Major improvements like enhanced AI, Game Balancing, and UI enhancements set for June 24.
In Early Access 5 for Master of Orion, player feedback has been key in further shaping the best 4X experience possible. You can expect changes like enhanced AI, overhauled Game balancing, and User Experience (UX) improvements. As the game further develops and we gather even more of your opinions, you can look forward to further refinements are on their way.
Game balance was a prominent community issue, and now you’ll find that there is a greater sense of pace and flow as you build your galactic empire. This means your decisions will be more meaningful and have a greater impact than ever before, rippling out across the galaxy.
A revamped trait system, rebalanced planetary resource and population growth mechanics, inspired by Master of Orion II (as well as creative and uncreative traits), imprint a sense of individuality to each race and create impactful decisions.
Other features include the addition of biomes that now have a larger effect on colony growth and multiple paths of planetary development, which all require careful planning to get the most out of each colony. There is also a new galaxy cluster type to explore.
