Pandora: First Contact is easily one of the best turn-based strategy games I've enjoyed since Alpha Centurai & Master of Orion 2, the developers are really working well at supporting it with big updates like this too.
The game is also due to drop onto Steam at the end of this month and previous purchasers will get Steam keys!
I actually did a review of the game back in November of last year and since then it has changed quite a bit with major patches.
The new 1.3 update is huge, along with plenty of bug fixes it also adds a ton of new options and features like shared vision between allies which is increadibly useful in a game like this. There is also a spectator mode if you like to watch people duke it out.
See the full change-log here.
About
Pandora: First Contact is a science fiction 4X turn-based strategy game on a planetary scale.
In the future, factions have risen up from opportunities and ideologies independent of governments. Private corporations and religious movements have started wars over greed, ideology and power. Many have died and many lands lay in ruin. Planet Earth has been exhausted and colonial attempts on other planetary bodies have been in vain.
Finally, after decades of exploration, an interstellar probe has brought promise of a new world many light-years away. The most powerful factions have gathered their best men and women to send on a long journey to Pandora.
Far from desolate, the earth-like planet has been found to host a plethora of indigenous life forms. While the gigantic monstrosities inland and at the oceans seem relatively calm, human-sized bugs and fungus are threatening to stop mankind's expansion.
As the various factions strive to take control, each will research and develop numerous new technologies, discovering new weapons and industry, whilst opening trade agreements and forging alliances with other factions to gain a foothold. As they spread, they will discover ancient ruins from alien civilizations that will grant them advantages over their rivals.

Looks very reminiscent Alpha Centauri, one of my most beloved strategy/sim games. Going to have to pick this one up.

Really does. It's like Alpha Centauri with modern graphics. I'm getting it. Although I'm still looking forward to the new Civ/Alpha C.
