Definitely going to try it out, but I wish you'd post a list of changes so we can see how certain things have changed. Makes testing a lot easier.

EDIT: Looks like when you load it they show some of the changes. I barely see any gameplay changes though. There are a lot of minor tweaks for graphics and other settings, but outside of "can not found a colony within 4 hexes of another" and "all adjacent hexes to a colony are immune to other players' claims for 60 seconds" there wasn't much listed. Maybe I'm missing something in the list or it simply isn't posted.
