Ashes of the Singularity - Patch 2.1 mit neuem Observer-Mode, Unranked und mehr

Das Update 2.1 für Ashes of the Singularity bietet einen neuen Observer-Modus.

Ab sofort steht das Update 2.1 für das Strategiespiel Ashes of the Singularity via Steam zum Download bereit.

Mit dem Patch führt das Team von Stardock Systems unter anderem einen neuen Observer-Mode ein, mit dessen Hilfe die Spieler der KI bei Singleplayer-Partien über die Schulter schauen können. Außerdem ist es ab sofort möglich, Unranked-Multiplayer-Matches gegen andere Spieler auszutragen - völlig losgelöst von der Rangliste.

Hinzu kommen noch diverse Optimierungen, Balancing-Änderungen sowie einige Bugfixes. Die vollständige Liste finden Sie unterhalb dieser Meldung.

Patch-Notes für Ashes of the Singularity v2.1

Features

Single Player Observer Mode - Ever wondered if the AI was better as the Substrate or the PHC? Or if a dozen normal AI's can beat an Insane AI? Setup your own games and watch the AI battle against itself with whatever maps and settings you want.
Supply Lines Game Option - Disable this when starting your game to remove the requirement that Regions have to be connected to your Nexus to provide resources. There are now over 4.7 million configurations of map options to play a game with (and that doesn't even count all the possible maps or player settings).
Unranked Match - Allows you to play a 1 versus 1 multiplayer game that is automatically matched, but your results don't effect your ranking. Good for practicing new tactics or playing a more casual multiplayer game.
Espana - New Medium Arctic map available for skirmish, multiplayer and ranked games.
Rus - New Small Desert map available for skirmish, multiplayer and ranked games.
Italia - New Terran Medium map available for skirmish, multiplayer and ranked games.
