Today, we finally have a new version of WH40K : Rival Species! It feels like an early Christmas present and has a lot of changes inside. So what did we do since our last Beta 1.200?
First things first, the most important change surely is the way you can access the better classes and weapons in the new version. Unlike before, you get to choose from a small subset at the start and while you stick to the game, your set of choices grows. Only if you are successful of course. So far it might sound familiar from certain other mods, but the difference is, that your success stays with your STEAM_ID on the server that you play on! As well, your success is measured by the strength of the enemy that you encounter. A strong enemy will give quite a lot more points for your choices than a weak one.
But that is not everything we have in this new version for you. Our immense amount of content grew by another species, the Imperial Guard! Still a bit underrepresented, they call for your support to make them conquer the dark universe of Warhammer 40,000. So go, join the Imperial Forces here:
http://www.rivalspecies.com/files.phpApart from releasing the latest version if Rival Species, we would also like to draw your attention to our new project: Exterminatus - Rival Species 2. Just like the current project, this mod will be set in Games Workshops great Warhammer 40,000 universe. So Humanity is ruled by a vast, uncaring, priesthood bureaucracy on Earth in the name of the all powerful Emperor. A galaxy of insidious alien races and deviantly chaotic human forces have threatened and fought the Imperium since its earliest days. But that is where the similarities cease. Exterminatus is in development for the Source Engine and the first thing different is, that you have a say on which part of the vast Warhammer 40,000 universe we will bring to live!
