Combined Arms 1.02 is now publicly available!
Subject description: Where do you go for black-friday discounts? In the nearest Oil Refinery tech structure, of course!
Hello, ladies and gentlemen! Inqubi, the leader of Combined Arms, has published Combined Arms 1.02 moments ago. For those who are not acquainted with it, Combined Arms is a mod for OpenRA that emulates the old Command & Conquer games gameplay and brings five factions to the battlefield: Allies, Soviets, GDI, Nod, and Scrin. It features new units and support powers for these factions. It also features new graphics and sound effects. Here are the updates from Combined Arms 1.02:
