Updated home screen and new meditations.

Hello Admirals,

We just deployed a new patch which fixes some old issues of the campaign and improves the AI. Please read:

*Optimization Update v1.4.1.1 R*
- Fixed old issue of the campaign related to the final recurring technologies. There was a bug in the saving process that could result in ships including at least one type of such technology to become overweight when you loaded the campaign save. This fix cannot repair existing overweight ships but addresses the problem so that it does not happen again for new ship designs or new campaigns.
- Fixed ID issue of the refit procedures which players could create on their games when they used the same names for already made ships. We are unaware if this fix may cause bugs to players that exploited the naming errors to refit ships of other minor nations, but on new campaigns the previous corrupted data which could bug the game in various ways, should not happen again.
- Further Battle AI improvements to fight on a more effective distance and utilize better the Scout/Screen formations.
- Improved further the torpedo friendly fire mechanics, addressing cases of unwanted torpedo fire through large ship formations.
- Other minor fixes.

This patch is probably the last prior to the next major update. The next major update will mainly include several new hulls, the localization of Greek and Korean languages and maybe some new features.

Enjoy!
The Game-Labs Team

Uploaded repaired version including the following
- Reverted the Refit ID fix because it prevented building a refit based on a previous refit design. This was an unwanted error of the new system so we had to take back the feature until it works properly.
- Fixed bug that could make a player accidentally delete all ammo of a selected ship when making a bug report with a shortcut.
Please restart Steam to get this update properly. Users should not allow downloading of updates during gameplay because it may corrupt their installation. This is an advice not only for our game but any game.

Uploaded optimized version including the following
- Brought back the Refit ID fix, which now should work properly. It should also speed up saving procedures and turn times.
- Aiming fine tuning: Gun aiming is sharper, making the rate of fire more significant and the accuracy more realistically balanced.
*Economy balance:*
- Oil resources become even more significant in growth, income and fuel consumption
- Nation growth is normalized in values. There is a more balanced growth during war, revolution and peacetime period, plus growth is shaped up according to GDP, so it distinguishes developed nations of very high GDP from developing nations with too low GDP.
Please restart Steam to get this update properly. Users should not allow downloading of updates during gameplay because it may corrupt their installation. This is an advice not only for our game but any game.

Uploaded optimized x2 version including the following
- Fixed some issues that were reported, causing ships to not be eligible to be constructed into a new refit version although they were available.
Please restart Steam to get this update properly. Users should not allow downloading of updates during gameplay because it may corrupt their installation. This is an advice not only for our game but any game.

Happy 2024, everyone! We just released our second beta update and are heartened by our testers’ excited and constructive feedback. 

Our current development focus continues to be on implementing legislative mechanics and interfaces. Specifically, we’re fine-tuning the budget process, which will inform the rest of our legislative architecture – the federal budget process is the one bit of legislating that Congress must undertake in any given year (in theory). The federal budget may not spring to mind when you think of politics’ more exciting bits, but at the ground level -- where Political Arena lives -- it’s rife with drama. It incorporates many of Political Arena’s most exciting and immersive features and mechanics: issues and policy, special interests, the media, negotiations, personalities and their impact on AI behavior, and more.



On that note, we’re altering our feature roadmap. We had originally planned for our first Early Access release to be “a mile long and an inch deep” by featuring a little bit of everything  – that is, lightly simulated campaigning and legislating. Instead, we’ve decided to have early versions focus solely on legislating. Our reasoning is twofold: 

1. The legislative process hasn’t been thoroughly developed in video games, and we think it’s important to let that part “cook” for longer so we can get more player feedback. 

2. Ultimately, politics boils down to legislating and policy. Special interests typically don’t choose their agenda based on politicians, they choose their politicians based on agendas. This is also how Political Arena’s underlying architecture is structured, so by building out legislative mechanics first, we’ll be able to more seamlessly and quickly produce and scale everything else.

More soon!
