New major update! From the feedback I have gotten I decided to make some MAJOR changes to Navalia. Especially to the battles. There are now many more Queens in one battle (up to 12 when it was 5 earlier). Two new queen types added to the game! Also, big changes to enemy behavior. Enemy ships now act more like an insect swarm and AI is handled by a separate thread that allows for more enemies in a battle. DETAILS: - Two new queen types! Killer queens that can disable your ships shields and target your mothership instead of the planet. Healer queen that decreases the damage your weapons do to ships in its range. So now there are 4 different queen types. I think this is quite a good addition considering that when released Navalia only had one/two queen types depending on how you counted the supply ships.

This allows big increase in queen count. Previously the max number of queens in battle was 5 now its 12! In addition, the GPU memory use is now lower than before as the queens can use same textures. - Enemy battle AI completely rewritten. The enemy now behaves more like one swarm. Also swarm size affects the difficulty by boosting enemy ship damage. I also separated the AI calculations to new CPU thread. This allows for more large-scale battles.

You can now group your ships by pressing G + 1,2,3.... and then you can select your ship group by pressing CTRL + 1,2,3...
