Horizon: Humans in space gets new patch

[Anguille]

Started my first game last night. It has a very strong MOO2 vibe. In fact it feels exactly like (interface-wise only so far) MOO2 with updated graphics. What I don't like so far is the way techs and ship upgrades work. You just keep upping levels?

When you make research, you unlock new technologies (very much like MOO1 or Lost Empires: immortals) and you can focus on the ones you need most (for example extended range etc). Some techs (like Stargates) can only be found by missions or by digging planets (the ones with a ! i think).

You play a classical game or the mission game?

What do you mean by unlock new technologies? I can see where the tech levels increase (starting at 0 and incrementing by 1 after each one is researched) but is there something else? Is there something that tell what each level does?

I'm playing classic game by the way.

I'll take a fictional example (don't have the tech tree in mind). For example you research Fusion Drive...when you get to level 2 for example, you unlock Fusion rifles and Atomic bombs, each on level 0. This information is also shown in the news.

You can decide to invest in these if you like. So there's more to research than just going from one level to another. You get to focus on specific fields you like.

I like the classical game but the story game is interesting and make the whole thing more living, i'd try once if i were you.

Thanks! I thought I would try classic mode before I jumped into the campaign.  :)
