Pax Nova is now available!

Facing eradication, humanity left Earth behind and set off into the cosmos, believing in the promise of a better life in Eos. A peaceful reconstruction of our lives, however, proved difficult.

This transmission goes out to all (soon to be) intergalactic settlers out there -- Pax Nova has spent enough turns in Early Access and is now fully released! We’ve also got a new trailer to celebrate. Take a look and spot some new stuff, like the big ol’ mech Behemoth.

And for our new cosmic visitors (hello), here’s a quick rundown of some of the things you can expect in Pax Nova:

• Explore the secrets of Eos, both on land and in space

• Expand your reach across multiple different planets and systems

• Exploit the finite strategic resources of each planet you come across

• Exterminate your enemies using customizable units and spacecraft

• Set an Example (running out of 'Ex' jokes here) to other factions by creating your own custom civilization from scratch

Does that tickle your fancy? Does the thought of intergalactic conquest excite you? Then we would urge you to give Pax Nova a go! The game will be on sale during the launch week, and will have a post-Early Access price increase after that week to $29,99 USD, € 24,99 EUR, and £23.79 GBP

AI improvements

• AI now values its capital city much more and cities in general

• AI now takes Trust into consideration when selling technology

• AI now better evaluates whether or not to use diplomatic options like praise, denounce, etc and now won't use them when they barely met a player

• AI now makes buying and selling seals much harder, and now also takes how powerful both factions are into consideration when valueing these

• And way, way more.

Other changes

• Selected units now show the diplomatic status of the faction that controls it relative to the player

• Made Land Portals less likely to be generated

• Added option in city panel to show tile yields outside borders, useful when building residential districts and planning ahead to the tiles the city could grow to

• Made several Districts faster to build

• Decreased cost of university and Military Academy local projects

• Players can now block all non critical communications from the AI such as proposals by using the respective option in the diplomacy menu
