Distant Worlds: Shadows v1.9.0.11 Update

Post by Philkian »

We are now officially releasing the v1.9.0.11 Update, the latest of many updates since the release of Distant Worlds: Shadows. If you have not updated since release, you’ll want to get this one! In addition to many fixes and gameplay improvements, especially for the pirate playstyles, there have been performance and graphical improvements, AI improvements, interface improvements and new features (including changes to all area weapons).

In addition to everything else, this update comes with a new Modding Guide for Distant Worlds: Shadows, outlining all the new modding options in an easy to read PDF manual.

- no longer incorrectly cancel transport missions when cargo pick-up point is destroyed but freighter has already loaded cargo
- now properly preserve Engagement Stance settings for manually controlled ships when start a new game

CHARACTERS, RACES AND MODDING
- implemented missing Character skills: SmugglingIncome, SmugglingEvasion, BoardingAssault
- fixed bug where Colony Ground Report screen would have blank planetary background if a custom theme did not include a set of PlanetMap images. Now properly fallback to default images if theme does not contain any
- new settings now avilable to add to race files: CharacterRandomAppearanceChancePirateLeader, CharacterRandomAppearanceChanceShipCaptain, CharacterStartingTraitPirateLeader, CharacterStartingTraitShipCaptain

Version 1.9.0.10 - August 9th, 2013

• This build has the following changes from version 1.9.0.9:

CRASH FIXES
- fixed rare crash with mining
- fixed rare crash when expiring old pirate missions
- fixed rare crash when planet destroyed
- fixed rare crash when drawing hovered ship information
- fixed various other crashes

BUG FIXES
- fixed bug where could not build pirate Criminal Network facility at empire-owned colonies (could previously only do this at independent colonies)
- now properly cancel pirate attack missions when target of mission is destroyed or captured by someone else
- fixed bug in "Most Homeworlds" race victory condition (was incorrectly counting conquered enemy homeworlds)
- fixed bug where could not scrap bases at independent colonies
- fixed bug where could not build oversize bases at colonies via construction Action buttons under Selection Panel
- fixed problem where pirate colony raids would sometimes give conquest messages
- fixed bug where under attack messages for space creatures were often not being sent

AREA WEAPONS
- improved willingness of area weapons to fire even when other nearby ships may suffer some minor collateral damage
- added area weapon components to design templates for spaceports and defensive bases of all appropriate races

GAME BALANCE AND AI
- added an option in game setup to turn off Tech Trading between empires (Victory Conditions step)
- homeworld colonies now have more defending/garrisoned troops, especially on higher difficulty levels
- AI ship building process now uses excess funds to overbuild on military ships, especially on higher difficulty levels
- optimized AI planetary facility building choices so that builds less (e.g. Academies), thus saving maintenance costs
- disaster events no longer occur near start of game (i.e. never within first 4 years)
- reduced fuel production speed of Energy to Fuel Convertor component. Also ensured that it does not completely fill cargo space with fuel

PIRATES
- pirates now have concept of empire corruption (income losses dues to fraud and pilfering). This reduces the amount of ships they build in the late-game. Pirate empire corruption can be viewed in the Empire Summary screen under the pirate home base. Pirate empire corruption applies to the following types of pirate income: colony control, colony taxes, raiding, looting, resorts and smuggling. Other types of income are not affected by corruption (Protection Arrangements and Selling Info for a price)
- pirate factions now more careful about building new ships - will no longer generate excessive build queues at construction yards
- increased the strength of Legendary Pirates so that they are stronger than a typical pirate faction

DISPLAY AND USER INTERFACE
- improved visibility of ship and base symbols when zoomed out to system level
- clicking buttons in Fleets screen no longer turns off automation of selected fleet (Repair and Refuel, Retrofit, Load Troops)
- disabled Retrofit action button and popup menu options when a ship is already sent for retrofit (avoid multiple retrofit assignments with associated costs)
- removed duplicate display of Koloros Medical Academy in bonuses panel of Empire Summary screen
- added sector to description of tradeable bases in Diplomacy trade screen

COLONY INVASIONS AND RAIDS
- when special forces troops are attacking a pirate base at a colony, will now only destroy pirate facilities, not normal empire facilities
- when pirate raiders withdraw from raiding a colony, they now never obtain any loot if they do not have any nearby ships

OTHER
- improved boarding and capture with large groups of ships while still allowing ships to fire at nearby enemies (i.e. better coordination with other ships of same empire so that do not fire at ships being boarded)
- extended rule in design editor to disallow multiple gravity beam weapons on freighters (maximum of one)

V1.9.0.9 – August 2nd, 2013

• Beta Update

CRASH FIXES
- fixed rare crash when generating new troops
- fixed rare crash related to pirate missions
- fixed various other crashes

BUG FIXES

- now ensure that Retrofit Stance setting is properly applied to new ships and bases from their design (Default Retrofit Stance)
- fixed problem where ships captured by an enemy were sometimes not being attacked

MILITARY SHIPS, FLEETS AND COMBAT
- groups of military ships (e.g. fleets) are now much better at balancing targetting of multiple enemy threats so that they do not all attack a single enemy. However they will still gang up on an enemy when no other targets are nearby
- military ships are now much better at firing at nearby enemies even when pursuing other targets
- unautomated fleets will now always properly honor manual commands and thus will no longer auto-respond to intercept incoming enemy fleets and planet destroyers

- idle fleets will now always return to home base, regardless of whether the home base is nearby or not

AREA WEAPONS
- epicenter of area weapons is no longer centered on firer. Instead area weapons now fire at target and the damage shockwave expands from the target (similar to area gravity weapons)

GAME BALANCE

DESIGNS
- changed behavior of "Manually Upgrade Design" button in Designs screen so that previous design not obsoleted unless new design saved
- if your empire cannot build a design, the reason is now explained in the hover tooltip of the construction Action buttons (when Spaceport selected), e.g. design too big, missing tech

OTHER
- added pirate strength option in Game setup. Decreasing pirate strength makes for an easier game, with pirates closer to the weaker, old-style Legends pirates
- Ancient Guardians no longer automatically declare war on empires building victory wonders

Just to clarify, I assume there is no difference between this version and the one released late last week (e.g. we don't need to re-download/overwrite)?

Is there any difference with this post?

That one is 4 days old. Is there any particular reason why Matrix is re-posting the update notification which is identical except for the date - "Version 1.9.0.11 – August 26th. 2013 ". Same version (1.9.0.11), two different dates (22nd, 26th)? Eh?

No difference. MD5 of both is fdd12b69e63d0dc54e606faa78e75432.

Two announcements.
Two different dates cited.
One file.
Brilliant.

Hi guys,

It was re-posted so that we would have a post to link in the PR that went out yesterday, with a full change list since release. The update was posted here last week, but officially announced to the world yesterday.

King Doom - I am not at home right now to verify this, but I believe there is a checkbox to turn off all pop-ups in the empire options menu

Sounds like the answer someone gave in my Bio 101 class. It was a class on antibodies and how the body fights viruses. The prof asked, "Let's say Dr. Bell (the other prof) has a viral infection. What should we do to kill the virus?". Someone piped up, "We autoclave him!".

Which I thought was a brilliant answer.
