are yourself about to complete the search for this tech (50%).
Economic victory
- Self: at 75%
- Others: at 80%
Diplomatic victory
- Self: at 90%.
- Others: at 95%.
Score victory
You will get the warning a few turns before the winner is declared, depending on the game speed:
- 25 turns before it reaches 300 turns, on normal.
- 12 turns before it reaches 150 turns, on fast.
- 50 turns before it reaches 450 turns, on slow.
