- Save/Load Feature - 27 September 2021
Hello everyone, with today's patch you can now finally save & load single- and multiplayer games. If a player disconnects during a multiplayer session you can also use this feature to recreate portals to "falsely" disconnected players. Games will also be autosafed every 30mins (or 5 mins in multiplayer), but this can be changed in the option or deactivated by setting it to 0. Saving for campaigns and challenges is still in the works, because these require to save the current state of the script. Happy Gaming everyone!
- Bug Fixes - 10 August 2021
- Several crash fixes - Croton Blood distribution now updates correctly. Due to some mistakes on my end, one of the previous fixes introduced some new bugs. I'm sorry for the inconvenience. Please tell me, if you still experience issues.
- v1.25 Bugfixes & Minor Improvements - 9 October 2020
Changes: Crotons Brain: Bonus Damage for creepers slightly decreased Group Build (using "Shift" or "Alt" while building): greatly improved performance and build pattern. Bugfixes: Units being teleported outside mapbounds from CUR. Units shoot in front of broken Zyr regenerator instead of onto him. Some spelling errors
- v1.24 [30.10.2019] TD Mode + Misc. - 30 October 2019
This is a small patch changing the later stages of the TD modes and doing some internal changes of how stuff is calculated making range check more precise and faster. TD Mode: All changes affect levels of 100 and up, so I recommend playing the challenge TD easy for this, because for the other TD challenges it is already quite challenging to get to level 100. After Level 100: There will be no infantry anymore for most factions. In addition some special units spawn depending on faction, e.g. Level 5 units for Mercoss / Carrier for Ruxilla. After Level 150: All units will get 10% additional HP every wave. So wave 160 units will have doubled HP. Also every 5 waves all units attack is increased by 1. XP Gain from TD after level 100 is greatly increased. Engine: Calculating whether a unit can shoot is now more precise (considers size of targets) Battle performance is now faster. (~10% faster…
- 1.23 Mercoss Research + 4 Maps + MultiSelection Properties - 16 October 2019
This update continues the additions for each faction. Crotons have been last patch, this one is Mercoss. Mercoss New Stuff / Changes: NEW: Enhance Transport Modules: Your drones can transport +1 unit. (upgradable multiple times until a maximum of 10) (only affects currently existing drones, so you will need to upgrade again once there are a bunch of new drones.) NEW: Enhance Speed Modules: Increases the movement speed of your drones (can also be upgraded multiple times and also only affects existing drones) Powerplants scaling with Population changed, they are more effective with few people in it and also work without any population, but scale ~40% worse on really high population count. Since the new powerplants grant you more effectiveness in the early game, which is were Mercoss struggle the most and you still keep a good scaling with the research, it is required to readjust somewhere…
- v1.22 (4.10.2019) Miscellaneous Update - 4 October 2019
Added Content: 3 New maps (see bottom of this post for previews.) More variations for start ressources, including a small starting base (unlocks with player level at 10,20). Minor Features: CUR CPU Boosted unit is now shown as +1 Level Profile creation is now simpler, leaving all options to the in game menu Canceling construction now refunds ressources. Selfdestructing units/structures (Hotkey 'K') now refunds population dependent on the current health of the unit/structure. Map selection screen is now bigger and supports more maps then before. Bug Fixes: Campaign Level 05: You no longer lose all your population right at the start. Disabling the minimap, disables not only the visuals anymore. Fixed: Singleplayer menu combo boxes sometimes showing weird entries. Fixed: Ruxilla Carrier sometimes missing not moving enemy units. Preview of new Maps:
- v1.21 [30.09.2019] Crotons Update / MultiFaction in Singleplayer - 30 September 2019
Hello everyone, it's been a while since there were "regular" patches for this game. But I wanted to polish some still weak points and expand the content a bit. Therefore this patch introduces new units for the crotons and I plan to add at least something to all the other factions as well over the next months. As well as get back on the map reworks / do new ones. Crotons: New Structure: The Brain. Empowers all your creepers to work as a hive mind and therefore greatly improve their effectiness. (+150% damage, Creepers killing their target attack the next unit, steal metal from units they attack) New Unit: The Kox. A Croton spaceship. It has very high fire power, but needs to collect ore to shoot. Metal Transporters: Reduced cost in factory, Can now be manually controlled, Now select their target bowel intelligently (instead of always nearest one.). The Eye: Now deals % of target's curren…
- v1.2 Improved Group Builds & Tower Patch - 18 September 2019
Improvements: Building groups of structures are now in a more regular pattern. (Group build by holding shift for Zyr, Mercoss, Ixir; Repeat Mode by clicking R on a construction unit for Ruxilla, CUR, Crotons) Balance Changes: The towers of many factions (Ruxilla, Zyr, Mercoss) were actually not much better or even worse than their mobile counter parts. The towers should help you to establish a good defence at choke points or at secondary bases, but at the moment you just stack your army at the location you want to defend, because you can move your army later on and it is not considerably weaker than the towers. With these improvements to the towers it is cheaper to defend yourself with them, but you cannot move them later on as opposed to a defensive army. Ruxilla Tower: HP increased from 133 to 355. Cost Increased from 19,18,5 to 32,28,6 Fire rate doubled, but damage lowered from 6 to…
- v1.18 (17th December 2018) [+Fix 15th January 2019] - 17 December 2018
Hello everyone, it has been some time since the last update. This update is thanks to a player, who showed me that some campaign levels got very very hard, since the AI improvements/changes. Most of these changes have already been enabled the last weeks. UI Change: https://cdn.steampulse.org/steam/asset?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsteamcdn-a.akamaihd.net%2Fsteamcommunity%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fclans%2F25735835%2Fe7df4225215c305ee217f712e7a5acd1b8d80e7c.png If a builder or factory is currently paused is now indicated by color. (Grey = Paused, White = Working) Balance Changes: Zyr Special Ability costing (R)essources gives now 1 HP every 9 seconds instead of 10. Zyr Special Ability costing (E)nergy gives now Attack around 40% slower (1 attack every 135 seconds) and is capped at 25 damage for each unit. Zyr Special Ability costing (P)opulation gives now less Attacksspeed (ReloadTime is multiplied with 0.99 instead of 0.985 every 30 seconds) Ruxilla Special Abili…
- Multiplayer Fix - 17 February 2018
Hello everyone, There was an fatal error, when connecting to any server, caused by an error during the network initialization. This bug should now be fixed. (Note: The game still does only support local LAN multiplayer. Playing over the internet requires third party programs, which emulate a local network like hamachi or tunngle. Unfortuantely not all games (including this one) work with those programs right away, please try the trouble shooting guides of those programs when encountering "Invalid IP" error from Intruder Alert first.) Greets knittely P.S. For those who used the temporary workaround, the "multiplayer" BETA branch does now not exist anymore UPDATE 18.02.2018: there was still a small mistake with the multiplayer code, although it shouldn't have caused any bugs. I fixed it anways, since some people still got some errors.

Fixed missing file bug in "Sniper" challenge Automatically selects first level when starting the campaign (comfort change for new players) Music is now a bit less loud.

- v1.14 (8th Januar) - 8 January 2017
Changelog: CUR AI improved (it no longer destroys its impulse receivers with massive overloading and builds them in a better way). Building area for Ixir powerplant now looks better. Fixed a bug, which would cause a freeze when you play 2 singleplayer games in a row, with the second game having less AI players than the first. CUR Virus special ability is now only allowed on military units and structures. I know this is a small patch, but there will soon be another patch for some more map reworks and improving the Ixir AI.

- v1.13 (18th December) - 18 December 2016
Changelog: 3 additional maps reworked, namely "desertofruins", "fahadacluster" and "krexmountains". Ruxilla Upgrades rebalanced.

- v1.12 (23rd November) - 23 November 2016
This patch in short gives the AI the ability to build the new units and fixes some more bugs. Changelog: AI can now build the new units. (Also the Ixir AI should now sometimes build portals. There was code for it before, but I never actually saw the AI doing it.) Ruxilla Carrier adjusted. (HP increased by ~70% and damage output increased by ~125%. He is also a bit more expensive than before ~35%) Zyr Regenerator is now a bit cheaper ~15%. Ixir Heavy Drone HP increased by ~25%. AI Performance. (The AI now requires slightly less CPU power). You can now open the menu in the tutorials and quit the tutorials. Fixed glitch for campaign level selection, where you could start levels you did not have unlocked yet. You no longer gain no XP when you cheated in another game before the one you are currently playing. In campaign level 27 players now actually start with a base. Fixed a bug, where you…
