The Officer Update is now Live!
Hello everyone!
We have just released the Officer Update, previously known as the March Update.
This update brings several improvements in several different areas of the game, and comes with some major new features and content.
The first of which, and the one that inspired the codename of this update is the Unit ranking and experience system, but there's also new victory conditions and changes on how these work and new RTS controls. That's not all however. There's also significant improvements to Artifacts, AI, Minor Races, UI and the resources and trading system was streamlined to be now much more focused, easier to understand and more effective to use.
As in previous updates, there's also new content, this time in the form of several new artifact types and new effects, as well as new random events.
Important note: Just like the previous major updates, saves will be reset.
Added/Changed
Implemented Unit ranks, experience and respective bonuses
Streamlined the resources/trade system: Now strategic resources aren't cumulative/generate surplus,having one source of each is enough for all uses. Previously, having +2,+3, etc of a specific strategic resource and the concept of surplus only made the system more confusing, as well as more frustrating as it was very rare for a player to be able to buy a strategic resource as they were very frequently out of stock
Added two new victory conditions: Economic Victory and Rebuild the Sceptre of Kri
Victory conditions can now be accumulated and game is won when all are met (subject to change)
Added aggressive and passive unit stances options
Added go to fleet when double tapping fleet hotkeys
Victory conditions are now displayed differently in the Emperor Log
Abilities like Trade, Mining, etc are now shown in the abilities bar and can be activated that way
Improved AI: They now better take into consideration when the military and technology strength of the player when considering war
Minor Races now have a name, and when and if they become a major faction they retain it
Minor Races menu and planets&colonies menu now shows the name of minor races
It's now possible to interact with minor races from the planets&colonies menu
When creating a new game user can customize AI style for AI controlled factions
Changed how abilities are displayed in the main unit panel
Added description of each ability in abilities tooltips in the main panel
Added Order to Stop command
Abilities&Buffs section now only shows Buffs
Added new random events
Added several new artifact types, which retrieve new bonuses and even new ship parts
AI now builds and uses survey and mining ships
AI is now more likely to declare friendship
AI now dislikes factions who get along well with factions they are at war with more than before. Previously being at war or just having bad relations would give the same penalties.
When creating or editing a Custom Race, there's now Trait points the player must use to attribute his faction's traits. This prevents unbalanced races from being created as well as making these choices much more strategic.
It's now possible to enable/disable Story Events before starting a new game.
Color picker in Custom Race choice now automatically desaturates chosen colors to fit game style
Changed how governors are displayed, and now traits and experience are displayed
Harium strategic resource now provides +5 extra max research instead of +3
Attacking in neutral systems now provides a bigger penalty to relations
I
mproved colonization speed of starting colony ship if starting with expedition ship
Resources prices are now generated randomly at startup
Planet menu now indicates when a certain resource is being exported

Trade&Resources planet tab has been renamed to just Trade
Survival victory condition is now set to 10 years
Fixed

The Phoenium Update is Now Available!
Hello everyone!
We have just released the Phoenium update, previously known as the February Update.
We have dedicated most of our time the last few weeks on balancing key aspects of the game and changing how certain things work. Many of these changes were suggested by the community so we want to thank everybody for the continued support and feedback.
Some of these include major changes on how colonization works, with new colonies being even weaker than previously and colonization isn't instant anymore. Also key changes were made to the AI, with it being far less aggressive and eager to declare war. There's also some major new additions, including story events, new resources and new mineable asteroids, black holes now serving as portals to previously inaccessible portals, and the addition of the Mining module, mining ships and mining stations.
Important! Because this update changes certain aspects of the game, this update could not be made save game compatible. Thanks for understanding.

The Titan Update
Hello everyone!
We have a couple of announcements to make today. First, the not-so-good-news. We had to delay what was previously known as the January update and we are now due to release it the 6th February. This update will be the biggest update for Dawn of Andromeda so far and now not only we have one extra week to make sure it's rock solid, but to make up for the delay we are also adding some more content we didn't originally plan on including until the next update.
The other good news is that we originally planned on having one more major update due in February, but we are now going to add at least one more, due in March and we'll be updating the roadmap and revealing what it will include in the coming days. Additionally, while we plan on continuing on releasing major updates each month, these will now have specific codenames, starting with the Titan Update.
So, what will the Titan Update include you ask? Here's some of the highlights:
The much requested option to edit existing designs and retrofit ships is one of the highlights, but far from the only one.
Along with it, comes a brand new ship class, the Titans. These huge ships are able to take on a lot more damage and carry more modules than any other, however they are also more expensive, slower and have a lower evasion rate.
Evasion rate and accuracy is one of the new combat improvements we have lined up as well. Now ships have a chance to miss their targets, with lighter ships having the highest evasion rate while the biggest ones having the least. Some weapon types such as Beams have a high accuracy rating, while blasters have less but more damage per second.
The Titan Update also comes with lots of new content. You will find new space creature types, Dead Stars, new backgrounds, new traits, new events and new technologies.
There’s been some major balancing changes as well. We have added more depth to colonization and colony management, with population counting towards Productivity, making newly found colonies less useful, and approval having a much bigger impact on your growth rate.
The size of the planets now count towards the maximum population you can have, and now each race has an ideal planet type, which means colonies closer to your original homeplanet in type (gas, oceanic, etc) will have a higher approval rate. Additionally, now every planet has a special trait.
Another major improvement is how playing with each race feels. Other than now having their own prefered planet type, their traits have been rebalanced and each one now has exclusive technologies.
Invasion also received a visual overaul. Previously you would see invading ships emitting a red beam, however this didn’t make much sense other than giving some visual feedback. Now you can see ships sending landing pods to the target colony, as well as explosions in the surface.
Another major addition are late game events. These events can completely change a game around, and include for example another faction being taken over by an AI program, becoming much more powerful and declaring war on everyone. Because these can have a big impact on gameplay, they can be disabled if the player so wishes.
This isn’t everything however. We’ll let you discover the brand new Titan Update the 6th of February, along with the full changelog.
See you around!
Version 8.11 Now Available!
Hello everyone,
We have just released a new patch that includes several bug fixes, as well as stability, performance and some AI improvements. We've also done some balancing work in some areas, and laid some groundwork for the upcoming January content update!
We want to thank everyone who took the time to report issues and send logs and save files to us. As always, it's greatly appreciated and helps us fix and reproduce issues much faster.
Without further ado, here's the full changelog for patch 8.11.
Changed/Added
AI units won't switch targets to the nearest unit, they now go after their previous target until it's too far. This means now that the cheap tactic of taking away a ship from a fleet under attack to recharge shields and then sending it back once they are full is no longer applicable.
It's now much harder to convince the AI to promise to declare war on someone, and relations and casus belli are taken into account
Population grows 60% slower in general and approval affects growth affects growth more by 75%
Added 2 more starting characters
Infrastructure development is 20% slower
Ship building is now 15% slower
When choosing your starting council, counter now starts as 0/5 instead of 1/5
In the proposal screen, when proposing the AI to give Influence or funds the slider in the offer sub menu now has a maximum of 100 and 5000 respectively instead of what the player really owns. Added note to further clarify this
Added alert when the player successfully invades a colony that doesn't have good enough living conditions to settle
New games on Common(default) and Very Common settings now generate 15% less colonizable planets
Wheel scroll on research screen is now much faster
Traits that meant bonuses and penalties to overall ship HP having uneven numbers like 1159 now have the correct number, ie 1200 in this case.
Optimized unit pathfinding
Fixed
Looping error caused by the strategic map that caused heavy slowdown, RAM usage and eventual crash
Game stuck after going for "denouncing him" option in a foreign hacker event
Ynan decreasing happiness by 7% each time the player reloaded
Looping error caused by research queue issue causing slowdown and heavy RAM usage

infrastructure development speeds
Wrong diplomatic messages and other bugs caused when invading a colony belonging to a minor race
Planets not being listed in Planets&Colonies Menu
Game being stuck after accepting a proposal from a character
Level 5 infrastructure of certain types not showing
Trade routes submenu being stuck after loading a game
Game not starting after creating a custom game in very specific instances
Notifications causing errors due to a wrong player ID when received a proposal or diplomatic message
Instances where AI ships would move inside a star and in some cases get stuck
Alerts array going out of bounds and causing errors
Promises being kept in the Emperor Log despite being fulfilled
Human controlled units moving back to their previous position after going after an enemy unit
Great Doom Missiles technology being researched and activating Doom Missiles as well

The December Update is Here!
A huge update has just been made available for Dawn of Andromeda. This December update brings many improvements to Diplomacy, UI and AI as well as a ton of other changes and additions!
Important! Because this update changes so many aspects of the game, this update could not be made save game compatible!
Some of you expressed the wish for an easier way to navigate and manage all colonies. We listened to your wishes and we are happy to say that managing your colonies requires less clicks than ever before.
We would also like to take this opportunity to thank all of you who left comments and feedback on the forums and in various other places. This has been extremely valuable and we hope you keep sending it our way.
The new Colony screen
You can manage infrastructure investments from here
Full Changelog
Diplomacy improvements:
Added the Truce option: this is a temporary peace deal, it can be very useful in specific situations where for example the player is fighting more than one war at once and wants to destroy another player without having to find a casus belli and declare war twice
Added the Promises proposal type: Once accepted, an entry is added to the Emperor Log giving a deadline for the player to execute what he promised. If he doesn’t, the faction gains the Dishonest trait, which causes heavy penalties to relations with other factions, as well as make new promises very unlikely to be accepted.
Promises add a new layer to diplomacy, as it’s now possible for players to negotiate between themselves joint wars against a specific target, or try and force someone at war with an ally to sign a peace deal for instance. It’s also possible to promise to another faction not to colonize in systems they control.
UI improvements:
The Infrastructure tab in the Colonies screen has been revamped: All the information is now visible at a glance, including bonuses for each level and current and maximum level of each type, and the Investment points can be adjusted by simply holding or clicking with the left mouse button over the quantity the player wants
The research queue to the Research screen is now visible and you can delete individual technologies, projects and artifacts from there, and/or move them up or down in the queue
You can now jump straight to interacting with a race by double clicking on one of their colonies

It’s now possible to switch from planet to planet from the main view, as well as from the Colony screen
Added a more visible button to allow players to change governor in the Colony screen
Added percentage numbers to indicate the current progress of the first unit in the build queue, as well as the progress to the next level of each infrastructure development type
The proposal screen now has new buttons to accommodate the new proposal types, the current proposals text has been changed to be smaller and the respective window is now bigger
Added a gradient effect to the technology icons in the Tech Tree
Added a fade in and fade out to black when entering the Colony screen
The Codex:
In this screen you will be able to learn or relearn how certain game mechanics work and read about the lore of the universe and each race.
This will be further fleshed out over time, there’s going to be more lore and more and improved texts explaining how certain game mechanics work and gameplay, as well as many more lore entries.
AI improvements
When preparing to declare war or in other cases when already at war, the AI now tries to bring other players along by negotiating with other players to declare war to their enemies, paying them to promise to declare war
Players try to negotiate with others who are at war with their friends and allies, in some cases giving ultimatums to force them to try striking a peace deal
Players now use Truce to negotiate a peace deal
The AI is now slightly less likely to issue an embargo

Instead of simply having infrastructure and ship building speed bonuses or penalties, this will be shown as Productivity and will affect both. However it’s still possible to pile up ship building speed bonuses to Productivity
