Stellaris, carnet des développeurs n° 151 : La version 2.3.3.

Bonjour à tous!

Nous avons bien travaillé sur le patch 2.3.3 mais avant de le rendre officiel, ce dernier doit passer notre cycle de bêta habituel. Pour le tester, comme d’habitude, il faut passer par l’onglet bêta dans les propriétés de votre jeu, la bêta se nomme stellaris_test.
La compatibilité entre deux versions n’est jamais garantie. Si vous pouvez cependant revenir sur l’une des versions précédentes du jeu via le même onglet bêta.
Cette bêta a déjà quelques soucis que nous allons résoudre avant d’en faire la version officiel que vous pouvez voir ci dessous :


Spoiler:

AI Robot empires are a bit slow to expand with outposts.
We have added a Relic stealing feature, but it only works while in a Galatron war instead of when not in a Galatron war
While Caravaneers no longer get stuck, they are prone to moving to the same destinations.



Voici quelques changements qui se trouve dans cette nouvelle version :

L’expérience des amiraux :

Nous avons une nouvelle fois changé le gain d’expérience des amiraux provenant des patrouilles et des combats. Les amiraux auront de l’expérience en patrouille correspondant au niveau de piraterie qu’ils diminuent (alors qu’auparavant ils ne gagnaient de l’expérience que si la valeur de piraterie était non nulle). L’expérience des combats va à l’inverse beaucoup augmentée grâce à la résolution d’une erreur dans le code (NdT : l’amiral gagnait de l’expérience lorsqu’il engageait une bataille et non en fonction des pertes). Les vaisseaux qui se désengagent et qui n’était alors pas comptés comme détruit pour l’expérience des amiraux fourniront aussi un peu d’expérience. Toutes ces actions devrait corriger l'accroissement des compétences de vos amiraux.

Les Récompenses des sites archéologiques :

Ici nous avons amélioré les récompenses de nombreuses chaînes d’évènements des sites archéologiques afin de les rendre plus différents des uns des autres mais aussi pour les rendre dans certains cas plus fort.

Le cas du grand Héraut :

Malgré le fait que nous aimions bien comment la chaîne d'événements du grand Héraut fonctionnait (en particulier comment elle pouvait changer la direction d’une partie), ce dernier est effectivement trop facile à obtenir et surtout de façon trop rapide. Le site du grand Héraut aura dans cette nouvelle version moins de chance d’apparaître et la difficulté a été rehaussée. Par ailleurs lors de la complétion des événements, il se pourrait que vous trouviez le vaisseau dans un état de décrépitude avancé et qu’il vous faudra le réparer pour pouvoir en profiter via un projet spécial.

Les notes de la mise à jour au complet se trouve ci dessous :

* Master Builders no longer ever affects Habitat size
* Rare resource tech will also be researchable if any planet you own contains an Industrial sector deposit

Notre but est de résoudre tout problème qui pourrait apparaître avant de sortir la nouvelle version 2.3.3 (NdT et peut être la dernière pour “Wolfe”) puis de partir en vacances.

À bientôt.


Finalement il y a eu un dernier carnet avant les vacances, comme d'habitude vous êtes invités à passer sur le forum pour vos commentaires et vos questions. Par ailleurs j'essaye de receuillir vos avis pour une nouvelle partie ici.
