    Cool preview, Smolka. How many polygons are there in the alien queen model? Does it cause any lag?

    Cyclops
    These one eyed giants serve the Kingdom of Daemos with their spiky clubs.
    Also. the nobility of Daemos will ride chariots.

    Grim Reapors

    These scythe wielding troops are more than mere peasants. They now harvest the heads of their foes.
    This unit is recruitable by both Kingdom of Daemos and Cryptic Empire.
    Their heads are part of a royalty free model from www.turbosquid.com


    Dunebeasts
    These lumbering animals live in the desert on the Southern Continent. Both the Kingdom of Dune and Boorania have domesticated them for use in battle. While capable of devastating charges, they are also known for their habit of defecating on the enemy. While the unicorns dislike the smell of dunerunners and toerogs, no one likes the odor these beasts leave behind.

    The Tusken Raider heads are from www.scifi3d.com
    The mounts were made using models by Scott Ayers. http://www.morphography.uk.vu/dlscott.html

    Happy Easter

    Update: Unit recruitment is now set up in the EDB. I am now balancing the campaign map.
    Also, the campaign has one event using the Mongol invasion script. Several Cryptic Empire armies of Walking Tanks and Speeders will spawn on the southern continent. This event occurs when a second Cryptic space ship crashes on the planet and adds reinforcements to the Cryptic Empire, which is in the campaign from the beginning.



    When this event occurs, several units will become recruitable, including all flamethrower units as well as this new unit.

    Dunebeast Artillery
    The "sand people" have always been quite handy with explosives. They have even managed to reverse engineer the Cryptic rocket launchers and make their own, which they now mount on their sturdy dunebeasts. This unit will be available to Kingdom of Dune and Boorania.

    This is cool! The smoke effect from the rocket looks a little blocky though.

    I noticed this as well, however, it's just the vanilla rockets. I didn't modify this.

    New Projectile: Plasma bursts!
    The Cryptic Speeders will now fire pulses of flaming plasma. No more orange bullets.


    This is a Sith Speeder model by Sebastian Van Halm on www.scifi3d.com. The gun and the goblin are royalty free models from www.turbosquid.com.

    Nice! Are you working on implementing custom sounds for the units and effects too?

    Not for this release. I haven't had any luck with the sound effects files yet. The plasma guns still sound like guns.
    The only new sounds in the game are for the elephant mounts. Thanks for reminding me, though, as I just found an error that caused the game to crash. Some of the new sounds weren't 352kbps and caused the crash. This is now fixed.

    New Unit: Spino
    These large predators are native to the volcanic island. They are recruitable by the Atraco.

    This unit uses the troll animation. Credit for the troll animation goes to Eothese.
    This model was made using parts of the Rancor from www.scifi3d.com and models by Scott Ayers at http://www.morphography.uk.vu/dlscott.html

    Thank you Smolka, good work.

    EDIT: Maybe i have found a bug: in the attached picture there is an ogre general in the water

    here there is the descr_strat entry:
    character Ugg, admiral, male, age 20, x 267, y 115
    army
    unit cog exp 0 armour 0 weapon_lvl 0
    unit cog exp 0 armour 0 weapon_lvl 0


    character Wreck, named character, male, age 20, x 373, y 254
    army
    unit cog exp 0 armour 0 weapon_lvl 0
    unit cog exp 0 armour 0 weapon_lvl 0

    maybe Wreck should be an admiral?

    Yes, you're right! I never lifted the fog of war to check this. They will all drown when you hit the turn button. The Kingdom of Far Far Away loses one navy right off the bat. It shouldn't affect any of the playable factions though. I will have to fix this for the next release.
    I never thought when I named him "Wreck" that he would be an instant shipwreck.

    What I spotted:

    - Horus, Anubis and nations from Atraco REALLY love merchants.
    - It´s me or Scorp, which is supposed to be the most influent Pyramid faction, is somewhat weak when talking about expanding?
    - Spinos, when starting to charge, crash the game.
    - Too many agents/generals without traits.

    and a Question:

    - When heavier units are unlocked? right now, I got all Castle´s stables and barracks upgrades for Ozz (playing as Ceroleans) and didn´t notice any real difference, (excluding peasant units on late barracks 0_o ). So... the tech tree is broken or the units are unlocked only after "year x"? (while this, I´m surviving hordes of Aridian heavy units only with low teir tech :/ )

    I think Scorp are expanding slowly because they are surrounded by very strong rebels. Most factions will have trouble taming those islands.
    Most of the Ceroleans' better units are only available on the volcanic island. The goal of their campaign is to colonize that continent and conquer the Atraco and Cipactli.
    These AOR units include the Cerolean Heavy Cavalry, Cerolean Swordsmen, Cerolean Swordmasters, Cerolean Pikemen, Cerolean Crossbowmen, and Altans.
    You'll need King's Stables in order to recruit Cerolean Armored Cavalry.
    Since there are so few castles on the map, I made most units recruitable in the cities.

    Thank you! I will focus on Atraco after destroying the Brutes and making peace (or at least try) with Aridia.

    No, the models from the second beta are the same. However, I have reduced the number of soldiers per unit for some of the higher poly models.
