Star Dynasties v0.9.1.4.0 patch notes

Hello everyone!

Thank you all for your constant feedback on Star Dynasties. We have a small patch for you today, mostly consisting of clarifications, balance tweaks, and some other improvements.

Combat

• You are no longer shown the combat screen for combats that you are not leading

• The AI will spend less on mercenaries if it already expects to beat you

• The decisions while negotiating a retreat from attack now show the combatants and fleet strengths in the description

• The combat buildup window can now be dragged correctly, and will stay where you place it

• It is no longer possible to threaten your master with rebellion if they do not retreat from an attack in which they are trying to depose you

• Clarified tactic effect description for Threaten Colony

• Fixed bug where Decapitate battle tactic was effecting your Commander

Suggestions

• Suggestions with multiple elements will now focus on each element in turn when clicked multiple times

Politics

• When a vassal faction is conquered, its territory no longer splinters into seperate factions, but is immediately reabsorbed into the master faction of its former league

• When a system rebellion succeeds on the capital of a vassal faction, its territory no longer splinters into seperate factions, but is immediately reabsorbed into the master faction of its former league

• When you ask a vassal to step down, they are now more likely to accept if they are related to you or the replacement, or if they are a coward

• The AP cost of making a request for vassalage or submission has been brought in line with that of asking for a change of allegiance
