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
  
• You can right-click on a suggestion to hide it for four turns
  
• Suggestions were sometimes not being displayed properly when holding a claim to a collapsed colony or dead faction
  

Marriage

• Rulers are less likely to marry off their children as soon as they come of age
  
• When a couple in love get married, the romance ends without negative emotions
  
• It is no longer possible for an acting head to marry a character if, as a result, they would leave the house
  
• When you marry off a character, they no longer get reported as a departing visitor
  

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
