Linux Version out now – Update 1.12

The latest update of the Imagine Earth delivers the long-awaited native Linux version.

The basic idea is that the players don’t have to build up a civilization first, but find a relatively heavily built-up planet with cities. So you become directly the rebuilder and improver of the world, which is an exciting challengel. The emissions balance is also already tipping into the negative, so climate change is imminent. So you have to consider with all expansion steps to compensate the additional emissions of the new buildings and additional supply buildings with reforestation and other methods.

In return, you’ll find plenty of infrastructure and technology on the planet that you can take over and optimize through strategic realignment.

This technology is tested out and it needs to balance planets in this game mode to make it fun and challenging.

The key updated features:

• New construction ring
• Hitech building in technology panel
• The Takeover Panel
• Population free areas on the planet
• Gamepad – Major changes
