Star Lords Version 1.12 Released

Fixed a few major bugs and added in a few feature for beta testing.  The Major bugs were game crashes when trying to process a turn.  Fix the cloaking bug, where a certain ship design could never be detected.  Add the Planet Build Minister and the Trade Minister.  These two features are new and is consider a beta feature.  Please save your turn before activating the command.  While I have not ran into bugs with it yet, I still haven't had the time to test it extensively. To have the Ministers build or set trade routes, just left click on them.  You have to do each turn, but once you do, they will plan all your planet build queue (for planet minister) and all your trade ships (trade minister).  You can still modify the queues and trade after selecting the minister to build/trade.  If you activate the planet minister again, it will reset your planet build queue to what it wants to build, the trade minister however will not reset your changes.

Star Lords Version 1.10 Released

Fixed another ship building bug that would not let you build anymore ships.  This bugged occur when a player max out their ships and have more ships inline to built.  Also big battles also had a few case where ships were not being deleted properly cause to have ghost ship to hang around.  Hopefully this is the last of the ships bugs.

Star Lords Version 1.06 Released

We are pleased to announce that Star Lords version 1.06 has been released to the public.  Our 1.05 version fixed many gameplay bugs, but as we were fixing bugs, our core engine was being upgraded and in the process introduce a bug into Star Lords.  This was an interface only bug, but made the game unplayable for those wanting to custom design their ships.  The bug made it impossible to design your ships and made the interface super slow.  We like to thank Ron B. for his timely bug report to allow us to catch the bug quickly.  When we were testing we didn't custom build any ship.  We appologies for any inconvience this may have cause our users and hope new user can be forgiving of our mistake.

Here is a brief listing of feature of the AutoHost.  It can be downloaded from our download link or here.

Automaticaly check email for turn files.
