[quote who="Gatokatcha" reply="1" id="3643202"] It looks beautiful. I can see the extractors built and unbuilt. Are the numbered rectangle units ? The 01 indicating 1 unit ? The dots to the side an indicator of health ? It's the same map on the minimap but the situation looks different how is it possible? [/quote] It's a mockup.

Greetings! Season 2 has been delayed until the end of this month so that we can get in contact with the finalists. That gives us a bit more time to get the observer mode feature in and prep for Season 2 balance changes. Below, in no particular order, are some of the upcoming balance changes: T1 units are now slightly faster PHC Athena is somewhat slower PHC Brute squad size reduced from 6 to 5, firepower and HP on each un

[quote who="ElanaAhova" reply="8" id="3640323"] When we stopped dealing with our neighbors (main street) for our shopping, we embraced the abyss. "Corporations' milk the 'masses.' Yes, we hope the corporation will 'vet' the products. But there is way too much money to be made 'off' skimming the multitudes. When word finally gets out to enough people, the perps walk free, bcuase its a corporation that did it - not actual flesh and blood

We are working on the Escalationi campaign now. It is currently going to be comprised of two episodes and both take place before Imminent Crisis. Anyone want to volunteer some character names?

As far as our lore goes, there are currently 5 races that we know of at this moment. The PHC knows of 3 including themselves. The Substrate know of 4. Our computer hardware is not yet good enough to do justice to the 5th race so it'll be sometime before they show up.

We have indeed run into two problems: HANGS in multiplayer and an outright crash in single player. The hang has to do with certain network behavior that is not super friendly with our asyncronous job system. We think we have a fix for it and have it ready to be pushed. The recent crashes are almost entirely GPU related that we think we've found a work around and again, expect that to be rolled out tomorrow. We expect tomorrow's update to also integrate some n

The Ashes community is pretty awesome. The reason we're able to balance things so well/quickly is really because of them. They give us way too much credit. Check out the forums here and on Steam. If you're an RTS gamer, you probalby know how rough most of those forums are. Ashes, by contrast, has a very positive community. And as others have said, it's definitely not about APM.

[quote who="BadVoltage" reply="2" id="3638886"] Sorry, I wasn't clear, I meant it had a dialog pop up asking for e-mail address and um... something else, and then a submit button. That dialog. I tried the first mission in DX12, all was fine there. I went back to DX11, and I did get a freeze of around 5-6 mins before it resumed again. [/quote] That is odd indeed. I don't suppose

[quote who="awuffleablehedgie" reply="1" id="3638732"] f i understand correctly, the most-recent expansion will always be available in ranked. So players can buy the base game and get all the map/unit upgrades for free for use in Ranked? That is stupendous. [/quote] As long as they play ranked MP, they'll have the same experience as the Escalation players.
