G’day, Forts fans! We hope you’ve had a good 2019 so far. We’d like to point you to our new EarthWork Games developer page, the central location for all things EWG, be they news, content or social media links. Head over here and give the page a ‘follow’ to ensure you don’t miss out on any new updates.


Forts is lucky to have so many diligent modders, and we love seeing what they come up with. There’s so much creativity out there that we’d like to highlight a couple of notable ones.

Birdie’s Mod
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1630215768&searchtext=
This epic mod, created by SamsterBirdies contains a whole host of extra weapons, devices and... helicopters. Fantastic work, Samster!


BFC v2
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1606499289&searchtext=
A collaboration between Trollodel and CreeLoPer27, this mod brings an upgrade of the Big Flippin’ Gun, with the penetrative power to go through 10/15 layers of armour. That’s a lot of flippin’ armour!


Tanya’s-Mod
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1492181905&searchtext=
Just in case you’ve been living under a rock, we’d like to draw your attention to this most ubiquitous of mods. Created by General Tanya-Chan, it adds a ton of new weapons, as well as alternate suped-up versions of the commanders. Amazing, and it keeps getting better!

Thanks for playing Forts!

Cheers,
EWG
