We've been making more improvements based on feedback from beta testing, here are the changes for 1.3.1:

1. Added game option to "distribute planets evenly" to allow for more variety in where planets are placed on the game grid
2. Added game option for turn time limit so that turns auto-end after the timer is up
3. Resources are now generated before population food consumption and starvation at the end of the turn, this reduces "surprise" starvation.
4. Player points are now assigned as progress towards galactic conquest is achieved.
5. Added high score board to display the "Top Rulers".
6. Improved chat room behavior, players are now joined directly into the lobby chat room and player points are reflected each turn in the chat room.
7. Lobby game list updates as new games are created and updated.
