Stay tuned for more news as we continue to work and develop the game.

See you on the Red Planet, terraformers!

Some think the Earth is flat, others think it is round. Now we are colonizing Mars and I can tell you, Mars is a triangle. What proof do I have? Well, why would we need 3 maps for it if it wasn't triangular?

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1785010/Terraforming_Mars__Hellas__Elysium/


Both of which offer a very different set of challenges with their unique tile disposition and placement bonuses. With many varying strategies around the new layouts, you can be certain that no two games will ever feel quite the same!


Each map comes with its own set of new awards and miletones for extra-replayability.

You can win on Hellas thanks to unconventional milestones such as the Diversifier, which requires 8 different tags, or the Polar Explorer, which rewards you for having 3 tiles on the bottom rows, making this area a key location on the board.

As for Elysium, it will reward your green aspirations with the "Ecologist" milestone if you obtain 4 bio tags. You will let you be known as "The Legend", no less, for playing 5 events cards.

Regardless of your playstyle and your Terraforming goals, there will be more than a dozen new and exciting milestones and awards for you to discover!

So which map should you try first? This is a question only you can answer.

In addition, some long-awaited achievements have been added to the base game in a free update. We will let you discover the changes in your next play session!


See you on the red planet, terraformers!

The Hellas & Elysium DLC features two additional maps for you to venture in unexplored land and claim it as your own! Each map has their own properties, encouraging the colonists to consider vastly different approaches. With a new array of options to win, the DLC is certain to add even more variety to your games.

Before you go any further please make sure to go through your space suit check list. And if you take a ride out in the rovers, please ensure your seat belt is securely fastened. Ready?

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1785010/Terraforming_Mars__Hellas__Elysium/

Hellas, The Southern wild
• The first site, Hellas, brings you to the Southern Hemisphere and the South Pole, certainly the coldest location on Mars. The plant bonuses are located to the North, along the equator. The sea of Hellas is right below. You can also play around the two new placement bonuses on the map. The first yields heat while the other grants an ocean tile in exchange for 6 Megacredits. But the biggest point of interest of the map is, of course, the South Pole itself, which you will definitely want to claim to secure your victory!
  
  
  
  
  Elysium, the other side of Mars
• And if you want to venture deeper into the unknown, step foot where no man has ever been, try Elysium, the other face of Mars, for a different kind of challenge. The site is dominated by the Olympus Mons, the largest, highest mountain and volcano in the entire Solar System. Of course, being the first player to claim this coveted area should be of great importance in your endeavour to secure victory!
  
  
  
  
  Awards and Milestones
• But that is not all. The Awards and Milestones present in Terraforming Mars also change depending on the map you're playing. From the Space Baron award and Polar Explorer milestone of Hellas to the unique Estate dealer tile objective of Elysium, you will have to be prepared for new strategic opportunities.
  
  

If you want to be the first to explore the new land, a Beta is available. You can find it on our Discord Channel, along with a growing community of fans.

Wishlist Hellas & Elysium DLC today and stay up to date with the latest Terraforming Mars news!

As usual we would like to seize the opportunity to thank all of you for your continued support and feedback over the last months, Terraformers. We hope you will enjoy the DLC and we are looking forward to seeing you thrive on Mars.

Greetings, terraformers!
