Greetings Commander,

The latest update has been released: Release v1.1.0d - Achievements In today's patch we’ve introduced 38 new Steam Achievements, organized into six categories: Exalted Feats, Covenants, Voidcraft, Dominion, Stratagems, Massacre, and Hosts of War. These challenges are designed to push you to approach Void War in fresh ways, adding new layers of depth and replayability to the experience you already know.

Some but not all Achievements will be retroactive, meaning the game can check your Archives data and automatically complete Achievements whose data can be verified in your past runs. Unfortunately most Achievements rely on data that was never stored in past versions of the game, so those will have to be completed in v1.1.0d or later.

We’ve also rolled out the usual round of UI improvements, bug fixes, and balance adjustments inspired by player feedback. The new Dismiss Crew button makes it simple to clear unwanted crew from your ship, particularly handy when chasing the Covenant achievements. The commander and ship selection menus now provide detailed tracking of victories by commander and Torment level. Poison mechanics have also been refined: higher stacks now deal damage more rapidly, so piling on massive poison will drain enemy life far faster than before. Several underpowered units have been strengthened: Imperial Marshals now deal double damage in burning rooms, while Blood Golems have gained the ability to raise Thralls.

Greetings Commander,

The latest update has been released: Release v1.0.5 - DoomweaverThis patch introduces the brand new 13th commander to Void War. We originally planned to commit to 12 commanders, but we ended up having so many ideas that more than 12 was pretty much inevitable. 

The first of these new commanders is the Doomweaver. She is a powerful battle-psyker with a once-per-fight spell that has two different effects depending on how you cast it:
Threads of Ruin - If manning Command Throne, instantly kill the highest HP crew in target room. Otherwise teleport to target room and deal 15 HP damage to hostile crew.

Today’s update also brings us a preview beta version of the next update, Release v1.1.0, which will include the 38 new Steam Achievements that some of you may have already seen in the Steam interface. We could use some help testing these achievements, so if you want to participate be sure to check out the beta discussion channel on Discord:

https://discord.com/channels/1205970613173354638/1387542180335190186

Void War beta builds are open to all players and can be accessed at any time in Steam.

1. In Steam, right-click Void War > Properties > Betas
2. Next to Beta Participation > select “beta - public testing for steam players”

Note that beta builds will be more prone to bugs than release builds. If you have any issues please post a bug report on the Discord and we’ll get you sorted out.
