Rusted Warfare Major Update 1.14

A new update to Rusted Warfare is out!

New Unit: Modular Spider

-A walking mobile base -Starts with no weapons but has 6 slots where turrets, or modules can be built and upgraded. -Is a Starting unit only, picked from the Game Options (cannot be built normally unless using mods) -Possible add-on modules: ---Shield Gen, Anti-Nuke, Fabricator T1 & T2, Laser Defense, Lightning, Flak, Artillery, Sam T1 & T2, Gun T1 & T2, Plasma T1 & T2 -Very heavily armored but slow -Base speed is reduced if any weapons are attached -Can build units and buildings -Auto repairs nearby units -Can move over water -Built-in Fabricator -Goes nuclear on death (if nukes are enabled)

New Turrets and buildings

-Lightning Turret T1 & T2 - Upgraded from basic land turret -Artillery Turret T2 - Upgraded from artillery turret -Watch tower - Sees through fog in a large range, built from T2 builders

Extractor T3 upgrades

New optional upgrades, only one can be picked at a time: -Overclock: Much less health. Generates credits faster. Can be reverted back to T3 for a 50% refund. -Reinforce: More health. [Adds shield. Self-repair. But generates same credits. Can be reverted back to T3 for a 50% refund.

New Unit: AA Beam Gunship

-Anti-air particle-beam weapon -Beam weak vs shields -Can not attack land -Slow speed unless using afterburner action -Balance wise this unit is meant to counter Amphibious Jets but be countered it's self by Heavy Interceptors (creating a triangle)

New Unit: Heavy Anti-Air Mech

-Strong and long range air attack -Area affect anti-air -Weak land attack

New servers

-Relay servers for easier hosting of games (useful when mixing in Android/iOS clients that cannot use steam invite) ---To setup a relayed game use 'direct join' to one of: us1.relay, us2.relay, asia1.relay ---Other players will be able to join your game by entering the shown Room Code into direct join. ---Games aren't public yet, so share your room id with friends or on the discord server. -Modular Spider FFA battle royale servers (with up to 100 players!) ---Closing borders to force battles between players ---Crates randomly drop around the map that can be reclaimed ---(This was setup before AoE also did this lol)

Releasing on iOS very soon

-Store page here: https://apps.apple.com/au/app/rusted-warfare-rts/id1514329124 -Cross-platform multiplayer between Windows, Linux, Mac, Android, and iOS -Any support on release would be great. (Pre-orders would be helpful too but I know people don't like to do that.)

Other major changes.
