Hey guys, Galimulator 4.0 beta is out! Please give it a try, let me know how it works, what platform you are on, what shoe size you have, etc etc. Changelog:
Also, for me (windows 10 64bit), having a menu on settings (e.g. Emperor Difficulty) makes it impossible to click any other menu until you select an option (including the current setting). Also, clicking elsewhere in the menu window doesn't close it with the current option, as I'd expect for a dropdown menu.
There's the occurence I call the "Marauder Train". The Marauders all spawn in the same position and follow the same movement pattern, so if many are spawned in a quick succession, there will be a large train of destruction that spews missiles everywhere while traversing long connections. I urge you not to remove this, it's hilarious.
Can I make a suggestion for an addition? How about depending on an empire's stats and the stars they own, they get a population that increases wealth and (in the case of individual stars) boost the defense/attack whenever attempting to expand?
And I think it would be cool if ships showed signs of damage whenever at low health.
Also, Pirate Ships!
So much of this update makes things smoother and easier, but I noticed on my Mac that the ancestry feature was taken away from the menus for individual empires, and when trying to zoom in on any of the empires in the genealogy screen (after scrolling) it always picks the wrong one. That feature used to make it very easy to track empire histories, I don't know if you thought it was redundant.
