Zero-K: PlanetWars round 11 officially concludes (finally)

The Dynasty of Earth and its allies in Liberated Humanity have established themselves as the dominant power in the galaxy!

After over a thousand battles, intense political intrigue, multiple betrayals and the firing in anger of planet-destroying superweapons, the Dynasty-LH alliance has cemented its position, holding 60% of all planets. In the course of the conflict, the old Empire has been destroyed, its remnants assimilated by the Free Machines it once opposed. Both the Machines and the Cybernetic Front have dug in, awaiting their chance to regain their lost ground… which may come soon.

Tune in next time for the next episode of PlanetWars!

Zero-K: Zero-K v1.1.9.9 – Small updates since v1.1.9.0

We’ve had a few versions since v1.1.9.0. Some of them were to fix bugs and some were just because I can. To help people keep track I’ve compiled a list of change for all those versions. Some of the changes have been in effect for several days and there are even fixes for things that nobody noticed.

We have a nice new endgame stats screen which fits with the rest of the UI. Currently it only displays the old stats but as soon as someone has the time it should be easy enough to slot new stats in.

There are some noticeable balance changes such as AA target priority and some light bomber buffs. The amphibious raiders have been messed with again; Duck regained tracking and Archer lost quite a bit of range. Vamp is a bit slower to make Avengers more important for interception and Nukes are more expensive because Godde sort of suggested it and it sounds like a good idea.
