A plague upon our galaxy!

The Horwasp Plague

The Horwasp Plague have arrived! An all new playable race in the Echo Cluster. 

Detailed documentation about this race can be found here: http://planets.nu/#/howtoplay/horwasp

The Race page can be found here: http://planets.nu/#/race/12/hulls

Testing Phase

Important Note: This is a brand new race. At this point we are releasing the race in Alpha Test mode. This means that there is a significant possibility that bugs will be encountered and race imbalances may exist. We will be working over the coming weeks to fix any bugs that may occur. Over time there will be adjustments to this race where imbalances are found.  

Getting Started

To start playing a game with or against the new race join one of the Horwasp Alpha Test Melee games that are being created!

The first one can be found here: http://planets.nu/#/sector/185643

Second one can be found here: http://planets.nu/#/sector/185805

If you just want to experiment you can create a private game with the Horwasp against a computer opponent.  

A note from the designer

When creating The Horwasp Plague as an insect/monster race I wanted to make the experience of playing them as unique and separate as possible from the traditional races. By creating a new organic economic structure and an all new (for VGAP3) pod creation concept I hoped to create a truly “alien” playing experience while still integrating well with the current model. I hope that you enjoy learning a completely new set of strategies both as the Horwasp and against them. 

Sincerely, 

Joshua

PS. I’d like to give a special thank you to my father - Forger - who came up with the name “Horwasp”.
