New Features Unit Responsiveness - Units now respond faster to move orders and reach their destination more efficiently. Adjusted acceleration and banking speed makes units more responsive to your input, which allows for greater control of your armies. Upgraded Movement - Larger units are now upgraded with improved movement and physics. The new AI tweaks will prevent them from clumping up (and becoming sitting ducks) or for jockeying with each other for position instead of fighting the enemy. Map Ping - You can now coordinate attacks with your teammates by placing a marker on the mini-map. Visible only to members of your team, this feature will allow you to group up before your big assault. |
New Maps Maurn - Charge across the central bridge toward the enemy base, or gun for the victory points around their flanks in this small, two-player map. Monaco - Two bridges: a short route to the north, and a longer (but resource rich) route to the south. Choose your path wisely in this small two-player map. Urich - A wide-open desert with long routes to the enemy base encourages massive clashes between opponents on this medium sized two-player map. Pulaski - Small but rich pockets of resources dot the winding canyons on this medium sized four-player map. Tortuga - The central valley holds victory points and most of the riches, but enemy bases stand in the way on the edges of this small, four-player map. |
