Major Update 1 News: Tooltip Mania!

Solar Nations

Command grand fleets and wage strategic wars on an interstellar scale in this new take on galactic Grand Strategy. Transform nature to suit the needs of Empire and surge forward! Will you guide aspiring interstellar nations to glory, or rekindle the flames of a long lost Empire?

It's time to talk about the lifeblood of any strategy game, the tooltips! Now, I know what you're thinking, but these unsung heroes are responsible for bringing strategy games to life by helping players understand what that cool looking button actually does. It goes without saying that Solar Nations' relationship with tooltips hasn't been the best, and that is something I have sought to rectify. Using a couple of new discoveries, the tooltips of Solar Nations will be getting a huge makeover in Major Update 1, which will make them more colorful and readable!

In addition, tutorial tooltips are now in bullet point format in order to avoid daunting paragraphs.
