Two big updates today for Ara!

The first one is the latest patch, v1.4. It comes with a wide range of improvements, such as better maps, better close-up views, AI improvements and a lot more things. You can check the whole list in this thread.

The second update is that the DLC “Untold Scenarios” is now available.
This DLC comes with 8 scenarions, historic and hypothetical.
Some of these contain scenario specific units and techs, making them a bit more like mods than scenarios.
On the historical side you can fight off the Mongol Invasion, or expand the Americas to the west. On the fictional side you have an island scenario or a scenario where Rome fights against China.
This DLC costs 9.99 and is available here. You can discuss this DLC with us here.

So if you feel like posting a bit about Alpha Centauri, then head over there, AlphaCentauri2.info, and leave your thoughts in a thread.
