▒ █ We're a professional team of dedicated sceners with big mark █ █
█ █ under sceners. We believe on the ground idealism of the root █ █
█ █ of the real old school scene. We do all this for fun and █ █
█ █ nothing else. We don't earn anything on our hobby, as we do █ █
█ █ this for the competition and the heart of what got the scene █ █

█ █ Armada 2526 v1.024 Update █ █
█ █ ========================= █ █
█ █ █ █
█ █ New Features: █ █
█ █ █ █
█ █ █ █
█ █ Automatic Population Transport █ █
█ █ █ █
█ █ This feature has been added to reduce the micromanagement █ █
█ █ involved transporting population around the galaxy █ █
█ █ █ █
█ █ - Transports can be placed on automatic control. They will █ █
█ █ then automatically shuttle population between your colonies █ █
█ █ to maximize growth. █ █
█ █ █ █
█ █ - A button has been added on the fleet review tab to allocate █ █
█ █ ships to automatic control. █ █
█ █ █ █
█ █ - They can be placed under manual control either from the █ █
█ █ fleet review tab, or by explicitly given them an order to go █ █
█ █ somewhere. █ █
█ █ █ █
█ █ - For each colony, you can set whether the automated ships can █ █
█ █ import or export population. There are separate settings for █ █
█ █ your own, and alien races. █ █
█ █ █ █
█ █ - The automatically controlled ships attempt to maximize █ █
█ █ population growth. You may want to move population around █ █
█ █ manually to build up colonies quickly for strategic reasons. █ █
█ █ █ █
█ █ █ █
█ █ Research And Bureaucracy Scaled To Game Size █ █
█ █ █ █
█ █ These changes are primarily to support players who like to █ █
█ █ play large games █ █
█ █ █ █
█ █ - Bureaucracy has been reduced, capped and related to map █ █
█ █ size. █ █
█ █ █ █
█ █ - A game option has been added to further reduce or eliminate █ █
█ █ bureaucracy. █ █
█ █ █ █
█ █ - By default the rate of technology research is scaled to map █ █
█ █ size and number of players █ █
█ █ █ █
█ █ - The technology research rate can be set manually for custom █ █
█ █ games, and can be specified in scenario files. █ █
█ █ █ █
█ █ █ █
█ █ Mod Support █ █
█ █ █ █
█ █ These changes make it easy to apply mods to the game without █ █
█ █ changing the original files. You can have multiple different █ █
█ █ mods installed together, and even apply multiple mods together █ █
█ █ (for instance a mod that changes the UI appearance, with a mod █ █
█ █ that changes game play balance). You can make shortcuts to █ █
█ █ play the game with different mods applied. █ █
█ █ █ █
█ █ - Mods can completely replace game files, or merely add new █ █
█ █ items. See the forums for more details on modding. █ █
█ █ █ █
█ █ - Militia remove population if modded to have a population █ █
█ █ cost. █ █
█ █ █ █
█ █ - A new capability ôInitial Populationö allows Ark Ships to █ █
█ █ found colonies that start with more than one population. █ █
█ █ █ █
█ █ - The root of the save game name, can be set from the command █ █
█ █ line using the ûsr option █ █
█ █ █ █
█ █ - Fixed bug that prevented buildings that only produce ground █ █
█ █ units. █ █
█ █ █ █
█ █ █ █
█ █ Balance Changes █ █
█ █ █ █
█ █ The main thrust of these changes is to promote bigger, more █ █
█ █ interesting battles, greater use of ground units, and more █ █
█ █ research specialization. █ █
█ █ █ █
█ █ - Adjusted Victory Conditions. Most notably for Walden and █ █
█ █ Hoon Yon. █ █
█ █ - Low tax popularity bonus increased to 3 █ █
█ █ █ █
█ █ - Tech research time increased 50% █ █
█ █ █ █
█ █ - Specialized labs level increased research level by 50% to █ █
█ █ cancel the above change. General labs are now less useful. █ █
█ █ █ █
█ █ - Defense units defense value doubled. █ █
█ █ █ █
█ █ - Ground unit strength increased 40%, both attack and defense. █ █
█ █ █ █
█ █ - Ship upkeep costs reduced 30%. Some other ship factor █ █
█ █ modifications █ █
█ █ █ █
█ █ - Reduced upkeep costs for Security Centers, Entertainment █ █
█ █ Centers, and Decontamination plants █ █
█ █ █ █
█ █ - AI Expands less aggressively on easy level. █ █
█ █ █ █
█ █ █ █
█ █ Minor Improvements █ █
█ █ █ █
█ █ - Increased max map size to 300 x 300. Added a setting to █ █
█ █ allow advanced players to override this and play on bigger █ █
█ █ maps █ █
█ █ █ █
█ █ - AI offers of support no longer require anything in return. █ █
█ █ █ █
█ █ - Custom game settings now saved █ █
█ █ █ █
█ █ - Bureaucracy level game option █ █
█ █ █ █
█ █ - Special screen capture mode enabled for release builds. █ █
█ █ █ █
█ █ - Improved AI for population management █ █
█ █ █ █
█ █ - Improved AI for transport and assault ship construction █ █
█ █ █ █
█ █ - AI now concentrates ground units at strategic points. Keeps █ █
█ █ assault ships with them to facilitate ground assaults. █ █
█ █ █ █
█ █ - Fixed a problem that often caused the AI to abandon large █ █
█ █ attacks. Combined with the above changes, this makes the AI █ █
█ █ a more interesting opponent. █ █
█ █ █ █
█ █ - Expanded range of techs that AI will not trade with players █ █
█ █ it dislikes, mistrusts, or is planning to attack. █ █
█ █ █ █
█ █ - AI calls ships back from hovering over neutral colonies █ █
█ █ █ █
█ █ - AI remembers tech and trade missions it has asked for or █ █
█ █ offered, and doesnÆt keep repeating the same offers or █ █
█ █ demands. █ █
█ █ █ █
█ █ - AI likes to make peace in inactive wars. █ █
█ █ █ █
█ █ - Auto resolve improved for case of Corvettes vs Militia and █ █
█ █ other turkey shoot scenarios █ █
█ █ █ █
█ █ - New Version of Slim DX. █ █
█ █ █ █
█ █ - Use of precompiled shaders. █ █
█ █ █ █
█ █ - Error logging for rendering errors, and more resistance to █ █
█ █ rendering errors. █ █
█ █ █ █
█ █ - Higher right drag initiation threshold █ █
█ █ █ █
█ █ - Battles don't end immediately after last ship dies █ █
█ █ █ █
█ █ - Missile Cruisers stand off and fire. Shots more distributed █ █
█ █ █ █
█ █ - Ship to ship engagement range depends on weapon range. █ █
█ █ █ █
█ █ - Minimap visible area color improved. █ █
█ █ █ █
█ █ - Greatly improved AI turn time on large maps. █ █
█ █ █ █
█ █ - Added improved tooltips for fleets and buildings █ █
█ █ █ █
█ █ - Colonies are named after stars when all colony names have █ █
█ █ been exhausted. █ █
█ █ █ █
█ █ - Races that are more than the first level of Xenophobic wonÆt █ █
█ █ make defensive alliances with players of other races. █ █
█ █ █ █
█ █ - Improved the default system for naming saved game files. █ █
█ █ Files sorted by date as default. █ █

█ █ - Fixed problems with some files not checking the mod path █ █
█ █ █ █
█ █ - Fixed a problem with the AI not clearing out its █ █
█ █ intelligence observations. Reduces file sizes of long █ █
