Slitherine and Black Lab Games are proud to announce the release of the Daemonic Update for Warhammer 40,000: Battlesector, the turn-based squad tactical game set in the grim darkness of the far future. 

This new update is available today for free, both on PC and console. It is a massive update containing a number of new additions, both in terms of content and new features, so let’s jump into it.


What is new in the Daemonic Update

- Added a new minor faction to Planetary Supremacy: Daemons of Khorne. Chaos starts its incursion into Battlesector with a combat force of Khornate Daemons, including the Bloodmaster, Bloodletters, Flesh Hounds, and the mighty Skull Cannon!

- New objective type: 'Siege' is an asynchronous objective available in skirmish, multiplayer and base attack battles for Planetary Supremacy. The attacker must capture 4 strategic capture points, whilst the defender works to eliminate the attacker's army

- 3 new maps: 'Fortress of Redemption' is a Blood Angels-themed map, 'Feeding Grounds' is a Tyranid-themed map, and 'Blackstone' is a Necron-themed map. These maps are used for base attack battles in Planetary Supremacy, and in skirmish and multiplayer.

- Changed the starting positioning for Minor faction units in Planetary Supremacy battles. Instead of starting at the other end of the map, enemy units will now be distributed around the map, similar to the Age of Crimson Dawn campaign.

- Planetary Supremacy Accelerated Reinforcements. You can now spend additional Requisition Tokens to get a unit on cooldown earlier.


This is just a glimpse of what is available with the Daemonic Update. Want to see what else is new? Full changelog here!

In the meantime, development continues. We’ll be back soon with news about what’s coming next, and with more information about the Sisters of Battle. Stay tuned

Hello Terraformers!

- One new meteo event
- Some minor changes in the world
- Fix loading / saving errors when using different devices to play (Thanks to akarnokd on Discord)
- Honey is produced less frequently
- Some minors other tweaks

As usual, restart Steam to get the update.

We know you’ve been waiting for this feature for quite some time already; that’s why we are excited to share with you the new inventory sorting we are working on apart from other essential changes.



In Devlog 16 we revealed the new system of elements, but it will not be possible to use its alchemical potential to the fullest without convenient sorting. Now the ingredients can be sorted by any of the 8 elements (and it works!)



Alchemy is not rocket science, but who dares say it’s not a science after all? One should know the theory in order to brew potions effectively. Each ingredient has an elemental potential for short and long distances. Short distance potential is where the ingredient might move the bottle indicator on the map with a single throw in the cauldron. It might be used, for example, to come closer to the effect accurately. E.g. this ingredient can move the indicator to the left, to the right and to the bottom on a short distance:



Long distance potential is used when you need to make a long way in one direction. The ingredient from the previous example cannot move the indicator to the left on a long distance – only to the bottom or bottom-right.





In sum, the short distance potential is used for delicate tuning within one throw of an ingredient into the cauldron, while the long distance potential is used for laying long paths. And of course, in the new sorting you can switch between these potentials!



By the way, sorting by elements also works for potions.



Moreover, we have added another sorting option by ingredient type – so salts, crystals and other ingredients might be accurately combined in groups.



We hope that the new sorting will make the process of creating potions more intuitive and clear! Stay tuned and follow our Steam Page. Also, make sure to join our Discord so you don't miss other upcoming devlogs!

Hello everyone,

Today, we’re happy to release alpha update 183 for War of Rights. It features additional customizable regiments, flag bearer updates, a spawn system rework as well as several quality of life additions and more!

• Added 8 new customizable regiments to the game: 1st Maryland, 4th Rhode Island, 1st Delaware, 4th Pennsylvania, 3rd Arkansas, 8th Florida, 14th Tennessee and Holcombe Legion.
  
• Added more items to the uniform customizer.
  
• In an effort to reduce the amount of time large amounts of players sometimes end up fighting exclusively inside buildings, Flag bearers are now unable to spawn players while inside buildings throughout the game. They are also not able to stay inside them for longer than 30 seconds before deserting.
  
• Flag bearers can now see how many, if any, players are queued up to spawn at their position by looking at the player state info at the lower right corner of the screen.
  
• Remade the deployment & spawn system in an effort to eliminate any edge case spawn issues.
  
• When playing the Skirmish game mode, players now spawn in separate companies (Co. A or B) instead of spawning all mixed up.
  
• Server admins are now able to invert the team spawns when playing the Conquest game mode. Alternatively, they can opt with a “Random” selection should they wish to make fate decide.
  
• When playing the Skirmish game mode and selecting the “Round Restart” server setting it now skips the post-match narration in order to better facilitate event play.
  
• Changing the battlefield of a server now results in a loading screen being shown quicker, reducing the chance of players believing that the server is lagging or has crashed.
  
• Fixed the Smokestacks Conquest mode area desertion issue upon spawning in.
  
• Various binocular and revolver animation tweaks and fixes.
  
• Adjusted sword salute and parade rest emotes.
  
• Added revolver salute and exit and enter animations.
  
• Fixed the left hand moving upwards for half a second when stopping moving with the revolver.
  
• Fixed the order arms emote.
  
• Fixed misaligned and broken subtitles on Harpers Ferry Bolivar Heights Camp skirmish area.
  
• Fixed frock coat branch collar clipping.
  
• Reworked camp stool model.
  
• Fixed the aim animation so that the rifle stays in the hands of the soldier while he is turning.
  
• Adjusted the sword melee aimpose animations.
  
• Tweaked the sword shoulder arms idle and aimpose animations.
  
• Fixed a number of fences that could not be vaulted across on South Mountain.
  
• Corrected the left arm during the revolver cocking hammer animation playback while moving.
  
• Adjusted the revolver crouch exit and enter animation.
  
• Enabled server multi threaded pre-processing for received packets from clients.

Adding sound effects throughout the game

Corrected life drain nerf as it had invalid values
Mouse click now counts as "any key" for menu "continue"
Fixed a bug where upgrade window would error causing the game to pause permanently
