New update 1.5.3 for Sword of the Stars - Born of Blood


Update 1.5.3 was released for Born of Blood, the official add-on to the highly acclaimed 4X space strategy game for the PC Sword of the Stars. This exemplifies leading Publisher Lighthouse Interactive and accomplished developer Kerberos Productions’ continued commitment to the vast Sword of the Stars community.



Note: This patch requires version 1.5.2 installed (or an installation of SOTS CE)

  • AI Optimizations – Hiver turn processing much faster on low-end machines
  • Command point bonus in combat bug fixed – players were getting less ships than they should, but players with the same number of ships got the same bonus (very rare bug)
  • Players can now properly join multiplayer through command line for use with Xfire
  • Corrections and improvements to auto resolved combat, particularly for certain random encounters and a few overlooked weapons

GAME SUMMARY

Take control and build the ultimate empire in Sword of the Stars. In classic 4X style, prepare to eXplore mysterious star systems, claim planets to eXpand your empire, eXploit your resources, then design and build your own bigger, faster, stronger ships to eXterminate your enemies in epic, tactical, 3D battles in single or multiplayer.

In Born of Blood, over 30 years have passed since the first stellar empires began to expand. Four races once set out to explore and conquer the galaxy, meeting in fiery clashes that spanned the universe, but now a promising age of diplomacy emerges.
A new alien race rises shattering the uneasy peace. With new drive systems, ships, technology and tactics, the Zuul burst onto the scene with a devastating agenda. Form alliances and learn to work with your foes as you lead your fleets to victory in a universe at war.
