As previously, @bite, @Browd, @Gedemon or another mod will need to lock this until then.

Thread is now open.

 

[Laurana Kanan]

Updated OP with stream links.

 

[Kwami]

Just Anton and Pete today.

 

[DWilson]

I'm looking forward to seeing them play as the Aliens.

Do we know yet if the old abilities are replaced vs updated and added to? New Red Death abilities are in addition to old abilities, not in replacement of.

Pete got killed by a barb. Lol.

 

[Kwami]

Well, the Aliens didn't last long...

How did you like that? : P

 

[Gedemon]

well, that was short, but fun !

 

[wesplaysciv]

That was hilarious, pretty good representation of this update

 

[SupremacyKing2]

Pete got killed by a barb. Lol.

And on turn 2. That was hilarious and so embarrassing.

 

[Morningcalm]

They need to prevent barbs killing them on turn 1. A quick fix please.

I hope they go over the changes in detail after the runthrough of Red Death 2.

Why? If you want to risk moving your settler before any other unit, and unprotected at that, then you choose to be able to get beaten the first round.

That seems silly and anticlimactic is why. Also unfair--every player is vulnerable on turn 1 and newbies to the scenario loading into it the first time shouldn't have an immediate Game Over like that.

But, that's the game... You can't just say "There is an enemy there but I'm invulnerable". Pete didn't see the ranger, but I did. Makes you learn, doesn't it? It will at most be a mistake you make once.

But hey, that's just my opinion : ) I understand your motivation.

 

[DWilson]

Pete is really struggling

 

[Vandlys]

I'm still allergic to Pete's "As well too". They mean the same thing! Stop saying that! : D


Haha Pete just typed in the chat "Leave me alone................ pls" Love it.


Wait, why did Pete type "Nope nope nope" but when he pressed send only "nope nope" appeared?

 

[DWilson]

They're reviewing Gran Colombia, but weren't ready for this patch.

 

[Laurana Kanan]

No UI changes, no AI changes, no new functionalities. So very disappointing.

Well for what it's worth they did state these will be addressed in FUTURE game updates.

 

[DWilson]

Pete eeked out a not last place.

I feel like these abilities could also be leveraged well for mods. Invisibility could work well for a guerilla style ability, while the mutants death zone could be a total war, salt the fields strategy. Or great war style chemical weapons.

He got quite lucky at the end, was nice to see.

They just said Secret Societies is a more fantastical game mode, right? Did I hear that right? They mentioned it in the same breath with Apocalypse mode and Red Death.
