Changelog for V1.300 - Invasions (26 May 2020) - Part I:

Invasion Expansion

Shakarn Player Race
- The Shakarn are a warlike race of lizard aliens from beyond the edges of Star Union space. Using holographic technology they have been spying on the Star Union for centuries, infiltrating their agents into every level of society, and stealing their technology. Now the Union has gone, it is time for them to strike and claim the fallen empire as their own!

Additional Campaign Missions
- Join the Shakarn as they begin their invasion of the Egalitarian League of Planets with 14+ hours of new content across two campaign maps.

Voidbringer Invasions
- Face the ultimate challenge as your world is invaded by a race of trans-dimensional beings known as the Voidbringers. These beings arrive via beacons which crash down over the planet, and deploy armies of enthralled soldiers who destroy everything in their path. You must either destroy the beacons to end the threat, or submit and become enthralled yourself to conquer the world in the name of the void.

Conquered Worlds Planet Type
- A new planet type where one player starts with a large empire, and the other players are united in a team to take them down

'Therians' NPC Faction
- This group of demihumans is the result of Terratech experiments into human genetic manipulation. Now they live on the edges of society, as pirates and guns for hire.

Cosmic Events
- 27 global events that randomly affect the world, from meteor showers that spread cosmite across the world to distant supernovae that scorch the land into a lifeless desert.

New Exploration Sites
- 4 new exploration sites have been added for you to explore and add to your empire, the War Docks, the Therian Alteration Labs, the Cosmic Manipulation Center and the Resonance Halls.


Diplodocus Update

New Features
New Feature: AI Personalities
- AI Personalities adds two personality traits to all AI controlled players: the Preference trait and the Strategy trait. The Preference trait determines which things the AI player will like and dislike, this trait may also change their diplomatic behavior. The Strategy trait influences how the AI player runs their empire by changing which things they will research, which units they build and on which sector specializations they will focus.

Preference Traits
- Xenophile
- Xenophobe
- Elitist
- Compassionate
- Militarist
- Pacifist
- Loyal
- Treacherous
- Ruthless

Strategy Traits
- Warmonger
- Mercantile
- Technologist
- Operative
- Generalist

New Feature: Diplomatic Feedback
- We added a Diplomatic Feedback system that will inform what certain diplomatic messages from the AI mean or what effects they have. This is done for a number of different messages to help improve feedback from the system making it more transparent. While giving away some of the AI’s plan, this should provide more agency over diplomacy.

Diplomacy
We’ve gone through a lot of the Diplomatic feedback and made improvements in areas where we think players may have difficulty understanding and engaging with diplomacy. Such as understanding what certain messages mean or what effects have happened, when you can or cannot improve the diplomatic state with another player.

- We have performed an overhaul of the AI planning system in order to expose more of how it works by making all internal modifiers visible in the opinion of an AI player. Additionally we have changed how they determine who to befriend making it more directly related to their opinion of the player.
- When a player surrenders as vassal, any structures they currently occupy that belong to the overlord will be returned. The overlord does take all structures that they occupy. Because it is now easier to become a vassal of an AI player, this will prevent players from quickly absorbing colonies from other players by offering themselves as a vassal.
- The AI now has a neglect timer which will trigger when they share an increased diplomatic state with the player and have not had any interactions from the player for some time. This system will give incentive to continuing to interact with AI players after you have achieved a certain diplomatic state. This neglect can be overcome by changing your diplomatic state, trading and sending a compliment or insult.
- AI players are no longer allowed to actively offer or demand peace/vassalage if they have an attack request against the target player. This is done to prevent them aborting war coordination by quickly leaving the war. The target player may still broker peace with your ally however.
- You can now trade energy- and cosmite for 10 turns again in Teams games and in a vassalage.
- The opinion of human players is no longer visible as it has no gameplay value.
- Open Borders, Shared Vision, Shared Intelligence and Orbital Relay pacts can now be traded during vassalage.
- You can no longer trespass in occupied sectors.
- During a turn you can now exceed the max influence cap if you for example complete a quest or empire task, only at the end of the turn is the maximum applied and will it be set to 200 influence.
- The AI will no longer actively go out of wars during campaign missions where the AI is scripted to go to war.
- The AI will no longer foreshadow about going to war if they are not ready to do so at the time, we've done this to help avoid confusion about AI players threatening war but never following up on it.
- AI players now only look at the tradeable Casus Belli points when declining a trade because of Casus Belli because the player cannot directly act towards removing those.
