v.70 adds Ice Maps, Orbitals, New "Cruiser Factory" building, and more!

Progress for Ashes of the Singularity is moving along nicely and the Dev Team is pleased to present you with their latest update, v.70! This update includes a lot of exciting new features and bug fixes. For a full and detailed change log, check the bottom of the post.

Orbitals

The new Orbital Command and the Orbital Fabricator buildings now offer you new ways to wage war with your enemies by ordering various types of assaults or assistance from above. The following orbitals are being added with this update:

Incursion: Take your enemy by surprise and drop a small raiding force behind their lines for an attack they won't see until it's shooting them right in the face.

Plasma Storm: Your enemy will get a real "charge" out of this one! This orbital strike affects an area of your choice and damages all enemy units and buildings over time within that area.

Intensive Care: Is there a doctor in the house? Well, there is now! Heal friendly units and buildings within an affected area with this orbital.

Call Engineer: Engineers too slow and never around when you REALLY need them? Now you can deliver an engineer to a selected spot on the map and have them begin work immediately, without all of that pesky down time.

Ice Maps

Winter is coming...and so are the Ice Maps! The team has added four new maps to the game: Shredded, Crater, Triad, and Frosthaven. As a bonus, Scorpio, Cerius, Aven and Frosthaven maps now also have night environments! Check out these screen shots - we think they're pretty... cool .









Cruiser Factory

Is your early game stuck on "cruise" control? Not anymore! Cruiser units now have their own dedicated factory required for construction. This allows for more variety and interest in early-game decisions as you start to construct your base and raise your army.

There are some more changes, additions, and bug fixes in v.70 which you can read about in detail below. We hope you enjoy the new features!
