Enemies approaching!
Starting on Friday, the first PVE (Player vs Environment) elements of Win That War! will appear in the game: these drones seem determined not to let you take possession of the much coveted resources. Keeping a close eye on your opponent won’t be enough anymore, you’ll also have to clear the territory of these metallic vermins if you are planning on settling your base there.
Not enough? The drones won’t come alone! Along with them, a brand new biome will soon appear on our exoplanets this Friday. Remains of an ancient alien civilization, you’ll be able to confront the enemy on this artificial (and a bit rusty) biome. As long as you’re enjoying trudging through the ruins!

Unlock new units
We received quite a bit of feedback about that, some of you seem to struggle to find out how to improve the starting arsenal through the formation of Spawn Squads.
While we make that more clear in the game, we thought that a little tutorial could be useful.
When you sell a base, from the online campaign, you earn galactic credits. Those credits allow you to unlock new squads and new units from your profile page.
To unlock a squad:
To unlock new units (by clicking on the Command Unit icon):
To add units to your starting squad:
Get your planes, heavy units and a bunch of turrets!
