The Nova Patch took away movement from emplaced guns and scepters along with a mirade of other small changes. The patches have changed the way units function on some basic levels. Gameplay: The game play is still turn based but the slow down wall that existed in the original game at turn 5070 has been overcome as have a great deal of the initial bugs of the game. There are still some bugs but all in all the few that are left are well known and easilly played around. For those who have this game on their shelf they should pull it off and give this game another hard look. There are also various galaxy scenarios that exist on the Nova website also developed by the players themselves such as the Rebellion Scenario for Hyperion and Nova, The Hyperion Soren Scenario and the Roman Empire Scenario. At this point in time there are three different patches developed by the players themselves named Nova, Hyperion and Reality. The game has evolved considerably since its inception! The designers released two patches based on the suggestions of the game’s players, then some of the players themselves designed patches which alter how the game plays considerably.

It has in fact been modified drastically over the last few years. Found some more info that might be of interest, apparently there have been patches that fix the slowdown.Įmperor of the Fading Suns still lives.
