For this month, i have prepared some godly machines for the 3rd side, which finally has a name: the Essence. They are the "true human" side, defending the Earth against the Vintarids. The side list has been expanded from what was revealed before, and now complete, it looks as follows:
  • Essence (the defenders of Earth)
    They appeared suddenly, when all hope was lost. Their knowledge allows to hit the invaders in their weak spots. What is their origin, and what purpose do they have in collecting the mysterious crystals that started appearing around Earth?
  • Vintarids (the invaders)
    It is unclear what is the purpose of their attack, but their methods are cruel and gruesome. They razed many cities through orbital bombardment, then started abducting those that survived. They also have some unclear relation to crystals - often collecting them, sometimes destroying on sight.
  • Paladins (sided with neither, attacked by both)
    In the beginning of the war their presence wasn't really noticed by anyone. They seem to be able to make uninvited guests... leave and ignore them. And whatever the crystals are, they appear to know how to use their power.
Now, the important stuff - eyecandy. :ohmy:

This unit has player colors in green, not red. Red is part of the unit regular coloring.

Characteristic:
  • 3x spike "cannon" - good against light armored targets, deals little damage to heavy armor and buildings
  • vintarid shields - receives 25% damage from energy projectiles
  • fast and versatile, can attack ground and air targets
  • unlike other vintarid spacecrafts, new ones can be constructed on Earth

Other news
Now, that i mentioned greek gods (god of war! :p ), Doom Desire is using Ares dll for some time already, leaving NPatch behind. The old beta isn't going to be changed, but any public releases from now on will require Ares to work properly.

Doom Desire has also joined the ModDB community. The mod profile is linked below. If you like more frequent updates, remember to check it, as i will be putting updates there before making a large update post on the forum (and some, such as backstories and concept arts, will be ModDB exclusive).

And for the finale, a small ingame preview of the N'hre Combat Craft. See you next month, and May the gods be with you. :p
