[ 2014-09-30 14:41:45 CET ] [ Original post ]
This announcement was going to be used to celebrate the fact Exodus Wars: Fractured Empire had launched on Steam, but not only is the game now available, but -- less than 24 hours since the launch -- and we've already released the first update with a fix for two serious bugs that were causing cover and the Skirmish AI to not work properly, so now we've got two things to let you know about. The full details appear below. Enjoy. :) BUILD 43.007
New Features
- Added a new "Hints & Tips" panel that will communicate helpful bits of info to players.
Changes:
- Removed concealment, for now. Cover will still work as normal.
Bug Fixes:
- Areas of cover were always concealing any formations inside the area.
- AI player did nothing on its turn on Skirmish matches.
Known Issues:
- Poor video playback and quality.
- Rotating, Panning and Zooming the camera can sometimes clip into the terrain (use SPACEBAR to reset the camera if controls stop working correctly).
- Units sometimes sink into or float above the terrain.
- Highlighting on units (glow effect) doesn't always show as intended.
- Shooting range ring sometimes stays on the terrain when you mouse over a unit.
- Clicking on a area of cover to move a formation to doesn't always set the destination point correctly.
- Clicking a 1x or 2x movement range, and then clicking within the 3x movement range will not let you set the formation's destination correctly. Clear the order and start over as a work-around.
- Sometimes, the Baron behemoth will rotate to the side to shoot at targets lower than its position on the terrain.
- Sometimes, units do not face the correct direction when firing upon a target.
- The Army List panel should show formations as grey when they cannot be activated or have been destroyed.
- Sometimes panning will not respond with mouse click and drag -- as a work-around, use your mouse pointer at the sides of your screen to pan around the map if this happens.

Exodus Wars: Fractured Empire is a 3D turn-based strategy wargame that puts you in brigade-level control of futuristic infantry and armored companies, as well as huge super-vehicles. This is warfare on a massive scale that will appeal to those who enjoy games that provide both a strategic and tactical challenge, such as the Total War PC game series or tabletop games like Warhammer 40,000. Featuring a unique, streamlined command system for fast-paced battles with Chess-style alternating activations, customizable armies, and simple--yet deep--strategic and tactical play, the game tells a story from the Exodus Wars, a bloody civil war fought between the Guild and the Royal Empire of Man.
Game Features
- An engaging and fully realised sci-fi universe set in a period of interstellar civil war -- Play your part in the Exodus Wars.
- The Royal Empire of Man against the Guild Legions -- Each faction has an extensive roster of units, from infantry and medium armour up to the Empire's Baron small behemoth and the Guild’s Elektra and Enforcer heavy tanks.
- Deep strategy via army building -- What you bring to the battle is every bit as important as the tactics you employ.
- Manoeuvre warfare -- Gameplay that rewards solid tactics.
- Easy-to-learn, difficult to master -- The intuitive user interface enhances the game's depth and balance.
- Chess-style, interleaving activation-based play that enables quick games -- Give your formations their orders and see these executed on the battlefield; no long waits like you find in typical "You Go, I Go" games.
- Cover -- Use cover to reduce your opponent's effectiveness.
- Overwatch -- Achieve superior positioning and control the battlefield.
- Campaign play -- Play a single-player campaign titled "The Ties That Bind", which can be experienced from either the Guild or Royal Empire of Man perspective for a different view of the story's events.
- High replayability -- Given the large array of units and the formation combinations possible via the Force Selector interface, not to mention the multiple tactical options available for inflicting your will upon your opponent, every battle offers new challenges and experiences.
