Children of the Galaxy
Update 0.24 - planet battle prototype
There is new version on the Next branch. This version is not compatible with previous one.
I added an another mode to take over the enemy planet. If you are at war, you can Attack the planet now. That will open another map with units, which were on orbit. If you destroy all enemy units, battle ends and planet will not be colonized. This mode is faster compared to Siege battle and more fun.
It's still work in progress. There is not any user interface to give you more information.
Let me know if you have any crash or issue.
Thanks
Update 0.23 - Work In Progress
New version is on the Next branch. This version is compatible with previous ones. The focus was to fix multi-threading issues for UI, which were there for some time. I think I was able to fix most of them. There is also new version of UI framework with better multi-thread support and fixed few issues with grid control (used for unit or planet grids).
I was working on new planet siege (planet battles) system too. Instead of simple automated planet siege, there will be new mini map for each planet battle. It will be battle in space only. Design is done, I started with the changes in the UI and it looks promising.
Let me know if you have any crash or issue.
Thanks
