From March 30th till April 1st we will be showcasing some of our most popular titles at WASD exhibition in London. Attendees will have the chance to play some of our greatest games, including Warhammer 40,000: Battlesector, ICBM, Starship Troopers: Terran Command, and Panzer Corps 2.

If you don't own these games yet, they will be joining WASD Sale on Steam.

Whether you're a fan of turn-based strategy, sci-fi warfare, or historical battles, our lineup has something for you. We're excited to give gamers a chance to experience our games and get a taste of what makes Slitherine titles so unique and engaging.

Our colleagues Giulia, Sara, Paolo and Edmond, will be there in person to provide guidance and answer any questions you may have. So don't miss this opportunity to join us at WASD: We can't wait to see you there!

You can access the exhibition from 10 am until 6 pm: buy tickets https://www.wasdlive.com/tickets.

We are glad to announce that two new DLCs are available from today for both Warhammer 40,000: Battlesector and Warhammer 40,000: Gladius, each introducing a new playable faction: the Adepta Sororitas, also known as the Sisters of Battle.

Warhammer 40,000: Battlesector - Sisters of Battle



A long-standing order with a rich history, the Adepta Sororitas have always lived in service of the Emperor. Their unrelenting faith and rigorous training provides them with a mental fortitude rare among those that serve the Imperium. This divine protection, perhaps from the very spirit of the Emperor himself, makes every sister an incorruptible fortress that turns aside the profane, the blasphemous, the heretic. 15 units of the Order stand ready to turn back the unworthy on Baal.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2011980/Warhammer_40000_Battlesector__Sisters_of_Battle/

The release of the Sisters of Battle DLC will also include a new single-player mode: Daemonic Incursion.

Daemonic Incursion
Daemonic Incursion is an entirely new single-player mode that will be available to all Battlesector players as part of a free update that we’ll be launching alongside the Sisters of Battle Faction Pack.
In Daemonic Incursion, waves of Khornate daemons enter realspace to spill blood, collect skulls and overrun your forces. This is a last-stand mode, in which your objective is simple:
Survive!



Warhammer 40,000: Battlesector - Sisters of Battle Tournament

We are really excited to announce our first competitive tournament of Warhammer 40,000: Battlesector. The sign-ups for the tournament opens today, so do not miss the chance to sign-up and join the fun.

Players will be able to take part in it and get the chance to win some amazing physical goodies with a Sisters of Battle theme. Stay tuned for the official reveal of the amazing prizes you can win.

The Sisters of Battle tournament will begin in February 2023, but you can sign-up now.

Warhammer 40,000: Gladius - Adepta Sororitas DLC



Just like Battlesector, Warhammer 40,000: Gladius expands with the Sisters of Battle as a new playable faction.

A new faction joins the war for Gladius Prime: the Adepta Sororitas, with eighteen new units, new heroes, unique gameplay mechanics, city buildings, a new questline and a new tech tree.

The Adepta Sororitas, also known as the Sisters of Battle, are the militant arm of the Adeptus Ministorum. Pure of heart and fanatical of devotion, they place the worship of the Emperor above all other concerns. They maintain holy places anywhere where His subjects might be served, tending to the needs of the poor and the sick as well as spreading the word of His glory to all that might listen. But not all are worthy, and for those that aren’t - only merciful death can be granted.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2130960/Warhammer_40000_Gladius__Adepta_Sororitas/

The new Sisters of Battle DLCs for both Warhammer 40,000 Gladius and Warhammer 40,000 Battlesector will be released on December 13th, the same day of Slitherine Live show, Slitherine Next.

As part of our Slitherine Next event, we are going to release a new DLC for Warhammer 40,000: Battlesector and one for Warhammer 40,000: Gladius. Both are going to add in a new playable faction: the Sisters of Battle, the first women-only faction in Warhammer 40,000, will join the game with fifteen new units and special gameplay mechanics.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2006870/Warhammer_40000_Gladius__Escalation_Pack

We're adding a few new traits to increase the uniqueness of some units along with a very large balance update. Game performance and GUI scaling have also been improved.

This update is bigger than usual, it contains considerable changes to the game balance. These changes have been made possibile thanks to the involvement of our community, and that's why this update is called Community Update.

You can find the full changes down below.
We want to thank our community for their feedbacks, ideas and suggestions that led to the realization of this update.

Last but not least, stay tuned: Gladius has been out for years, but it doesn't mean we're done with it yet. The team is hard at work on new content. We think you will like it...

## New
Added Malicious Volleys to Chaos Space Marines: If the unit remains stationary, they fire Rapid Fire weapons with increased attacks at all ranges. To a Heretic Astartes the boltgun is far more than a weapon, it is an instrument of his anger and the bringer of death to his foes.*
Added Bolter Discipline to Tactical Space Marines: If the unit remains stationary, they fire Rapid Fire weapons with increased attacks at all ranges. To a Space Marine, the boltgun is more than a weapon—it is an instrument of Mankind’s divinity, the bringer of death to his foes.*
Added Stronghold Shielding research option at tier 5 that grants Fortress of Redemption 50% invulnerable damage reduction. Fortresses of Redemption are an essential part of Space Marines' economy, but do not get any harder to destroy as the game progresses, unlike cities. This addition is aimed at rectifying that. Gladius Prime is already proving far more hostile than the Adeptus Administratum's worst forecasts. With the Fortress' physical defenses under almost constant assault, the Techmarines approve installation of a void shield. Once constructed, this shimmering dome of power is sufficient to warp away the firepower of entire battalions (or even a rogue Imperial Knight) before collapsing.*
* Astra Militarum city headquarters can now cycle from Krak Missile Launchers to Frag Missile Launchers.
* The GUI can now be scaled from 50% to 300%, in steps of 25%, or even custom values through the Gladius.xml configuration file or by modding SettingsHUD.xml.

## General
* Improved performance on Windows by up to 45%.
* Improved unicode support.
* Improved text box rendering.
* Name text input is now limited to 50 characters.
* Chat messages are now limited to 500 characters.
* Added option to choose graphics device under video settings.
* Increased Malanthrope visual size by 20%.
* Updated translations.

## Balance (General)
* Clear tile abilities can now be used to remove enemy cluster mines. This is the first thing removed. Previously, it was impossible to remove enemy cluster mines except walking on them.
Tweaked Graviton trait so that damage buffs and debuffs uniformly scale the final damage independent of target armor. The formula is now: `damage 0.4 + targetArmor / 10`.
* Fortifications can no longer be constructed on enemy city tiles.
* Gargantuan units and Super-Heavy Walkers units can now overwatch again. This was taken from tabletop rules, but was confusing and not justified very well (why can other Super-Heavy Vehicles overwatch?).

## Balance (Adeptus Mechanicus)
* Reduced Cybernetica Datasmith cost by 33%. Adeptus Mechanicus expansion was a bit slow to be competitive.
* Cybernetica Datasmith Reprogram Kastelan Robot now costs 20 influence. It continues to be free for neutral Cybernetica Datasmiths.
* Archaeopter Transvector now has energy instead of ore upkeep.
* Moved Kataphron Destroyer research from tier 8 to 7.
* Moved Skorpius Disintegrator research from tier 7 to 8.
* Increased Onager Dunecrawler cost by 33%.
* Increased Scorpius Disintegrator cost by 50%.
* Reduced Tech-Priest Manipulus hitpoints from 9 to 6.
* Reduced Tech-Priest Manipulus Galvanic Field armour penetration from 2…6 to 1…3 and increased duration from 1 to 2 turns.
* Reduced Tech-Priest Dominus, Tech-Priest Manipulus and Cybernetica Datasmith armour from 10 to 8.
* Reduced Tech-Priest Dominus Volkite Blaster damage from 6 to 4.
* Monolithic Buildings now consider themselves as a building of the same type, thus gaining a +5% bonus. Previously, any building built on the initial tile incurred a -5% on both existing buildings, now both buildings get +0%.
* Reduced Power Surge cooldown from 10 to 6.
* Reduced Power Surge duration from 10 to 6.
* Reduced Power Surge cost from 40 to 20.
* Increased Power Surge resource effect from +10% to +25%.
* Thermo-Exchange Efficiency now increases Power Surge resource effect from +3.3% to +10%.
* Changed Terran Generalism from removing Monolithic Buildings malus to increasing the production output for each building in an adjacent tile.
* Added Move Through Cover to Pteraxii Sterylizors.

## Balance (Astra Militarum)
* Reduced Tech-Priest Enginseer cost by 33%. Astra Militarum expansion was a bit slow to be competitive.
* Increased Tech-Priest Enginseer Power of the Machine Spirit cooldown from 1 to 2.
* Increased Tech-Priest Enginseer Construct Imperial Bastion cooldown from 5 to 10.
* Increased Tech-Priest Enginseer Construct Void Shield cooldown from 5 to 10.
* Reduced edict cost by 25%.
* Changed Labour Corps resources from +2 food to +2 research.
* Changed Imperial Barracks resources from +1 loyalty to +2 food.

# Balance (Chaos Space Marines)
* Reduced Dark Disciples Deferred Absolution invulnerable damage reduction from 33% to 17%. Dark Disciples made Noctilith Crowns irrelevant.
* Reduced Dark Disciples cost by 25% To compensate for the lower damage reduction.
* Changed Master of Possesion’s Possession from 1…9 Chaos Spawn level to 5…1 cooldown. The rush-ability was a little too high on this one.
* Reduced Bloated from 100% to 50% heal. This makes it less oppressive when rushing.
* Moved Daemon Prince research from tier 9 to 5.
* Reduced Helbrute’s Fire Frenzy speed reduction from 0 to 1.

## Balance (Craftworld Aeldari)
* Reduced Webway Redoubt cost by 25%. Craftworld Aeldari expansion was a bit slow to be competitive.
* Reduced Webway Gate hitpoints from 32 to 16. The AI will now try to not take over gates it can’t defend. This should make countering webway teleportation easier.
* Increased Transcendent Bliss loyalty from 2 to 3.
* Increased Doom of the Aeldari loyalty from 2 to 3.
* Increased Rangers cost by 33%.
* Increased Howling Banshees War Shout morale from -2 to -3.
* Reduced Warlocks Cleansing Flame attacks from 7 to 5.
* Warlocks’ Gate of Infinity now costs 10 influence.
* Moved Craftworlds’ Pledge research from tier 9 to 8.
* Changed Shining Spears cost and upkeep to ore only.
* Changed Vaul’s Wrath Support Battery cost and upkeep to ore only.

# Balance (Necrons)
* Monolith’s Gauss Flux Arc now has rapid fire. This is an addition from 9th edition tabletop rules.
* Increased Obelisk Gravity Pulse radius from 1 to 3.
* Changed Quantum Shielding from +2 armour to 17% invulnerable damage reduction. To make the performance similar against low and high armour penetration weapons.
* Increased Cryptek Mindshackle Scarabs range from 2 to 3.
* Reduced Gauss Pylon Phase Shift Generator invulnerable damage reduction from 33% to 17%.
* Increased Efficient Reanimation Protocols hitpoints per turn from 0.67 to 2.
* Increased Immortal Forms hitpoints per turn from 0.67 to 2.
* Changed Lord’s Defensive Protocols from +2…+6 armour on Necron infantry to +2 armour, 1..3 radius on all Necron units.
* Moved Efficient Reanimation Protocols research from tier 3 to 6.
* Moved Immortal Forms research from tier 5 to 3.
* Moved Viridian Discharge research from tier 9 to 4. To make early Tesla units more viable.
* Moved Atomic Flayers research from tier 4 to 5.

# Balance (Orks)
* Reduced Mek cost by 25%. Orks expansion was a bit slow to be competitive.
* Changed Waaagh! from +3…+30% attacks to +2…+20% attacks and +2…+20% loyalty.
* Changed Animosity from -3…-30% attacks to -2…-20% attacks and -2…-20% loyalty.
* Changed Pile O’ Dakka resources from +4 influence to +1 food, +1 influence, +1 loyalty.
* Changed Kult ov Speed resources from +2 influence, +2 research to +1 ore, +1 influence, +1 loyalty.
* Moved Runtherd Groundz research from tier 10 to 9.

* Added Devastator Centurion to the Devastator Doctrine requirements so it can be researched without Devastator Space Marines.
* Scout Bikers’ Cluster Mines ability no longer consumes movement.

# Balance (T’au)
* Markerlight no longer works on fortifications.
* Reduced Vespid Stingwings cost by 33%.
* Increased Convert Auxiliary cost by 50%. Converting Kroot Hounds was too cheap.
* Increased XV25 Stealth Battlesuits accuracy from 6 to 8.

# Balance (Tyranids)

* Changed Brood Nest resources from +4 biomass to +2 biomass, +1 loyalty.
