January 25, 2024 v1.0.2.156 We have a small update to refine a couple of things based on feedback and also shed some light on how the game difficulty settings affect the game, which we hope will help both new & veteran players. Colonization * A.I. Empires with Neutral or Friendly relations will no longer colonize planets inside the outer border area (indicated by the dotted line) of other empires. Previously only the star system where a race owned planets were off-limits. Diplomacy * Reduced the chance A.I. Empires will complain or make threats to the player for 'Expanding too fast'. Note that

December 26, 2023 v1.0.2.155 Load Troops * Increased the allowed range for ships to complete a Load Troops order from the assigned planet.

September 22, 2023 v1.0.2.150 An important update to fix a couple of issues: Crash Fix * Fixed a bug introduced in the last patch that could cause a hard crash in late game. Turn Events * Fixed a notification issue where a Unit on receiving Fighters would link to the wrong taskforce name. A.I. Colonization * Improved how A.I. races select a planet for colonization. They are now more likely to pick the best available surveyed planet instead of any one of the top three candidates.

Horizon Summer 2023 update August 28 Some of you may be asking why an update now? Over the years some features were requested many times while some bugs, minor ones may be but that nonetheless came to our attention. And while we have been very busy working on the successor of Horizon it was always in the back of our mind to do another update to our beloved game. So this is Part I, the gameplay affecting update for everyone. There will be a second part, an optional pack, more on that as soon as we have it ready. What's new . Research speed - can now be customized in play settings at the start.
