Does this expansion have any influence on all scenarios?
I'm in the middle of one and wonder if things will change during this scenario, or new ones on the base game planets, when I install the dlc.
I already got the update yesterday on Xbox.

Elements like the Forgotten & Wildlife, Anomalous sites and such get added during the first generation of the map so those won't get added retroactively. Nothing to major should change outside of the various balance changes & fixes that we did.

Thank you for your quick reply.
Those anomulous sites look very nice, well all of the expansion does actually.
I'm off to the store then

You should announce also that there are new music tracks!

Had time only for a quick look due to other things. Started the first mission of new campaign and they are already throwing new stuff in your face Heritors, anomalus, new units. Forgotten are so cool, speaking of them wonder if the whole entropy and essence mechanics will work out. New music tracks are very atmospheric, love them. Great work and can't wait to play some more.

Great job on the artwork for the new units, guys. I love the look of the Golem and the RPR units. But my favorite is of course...

PIGGIES!!!

The previous post about a Mac port alluded to the fact that the last AOW for Mac release coincided with the expansion pack and planetfall may do the same. Now that the expansion pack is out, do we know when it will be released for the Mac?

Those pigs are horror, my first encounter was quite the awakening and didn't end well to be honest, love it though.

15€ for this... I'm disappointed I was waiting for at least one new faction instead of a new tech.

Triumph was crystal clear on the content. And Imo it's worth every penny. It's not fanboy talk (which is hard as I'm a fan of this game), just relatively comparing to other stuff you can get for this price for other games. And remember even if this could be a bit cheaper (worth mentioning it's cheaper via season pass), it might be Paradox policy here. You don't exactly get a new faction, but you're getting two new "sub-factions", Heritors and Forgotten. New units with some of the best design in the game yet, like Eater of the Dead. Anomalus sites which give you plenty of flavor and cool new stuff (now that I tried a few I can only say this will probably be one of my favourite mechanics). Not to mention new mods and items (like this groovy new toxic scythe). And a slew of new music tracks (which I'm loving already with their ominous retro-cyber vibe). And there's still more, like new battlefields (seems some anomalus sites have unique battlefields). What more can you ask from a dlc 3 months after a games release? You will get you're new factions with the next two dlc, cosmic cats or dragons or sth

addon Revolution mistake killed balance. The error is that after resurrection all properties are available again. For example, You have 8 units that have a mod for resurrection. During 1 turn kill all units except 1. The last unit resurrects 1 unit, the resurrected unit resurrects the next. And so on chain all units alive. On the next turn, everything is repeated and so on indefinitely, if there is at least one unit with an unused resurrection. Play against the one who has the resurrection is impossible. Sorry for the bad English.

 

[advo from Future]

Thus, in the presence of several units with resurrection-they endlessly resurrect each other.

 

[DragonZee]

You mean resurrect resets after unit death? Well this is a bug/exploit so I suppose devs will adress it...

yes i mean this. I hope devs do it, but now it is impossible to play against a player who has several units with a mod for resurrection. The problem is wider-resurrection should not reset abilities. Especially the ability used once per battle or once in a few turns.

 

[advo from Future]

another mistake (Less critical). Resurrection resets the property "studied" (it is used by experts of Amazons and it gives -2 to resistance to any damage), which contradicts logic. I. e. if studied is any kind of units (for example 3 unit same species), then if one of them died and was resurrected - after this 2 unit will "studied" and have -2 to any damage, and one such same unit studied not will.

 

[DragonZee]

It appears Resurrect has some bugginess in it, devs please look into it. Btw, just a question as I don't use the ability very often: isn't it possible to like kill off the units before they resurrect another one? I don't remember how it works but aren't those having reduced HP and movements after "getting up"?
