CHANGES AND ADDITIONS

GALAXY VIEW
Fixed several bugs concerning the galaxy generation.
When more than one other faction is stationed in a system (regardless of the fleets quantity), the player is now able to select which one he wants to attack.
Modified the star systems labels in the galaxy view. You can now see the current production, the hangar capacity and the link between resources and planets.
The user can now access a system hangar from the galaxy screen if there is no fleet in orbit.
Added a chat console. "Return" key is now used for chat in multiplayer. Numpad-Enter does still end turn though.
The player can open the Pause Menu by using ESC.

SYSTEM VIEW
When the user selects any action on a system in the empire management the system is highlighted.
Added some population feedback on planets in the system/planet view.

DIPLOMACY
Diplomacy should be smoother due to a fix on the trends now being capped.
The attitude value has a greater impact on the terms negotiation.
The player is able to offer resources along with peace.
Modified the cease fire term.
Cooperation agreement now takes 30 turns to become a full bonus.

PATHFINDING
Fixed several bugs concerning the pathfinding.
Fixed an issue where the moving fleet always tries to use up all the movement points.
The user can select a specific route for a fleet to take when moving:
- You can now queue movement orders by pressing and holding down SHIFT
- You can now force a fleet to move through empty space by holding down CTRL.
- If you wish to queue movement and travel through empty space press and hold CTRL+SHIFT.

VICTORY CONDITIONS
Modified the economic victory formula:
Economic victory points needed = 500000 + 5000 * (number of systems) - 40000 * (number of players)

FACTIONS
Added the Amoeba, Sower and Pilgrims factions.
Cloning trait has been boosted and now Horatios will have +1 food on all planets.
Deadly Weapons decreased for Hissho, increased for Cravers. Hissho still have the best bonus.

Removed Cravers' Diplomacy2 and changed their Diplomacy1 (only ceasefire exchange choices)
Tuned down the science rate from the Sophons.

INVASION
Changed all invasion mods' values (increased) and some effects.
Now Ground defense is displayed as: "+X Defense per [pop] on System".
Ground defense is now defined by the system's position compared to player and opponent frontiers.

- Neutral (isolated Outpost): 15 Def
- Outpost inside enemy frontiers: 12 Def
Greatly improved Defense bonuses on improvements (5 to 20 => 12 to 100).
Updated Ground Defense bonuses from Melee attribute (+2 => +5, +5%).

HEROES
The hero hiring cost now changes according to number of heroes already in service.
Changed the value of HeroAbilityAdministrator04 & 05 (Minister of Propaganda 1 & 2). We don't want players to be able to nullify overpopulation maluses too soon; on a Hero it could become available after 30/40 turns.

AI
AI personalities have been reinforced to better fit their faction.
The AI is aware of the neutral zones.
Less weapon and defense mod bonuses for the AI on Normal to Impossible difficulties.
Improved the military AI: colony ship protection behavior.
Changed negotiations method for the AI for treaties and exchanges.
The AI will now give a much greater attention to colonization techs if no system can be colonized by his colony ships.
