A new free content update arrives for Stardock’s Sins of a Solar Empire II today, bringing with it debris effects, new star types, new tutorials and much more. The Ruins of War update also features quality of life improvements as a result of player feedback, which is always a good thing.
The new Ruins of War update will allow players to leave their mark on the galaxy with the addition of new debris effects after major battles. One thing always missing in space battles was wreckage, but now large structures and ships like Titans, Capital Ships and Starbases will, when destroyed, leave appropriately large amounts of wreckage that will serve as a reminder of victories and defeats.
As players roam through space they will now be able to come across new star types, including white dwarfs, orange stars, red dwarfs, and blue giants. Plus a number of different gravity wells, such as black holes, plasma storms, magnetic clouds and particle fountains. These new gravity wells will affect maneuverability and antimatter generation when approached.
But that’s not all, the Ruins of War update will also introduce new faction icons, updated early-game pacing and new tutorials that explain unique gameplay systems for factions including Trading, Advent Unity and Vasari Phase Resonance.
Players can also expect to see many balances, AI adjustments and quality of life improvements, such as enhanced save game management.
