Open beta patch 3.2.0
Hello everyone! After a short update break, we are happy to release version 3.2.0 for the open beta today.
A big focus this time is again the work on the “Stargate Galaxies” GC to prepare it for the stable version of the mod. To this end, we have begun a revision of the starting units, which will be completed in one of the upcoming updates. Due to this change and the fact that we have added new planets in the Ida and Ori galaxy, your saves will most likely not work after the update. Even if it is possible to load the savegame, there will most likely be many bugs. Please make sure that you only report bugs that are based on new saves! And because some of you found the conquest of the galaxies too easy, we have increased the difficulty of the hardest mode … good luck!
There has also been a major overhaul of the icons of various units to provide a more consistent look in the future. We would also like to thank Down23, whose music packs now enrich the mod with more background tracks!
In addition to these major changes, there have been many other minor and major adjustments, which will probably not be immediately noticeable but should ensure that the mod starts and runs much more smoothly.
Let us know on Discord what you think about the latest changes.
