A new promised patch has been released.
The patch includes new map changes and a new map - hlw_uzvara by vadimhalo.
To be frank, I had to help vadimhalo with the map a ton due to him being new to mapping as a whole. Though the reason I did it is because the map idea is very unique and involves limited ability of units and abilities.
Enjoy the new map!

- Fixed map rendering when big parts of map disappear on high settings.
- Fixed the inability to make a 2v2v2v2 game.

The development is currently on a halt
Hey guys.
Thank you all very much for playing the game.
I wanted to let you guys know that I personally won't be able to work on the game till about May-June for several reasons:
- My PC is currently dead (been like this for two months already);
- I have to do my thesis;
- Work.
Sandern is also currently very busy with his other projects, and as you may understand, the mod doesn't provide us anything for a living, so it's a lower priority for us.
Still though, I expect to work on it more when I have the time and resources for that. I love the mod and I wouldn't abandon it like that.
Also we have the community that keeps making maps (someone like MrLazy who made so many maps already, and some other community members are actually beginning on taking their part in this!).
If you guys would like to chat, feel free to join our Discord channel, I try to be as active as possible there: https://discord.gg/PsQkXv7
So see you there!
UPD: Tyler, thanks a lot! <3
Lambda Wars mini-patch January 24, 2019 (3.11b, rev. 6577)
Hey!
There has been a lot going on lately in this month, such as hosting a mini-conference (not related to Lambda Wars) in a Russian high school and a tournament with a prize pool for players.
For now there's going to be a small patch, next will have an update including MrLazy's new map. For those of you who are curious, feel free to test it on the dev branch!
Changelog:
Balance:
- Changed the prices for control points on Lvl 1 and Lvl 2. Advanced/Professional players requested that the prices are changed for better competitive gameplay.
Misc:
- Added badges for tournament players who participated and those who received respective places.
I've also included loading screens from 2017 contest, but they currently don't work as Sandern hasn't had time to work on LW yet, so that will be done later.
Hungry for some competition?

Let's do our part
Once upon a time Lambda Wars used to be a dark place filled gray souls working on it. But there was the light. The light that brought future to the developers and players of Lambda Wars altogether.
But this light may soon perish if we do not defeat the evil. This evil must be taken care of.
Yes, my strategists. Yes. I am talking about the one and only Indian evil that is trying to take over YouTube. This evil is known as T-Series and the light that MUST BE ABOVE IT IS KNOWN AS PEWDIEPIE.
SUBSCRIBE NOW. WE ARE DOING OUR PART, PEWDS!
By clicking this link you prove to be with us, with the 9 year old army, with the bright future for us all: https://www.youtube.com/user/PewDiePie?sub_confirmation=1
