Lambda Wars Patch 4th March 2021 (1.1)

Its been just over two weeks since we released Lambda Wars, and wow, what a response! The playerbase saw a huge increase in size. We've seen a very large amount of articles in the games media. Thank you for all the kind messages and for playing the game!

The release patch saw a large amount of new combine units which had shifted the balance into the Combine's favor. In 1.1 we're addressing this issue and we're introducing the latest unit: Rebel with Tau Cannon.
