- Eclipse of Nashira Version 1.6.7 Released - 8 June 2016
This update primarily deals with the overopportunistic dogpiling behaviour AI empires used to show in the past. AIs will be much friendlier towards players who pose no threat and now need an actual reason to attack you other than seeing you already are troubled with other factions. Please see below for the full list of changes. Changed: * AI no longer considers standings and war status of other factions when deciding its diplomatic actions. * AI will be far less aggressive towards weak players they like and more aggressive towards players they dislike, even if those are really dangerous. * Renamed difficulty levels to better fit what they feel like for new players. * Default difficulty for new players starting the game decreased. * AI will consider habitat provided by suburbs as slightly less valuable and expand a little more. * AI will now consider the alien aggression setting of the g…

- Eclipse of Nashira Beta 1.6.7 Released - 23 May 2016
Opt-in to the beta version by right-clicking on Pandora in your Steam library, choosing Properties and selecting the beta under the Betas tab. Changed: * Names of the difficulty levels now fit what they feel like for new players instead of what they felt like before the AI improvements. * New easy AI can now once again declare war on the player. But they will not consider other players relations and they will never declare war on the player when he already is at war. * New medium AI no longer has dramatically reduced chance to declare war on the player. But they will not consider other players relations and they have dramatically reduced chance to declare war on the player when he already is at war. * The diplomatic penalty for capturing cities has been normalized to be relative to the average population rather than the population of the previous city owner. This will reduce the likelyh…

- Eclipse of Nashira Version 1.6.5 Released - 19 February 2016
This update speeds up turn times, further improves the AI and fixes some inconsistencies. Please see below for the full list of changes. Changed: * AI will now lower their population growth if they suffer from overpopulation while at war. * AI will now take aliens much more seriously and design more units in order to counter them early on. * AI will briefly pause defending their formers while they have a colonizer so they can make sure the location they want to found their new city in will be properly defended. * When a city is under siege and the attacker has enough cities to shut down healing completely via one orbital bombardment each turn, the defending AI will now act as if the city was sieged by artillery. * AI will now move their units one tile per cycle as long as there are enemy units in the units' vision range. This allows them to react to units discovered while moving and gen…

- Eclipse of Nashira Version 1.6.4 Released - 21 December 2015
This larger community update focuses on improving the AI's diplomatic behavior as well as both economic and militaristic thinking. These are fruits of labor of Alexander Stumpp and the rest of the community. Thank you! The AI's diplomatic behaviour is now less selfish and preventing someone else from getting too strong now has a higher priority than trying to exploit someone weak. There is also more distinction in the behaviour between different factions. The AI will now use a completely new algorithm that considers the return of investment to determine whether to build units or buildings. This helps them to keep decent amounts of troops around while at the same time not falling behind with important buildings. The way how the AI handles their formers has been improved a lot. They will defend them with their military so they don't have to run away from aliens. They will also be smarter…
