1.03.54

from Stardock Forums
1.03.54 is updated. Definitely get this one as it takes care of that weird economic bug.

1.03.54:
Fixes:
+ Arceans were trying to hijack civilian trade ships to defend their colonies which resulted in eradic trade revenue. Trade ships are civilian controlled, governments (human or computer) are not allowed to control them. Fixed.
+ Crash bug with string parsing fixed (yearly update).

1.03.53:
Tweaks:
+ AI trading for money tweaked a bit
+ Arcean AI defends planets better
+ Trade Goods now more valuable for trade

Bug Fixes:
+ Fixed Range Ability Bonus at start
+ Fixed Luck to be +25%
+ Social/Military Production Abilities now work as designed (round off error addressed)
+ Torian AI constructor madness addressed
+ Economics tested (no bug found, trade income can vary from turn to turn. In 1.03, the AI is much better about building starbases that pump up their trade so players are seeing more variance).

A long weekend to spend on playing the game awaits :D :CONGRAT:

It sounds like Brad created a super AI that went out of control :D

Oh man... I can't keep up with these updates, not that I'm complaining :)
Hey Frogboy... Go get some sleep man, you've earned it. We don't want our favorite developer dropping dead on us :)

Any idea if save games from 1.03 compatible with these?

I have a gigantic galaxy I have been working on for 2 days and don't really want to lose it.... :notsure:

Is the startup screen political party scrollbar issue (ie scroll bar doesn't work, only 6 parties selectable) fixed or planned to be fixed soon ?

If you want to be completely sure jl333, I wouldn't try my luck if I were you. Just finish this game and then update it.

Also read the sticky posted by Brad (aka Frogboy).

Can someone check to see if the evil random event when colonizing a planet that gives you a +research bonus works now? In 1.02.049 it doesn't. The way to spot it is to click on the Details button of the planet screen, the planet description text in the middle will have any bonuses the planet has listed at the top.

It's just depressing to see that +49% research bonus pop up and not get anything. :)

*laughs* That's great! I'd be doing that too if i could! AI getting a little too smart for it's own good? :)

"Economics tested (no bug found, trade income can vary from turn to turn. In 1.03, the AI is much better about building starbases that pump up their trade so players are seeing more variance)."

I have seen the 'economics bug' in my latest game on a huge map. I checked my bc before ending my turn (small positive) and then immediately after the computer finished the AI's turns (again, some small number, maybe still positive, maybe negative). But my cash reserves have been drained by like 100+ bc. Are you saying that between the end of my previous turn and the beginning of my next turn, the trade can go down 100+ bcs and then swing back again?

Somehow I think archiving all the updates makes me spend more money on CDs then on the game itsself. *LOL*

Garret: Fixed in 1.03.54

All 1.03 saves should work with each other.

Frogboy,
Ah, so apparently I was seeing the 'Arcean hijack' hijinx. In any case, excellent work on finding/fixing these bugs so quickly!

"Torian AI constructor madness addressed"

I thought tht was kinda kool. Went thru a group with a scout and it was like minnows swarming around a worm. ;)
