Still seeing some typos around 'Propeller' spelt at 'Proppeler".

Bravo. I've tried from time to time, to lower the tax rate to boost the private economy. It seemed, based on my very limited experience, that it was a much better strategy to raise taxes. Each should have favorable and unfavorable ramifications - glad you're thinking about that.

Excellent Update, Vic...thank you.
btw per typos, the Victory Screen still shows one of the 'score' words as 'scor'
No biggie, just thought I would mention it.
Again, thank you for all your work on this great game.

Hey Vic, I've listed like 12 minor air related issues here, because I didn't feel like making separate threads:

Small typo on the Victory Overview screen:
"You need to have a Victory Scor higher than 50 while..."
Missing "e" in "Scor".

On the Trade Report screen:
"Our trade analysts have compiled you the following report."
Should be:
"Our trade analysts have compiled the following report for you."

Thank you so much for making air forces optional!
I'm really interested in trying it out!
I'm going to wait for Steam release and then play there :)

Congrats on making it out of beta.
The update worked for me.

By the way, I have a small question about air base points. Is there a way to see how many air base points my airforce is actually using up? Or how many unspent points I have remaining on a hex?

The automatic updater says the minimum version needed for the update is 1.02 which I have but it wouldn't allow me regardless.

You don't download the latest version from the thread, you have to click on "check for updates" in the launcher.

That's new. I have always gotten it immediately from the thread. Like, within minutes.

I think this new version is still the #76 version i downloaded it as per usual, but the in the dash it shows #76

Edit: don't know how to delete this message, but i realized afterwards the beta has finished and officially the game has been updated.

Edit again: however although it shows 1.06.03 on the main game screen it still shows #76 on the dashboard screen

Hi,

The game probably wants you to have installed an official version that's later than what you've got. (Vic's files only copy over the source files, they don't manage the game updater)

I would recommend going to https://www.matrixgames.com/member/downloads/shadow-empire and downloading the 1.05.00 Installer to rebase your game files then do the 1.06.03 installer.

Minor new version v1.06.04 posted.

Fixed a few small issues.

Thanks for the continued testing to all participating!

We caught a lot the last weeks just before Steam release.

Best wishes,
Vic

Does this need a new game? Because I just tried designing a new 4 engine plane in an existing game and it still doesn't show the propeller efficiency tech.

It looks to me like payload optimisation might not be applying to air-to-surface rockets (and I'm guessing also to air-to-air missiles, but I can't check that right now), is that intended or a potential oversight?

And posted beta version 106.06

Good moment to patch up as we have a sizable amount of new players incoming from Steam and any bug that gets got today, is better than tomorrow :)

Best wishes and big thanks for all the feedback.

-Added possible Protests by the Population against perceived too high Income Tax, they will mostly trigger when you have high Income Tax versus low Government Profile. But other problems will make the population sensitive to high Income Tax as well. -Upto 10% you should always be fine whatever happens. It is really meant as a counter balance to player raising Income Tax really high 40%,50%,60% without going all out on Government Profile. *

This sounds cool, but does the game say anywhere that having a higher Government profile makes people okay with higher taxes? I'm just a bit worried that that would turn into a secret game mechanic.

In fact, do the other regime profiles already have some hidden passive effects like this that I am not aware of?
