FreeOrion is a free, open source, turn-based space empire and galactic conquest (4X) computer game being designed and built by the FreeOrion project.
FreeOrion was inspired by the tradition of the Master of Orion games, but is not a clone or remake of that series or any other game.
Requirements:
· OS: Windows Vista/7
What's New in This Release: [ read full changelog ]
New Features / Improvements:
· Very much improved AI.
· Added an AI aggression setting during game setup.
· Keyboard presses should now account for the operating system language setting, and it should be possible to type non-Latin characters in-game a s long as the appropriate character set is used in the selected stringtable file.
· Added an objects list window, with collapsable rows showing objects containing other objects
· Objects list has an incomplete filtering function to control what objects are shown.
· Right clicking an object in the objects list give a command to data dump about that object to the messages window. (For debug purposes)
· Added ion storms moving around the map. Ships and planets in storms have reduced stealth and detection.
· Improved Sitrep
· Added type filters.
· Old sitrep entries are kept on later turns, and may be reviewed.
· Different icons for different event types
· Added droplists to items on production queue to produce multiple items before being removed from the queue.
· All ships produced by an empire on a single turn are now put into a single fleet, rather than a separate fle et for each ship.
· Added a happiness meter to planets.
· Disabled production of duplicate buildings when one already has been produced.
· Various turn-processing and GUI speed improvements.
· Added a Protection Focus
Reworked combat:
· An attacking ship will fire each of its weapons separately at independently-selected targets.
· A ship that is not visible on the map to an empire cannot be fired at by that empire's ships in battle until the ship fires on one of that empire's ships.
· Reworked autosaving
· Autosaves are in a separate directory from regular saves
· There is a customizable limit on the number of autosaves to keep
Balancing:
· Unified resource and fleet supply into a single meter: the Supply meter. Infrastructure is not involved.
· Outpost now provide 0 jump supply, and colonies 1 jump supply. Techs and buildings can extend that.
· Removed infrastructure from having any effect on producing Industry or Research.
· Greatly reduced the number of Theory techs that have no direct effect.
· Adjusted price and research time of many techs.
· Recallibrated Stealth & Detection Strength numbers
· to max around 100
· to work with the new mechanics
· Reduced detection ranges for ships and planets by roughly half.
· Loosened requirements for Asteroid hulls/parts
· Asteroid processors are no longer shipyards, but must be built on a belt for a shipyard anywhere in the system to build asteroid hulls.
· Rock/Crystallized Armor Plating now requires an Asteroid Reformation Processor somewhere in the empire.
· Rebalancing of weapons, ship hulls, armour, and shield parts.
· Made Terraforming more expensive, and made it get more expensive for repeatedly terraforming the same planet.
· Made colony ships more expensive.
· Disable production of shipyards at outposts.
· Adjusted Microgravity Industry to "Increases Industry by +5 on all Industry-focused colonies in system with an asteroid belt outposts. Additional asteriod outposts do not provide additional benefit."
· Removed loophole that made Exobot Origin buildings cheaper than building Exobot colony ships on Exobot worlds.
Some rough species balancing:
· Weakened Trith with Narrow EP
· Strengthened Egassem with Ultimate Industry
· Strengthened Laenfa with Average Industry
· Strengthened Gyisache with Great Research
· Species with a starting weapons bonus now also start with more ships
Major Redo of Ground Troops:
· Protection focus now increases max troops to 200%
· Species Bonus/Malus is now multiplied
· Native planets and homewo rlds now have a bonus to troops
· Outposts have weaker defenses
· Increased cost of Garrison Techs, and decreased capacity of Troop Pods
· Increased penalties to population on poor and hostile planets.
· Planet meters, such as population, can now be negative, which can lead to faster loss of population on uninhabitable planets.
· Redstricted production of imperial palaces if an empire already has one that it produced.
· Some buildings deduct from their planet's infrastructure, reducing benefits from having high infrastructure on those planets.
· Added increasing cost to some ship hulls depending on the number of ships an empire owns.
· Incrased amount of information players are sent about other empires, including capitals and their supply network.
