Lord of Rigel News

[p]Greetings Lords of Rigel! The 1.10 update for July introduces Ironman mode. Enabled in advanced settings, Ironman mode games autosave each turn but quicksave and regular saves are disabled. Completing a game in Ironman mode unlocks the Ironman achievement. For those wanting the ultimate challenge, 1999 Mode is the achievement for completing an Ironman game on the Impossible difficulty.[/p][p][/p][p]Most players will also notice the updated voice performances. Each cutscene has been re-recorded and timing adjusted. The post-processing effects for the Rigelans and Arcturans have been reduced and deliveries adjusted to sound more natural.[/p][p][/p][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][p]Updated Cinematic Trailer with new voice performances.[/p][p][/p][p]Image 1.
