Nice and reasonable. Looking forward to witness idyllistic-slavers builds as a new meta for raw resource production
Agrarian Idyll and Ringworlds seems to make for a nice combo with these new changes.
New invasion screen (probably WIP)
Check the new invasion screen.
Being honest, it seems pretty bland right now. I hope this is the beginning of a juicy rework.

It’s in progress. They’ll probably have the artists whip up some nice army unit symbols when they have free time to make it look cooler.
It's not going to happen, but it would be cool if they had 2 frame animated units instead of circles with icons
I don't think that'd work very well- what would the units look like? How do you represent entire armies from wildly different species with wildly different tech?
I'd figure that considering each army unit is to a degree the same thing, you would generalise the imagery and probably put soldiers into full suits (Eg Commandos already have a visual representation based on their tech thumbnail, so they would look like that).
You could maybe design each race type to have a differing image, where the suit design could reflect the ship or race type, but like I said I'm not expecting it to happen as it would be a lot of work for artists - would be nice though.
(And a single unit representing a whole army is not so dissimilar to a single circle with an icon)
An icon representing an army makes more sense than a single type of asset from that army representing it.
Like, armies aren't just little mans. They're also tanks and aircraft and all that stuff.
I would argue that representing armies as a full unit complete with armaments is more artwork intensive than representing it with 'little mans' though.
Which is why I'm not advocating either of those- I'm happy with the little tactical icons.I would argue that representing armies as a full unit complete with armaments is more artwork intensive than representing it with 'little mans' though.
Remember that if you want to visually represent armies, you will have to make it for each portrait.
Icons are a much more reasonable way to represent armies.

Well, the fact that you have to build farms instead of cities will mean that you'll actually have to stick to these agarian districts, regardless if you need the food or not. What usually happens is that these get dismantled first once you run out of district space to make room for cities.
Also, it means Farms on a Ringworld are probably your best choice. Imagine 100 farmer jobs at late game tech efficiency - that is *a lot* of food.
You don't need to build farms necessarily instead of cities though, because all primary extraction districts have the +1 housing. It's just as likely you'll be able to have just enough farms and more mine and energy districts, and those just enough farms will also contribute to your amenities meaning less slots spent on those.
It seems strange to me that Agrarian Idyll also improves mining and generating energy.
I thought it'd be more focused on farming districts (like give -1 housing for every districts except for farmining which get +2)

You will at some point have to, because the techs that grant +housing on cities give +housing on farms instead.
It's pretty much an anti-urban civic, and you probably don't want to punish a player all too hard for the misfortune of only having 2 F deposits on a planet.
So they ditched the orbit/atmosphere/surface layers. I wonder for what reason they had even put that in.
How does this work if you switch in and out of the civic? Will you be able to research both the +farm housing and +city housing techs?
Most likely had design ideas about anti-space weapons lke DistantWorlds at some point..
