    Huge thanks to Armstrong for updating the model in order to add new weapons to it! Absolutely revolutionary!

These are all the changes! Thanks for reading this. Give the mod a try and please tell me what you think. I am totally open for feedback and would like to improve this mod as we go along.
If you have translations of my mods you can send them to me and I'll add them!
I'll write down what my plans are and how likely they are to become a reality for this mod! (Hopefully all)

Definitely happening:
  • Continued balancing of the mod
Most likely happening:
  • More balancing mods (Like the Astra for example cause the Baneblade can use some love) Please tell me if you'd like these too and which factions!
Further updates coming in version 2.5

- New Hero
- New building

Update: Sorry about the lack of updates and the promised now content! A lot of (Positive) changes are going in my life and these are consuming my time! But I shall release the (Almost) full balance changes meant for the next big update right now so you fella's have something to play around with. It's a highly experimental update so please share any feedback/opinion and please report bugs! The update is out now!

The support turret has a known issue with it's firing animation which I aim to resolve in the next big update, along with other things to Polish this mod.

Nice! I might give it a try tomorrow, especially if my impossible campaign is obliterated. I'm excited about those support drones. No problem lol, it's always great to see more unit mods.
Katalon  [author] 25 Jul @ 1:29am 
If you're expierencing problems however please report them here and I shall look into it!

Apologies for the late response. Steam must have put their seal agent's on this case to hide the message from me
Katalon  [author] 24 Jul @ 11:58pm 
Yes, Totally! :D
BlissDefiler 21 Jul @ 12:08pm
