Sadly, my advanced ships can’t keep up with that volume of attackers.įighters and bombers made their way into the game, providing an interesting twist to battles. Turn 109, on newbie difficulty setting, I’m being invaded by over one hundred ships. There needs to be some sort of cap on what the easier difficulties are capable of producing and how quickly they advance in tech. The game does, after all, have about eight difficulty levels to choose from. I’m not sure if the increase in difficulty is a result of the new AMAS system, but the game could certainly be balanced a bit better to accommodate new and casual players. After turn one hundred, I counted the number of ships invading my space and it totalled to be about three hundred. I remember being able to sit back and take the game at my own pace when I played the game a year ago, but no longer. The AI at present is extremely ruthless, even on the newbie difficulty level. I mentioned above that the AMAS system made the AI a bit more powerful. Playing as the Harmony takes some getting used to and is very slow to react to changes, it seems. My ego took a big hit when the AI on newbie difficulty level wiped me out and proceeded to dance on my corpse.

The fleet I had was about one hundred turns old and when I went to upgrade them prior to the attack, I found that I couldn’t.

I found myself building a nice little military empire, full of powerful battleships and destroyers, only to be caught with my pants down when the enemy attacked. For example, I wasn’t able to speed up the construction of ships or structures, nor was I able to retrofit existing ships. The “Harmony” doesn’t use dust at all (the resource equivalent of coin), preventing me from doing some of the things I used to take for granted. The new faction is an interesting one, but probably not among my favorites. While I didn’t see a setting for it, the expansion makes use of a new Adaptive Multi-Agent System (AMAS), giving the AI sharper teeth as they’ll be able to adapt to the strategies a player is incorporating in their gameplay. The options menu is also keeps with the standard format, touching on things like screen resolution, quality levels, subtitles, vsync, audio sliders, and gameplay options. There’s also a button on the lower right corner of the menu screen that allows you to switch the game to classic, which in turn loads the core game without the expansion and its features. You’ll have the ability to create a new game, load an existing one, join a game online, introduce mods, and adjust game options. The main menu looks roughly the same as it did in the core game.
