It's been decided that we are going to do a 1.X.2 release. Don't know when. But there's little tweaks and changes we want to make. The team fixed some glitches that have been reported on the forums.

But for me, it gives me a chance to start having some fun with the AI.

Stupid AI

At lower levels, I want the AI to play stupidly. I don't want them to just be super smart but economically starved. There are a bunch of APIs in there for the AI that will cause it to make "newbie" mistakes.  But I want to do more of them.

Smart AI

Yay! They're making me an UpgradeShip API for the AI players. Now I can really bring hell down on people. Whohaha.   I also have a few other ideas too.

I've got a bunch of other stuff in mind as well.  Will have to make sure it can be done without slowing down the game.  One of the biggest things I want to work on is having the AI be more effective at controlling their territory militarily.

Stay tuned.
