Status: offline 		Hi all,

Sorry for being slow. I "lost" a week to family obligations and then I caught COVID and lost another week being sick. However I am back in action for the final sprint towards the Steam release. Not all my plans will make it, but there is still time enough after Steam release as well.

In any case... the big news: Shadow Empire now has Air Forces. If you feel like helping beta test and provide feedback then please hop on over to the Open Beta thread: https://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tt.asp?forumid=1780

update:: I finished up the improved Alien Fauna. There are new graphics, new descriptions, names and over 40 different Fauna Feats, reproduction rules and new behaviours (unit movement and combat). Might be interesting for testers who are not interested in air forces :)

Best wishes,
Vic

We will help to post any bugs or suggestions on balancing the air forces, but we also want you to stay healthy, so please don't overcommit

And now to look at the air forces. First thing to figure out: How can I airdrop units on the enemy's supply lines? :)

Air forces look like an amazing addition, there's a ton of added gameplay depth here and I think that's a great thing.

Will Beta 10 ruin my current game or is it compatible ? Should I install it now ?

People who don't like to test the Air Forces might be interested in testing the new Critters ? :)

best wishes,

Perhaps there could be a Burrowing trait to avoid airstrikes?
