Hello everyone,
Pax Nova EA 0.5.3 is now live! This patch includes some important bug fixes as well as some significant balancing changes in some critical areas, such as pacing, AI, the tech tree and the Science and Score victory conditions. It also comes with some more additions such as new artwork and some UI improvements so hopefully this patch can serve as a nice appetizer for the first major update coming up in July.
We would also like to thank everyone who took time to post feedback, suggestions and bug reports so far. They've been a huge help for us so we hope you keep them coming as we are always listening to what you have to say.
Having said that, have a great week and enjoy!
