- New option to restore MoO1 combat resolution: Unlike in MoO1, damage inflicted by weapons in RotP is not affected by the difference between attack and defense levels. (Only affects the probability of hitting.) In MoO1, a high differential between attack and defense increases the weapon's minimum damage. This gives kittens a boost.

- Custom images can be put in an "images" folder located in the same folder as the jar file.
- The folder structure inside the images folder must be the same as the original one, and the file type must be the same as specified in the txt files.
- Fixed useless creation of empty race files.
- When there is more than 31 empires, Replay will now list all of tem in smaller font size.
- Fixed some missing French dialog. (By default there was no pacific contact dialog for species that are never pacifist... Except when customized!)
- Fixed custom player dialog display.
- Fixed language change for custom species.
- Custom species are now built from their animation species.
- Fixed certain texts that extended beyond the boxes.

-
Complete overhaul of species management.
- The "Race" class now consists of skills and animations.
- However, the Race factory remains unchanged.
- Custom species can choose their animations and assign them names, leaders, and home world.
- This for Multiple civilizations per species.
- This in multiple languages.
- A new GUI is now available for this purpose.
- The distribution of skills, animations, names, and civilizations is managed by a new "Species" class and includes all "Race" methods that were previously in the Empire class.
- Then the Empire Class now extends the Species class to get back all these methods.
- A "species factory" is now responsible for assembling species according to player requests.
- A new option allows empires to be assigned from custom species that have selected an animation with dedicated names.
- The "Race" class now consists of skills and animations.
-
Current limitations:
- The number of civilizations per species is currently limited by the interface, which only allows for one row of tabs.
- This also limits the number of languages.
