The final week of the Día de Muertos Festival Playlist closes in with a historical figure of motorsport. A competitor, a champion, and a record setter, the 1951 Porsche 356 SL is now available as a reward exclusive for 20 PTS on the Festival Playlist.

Is there something the 356 SL hasn’t done already? It has gone through (and won) Lemans, it also ran the Liege-Rome-Liege rally and did this while setting multiple records.

Worthy of going down through history as one of the greatest of all time, you can put the 356 SL through any challenge you think it hasn’t cleared yet on the Winter season of the Festival Playlist.

Loading map process improved

One of the most common complaints that we’ve received regarding the user interface in Galactic Civilizations IV: Supernova is one of visibility of the various characteristics for each Civilization in play.

Most notably, players were reporting that after selecting a Civilization, there was no way to check their own Civilization Abilities, Traits and other attached information, without exiting to the main menu, starting a new game and checking those details in the game-setup screens there. This information was visible in the Diplomacy screen once the player had unlocked Universal Translator and commenced in some intergalactic hobnobbing with their neighbors. At the start of the game however, the new game setup screens were your only option.

This was frustrating, to say the least. I should know: as a Youtuber making videos for GalCiv4: Supernova, I was one of the people complaining about it.

To address this problem, we’ve added a new “Civilization” information screen to the in-game Data Bank.



Summarized here are the most important of your Civilization’s statistics, including your Cultural Priority (your main Ideological focus), Civilization Traits (including Biology type and Civilization Abilities too), Character Traits (which determine the behavior's of the AI when its playing this faction), some basic background lore and information on its Citizens too.

You also get a video feed of a rather patient looking DL Bradley, or whatever noble/dreadful/bizarre creature it is that leads your budding galactic empire.

Next up, we’ve improved the visibility of these same critical statistics for your rivals too. Previously, this information was available only in the Diplomacy Screen, again locked behind the Universal Translator technology.



To eliminate the need to enter the Diplomacy screen purely to check up on an enemy’s vital traits, we’ve added a handy tooltip to the Summary tab on the right box of the main screen. Just hover over the Civilization you want to check out, et voila!



On top of the Abilities, Biology, Traits and Cultural Focus, we’ve included their Prestige score (a reasonable indicator of how well they’re doing in-game), your current relations score and any modifiers listed below. Note that you can scroll this tooltip if there are more modifiers than would normally fit into the box.

Let us know what you think of these changes!

OF QUEENS AND KINGS HOTFIX 2


General
Sound Eclipse Polish
Overall environment polish to sound eclipse. Added detail and new elements to multiple areas. You can expect to see new assets around the map and new sightlines in the vault purple rooms.

Additional Player Spawn Work
This update continues the work we’ve been doing since the live update to better curate spawns with the new system to prevent very early game fights. We’ll keep monitoring so please report any spawns you feel should not happen for review.

Memory Optimization
We’ve included multiple optimizations to memory usage around the game in this hotfix which might result in improved performance on different configurations.

Recoil Mitigation
Right after the launch of Catalog 3, we released a quick update to reduce the amount of recoil on full automatic weapons to make them more manageable, especially on controllers. With this update, we are once again making changes to make both Red and Xiu’s base weapons feel more comfortable from a recoil standpoint based on controller player’s feedback.

There was something wrong with last build graphics configuration

Hi, Captains of Fortune!



- Finally, mercenaries will now be able to increase their skills!
When a mercenary uses a weapon, such as a sword, his sword skill will increase over time, regardless of the number of attacks he makes.
For now, it is not possible to exceed 100% of the value.
The health skill increases for all mercenaries equally, without having to do anything.
The speed skill cannot be increased.

- As you asked me, now each object shows the name of its category, so it is possible to immediately understand whether, for example, a sword is two-handed or not.
This is especially useful with the new skill system.

- Now, it is no longer possible to place mercenaries too close together in formation.
Formations are becoming increasingly important in gameplay.

- I added 4 new books.
In practice, they are the "Supreme" version of the existing ones and are gray.

- Defense books now increase all armor types; this is very useful.

- Fixed a bug related to the defense book.

- Increased the size of the skill and item info window.


Have a nice day, and see you next update! :)

• Support for Steam Deck.
  
• Improved animations,
  
• Improved performance and minor bug fixes.

Hello Colonels and Polkovniks,

The previous versions of Southern Storm's developer logs had their images broken after the last round of Imgur culls. With that in mind, we have re-uploaded every single developer log with fixed images. For those of you who haven't yet taken a look at the features that Southern Storm has and how far things have come since Red Storm, this is a great place to get caught up.

Dev Log #1 - The User Interface - Reupload

Dev Log #2 - The Art of Command - Reupload

Dev Log #3 - Creating Scenarios and Battle Plans - Reupload

Dev Log #4 - AI: Building a Better Brain - Reupload

Dev Log #5 - If You Can See It, You Can Kill It - Reupload

Dev Log #6/7 - Features, Improvements, Editors, and Modding - Reupload

There is a ton of very useful information in these logs that really flesh out how the game actually functions under the hood. Included are things like the difference between the Warsaw Pact and NATO in terms of C&C, artillery call-in times, or how spotting and target selection are handled by the AI.

Flashpoint Campaigns: Southern Storm is out now on the Matrix Store and Steam.
