Sanctus Reach has been updated to version 1.1.1!

[LiarFox]

Sanctus reach has been updated to version 1.1.1! This new version brings dozens of changes and improvements and some cool new features!

Now is available the "The Random Army" list for skirmish (this works well with large 5,000+ plus battles when it gives a wider selection of units to choose from), and the morale system has been revised: units will now re-gain morale quicker from allied units close to them at the start of a turn but will
lose more morale when allied units die close to them.

Last, but not least, the Slitherine Tournament System has been implemented and now it’s fully functional!

Check the entire changelog below.

Why isn't it possible to completely build your army the way you want in skirmish?
For example playing with 10 KillaKans against 5 Dreadnoughs? I don't see why this should not be possible? It would be fun and very easy to implement, no?

Unfortunately I thought "Now is available the "The Random Army" list for skirmish" meant exactely that, turns out it's again just NOT that -_- why oh why?
Cheers

Hello JG4
We know the "build your own army" is a much requested feature but unfortunately (and I know it sounds odd) implementing that option is quire challenging. The 'Random Army' with high points is a step towards it but is not the complete solution I agree

At this point all I can say is its still very much on our 'to do' list

[JG4_Sputnik]

Glad to hear that I'm not alone with this. Yeah I know, a lot of times things look easy from the outside but are a b*** to implement. Great to hear that you guys are on it.
Thanks for the repyl and keep up the good work,
Cheers

The game got alot better after the new update. It was good before, but now its megafun. I really enjoy every minute of playing it. If you allow me, I also would wish for the follwing in a future DLC

-like others already said skirmish. I would love a skirmish mode like it is in Warhammer new 8th edition with random setup a variety of changing tactical goals, event, condition and fate cards (do you know the "open war" cardset in 8th edition - these are cool and provide for a massive replay-value)

-damage values and damage forecasts which are not that extreme variable but more pre-calculable.

-mega scenarios with ten-thousands of points and giant maps. Like the apocalypse games in 40k.

-more rules for buildings (levels?) and bunkers.

-marines have orbital assets too. (orbital bombardement etc.)

-flyers like thunderbolts or bommaz

-Titans :)

-a small wish would be to have an easy key where i can see the range of a weapon. I could not detect one in the game now.

thanks for these excellent game. I hope it sells well, so that we can enjoy more DLCs in the future.

select an unit and press 1 to get an overlay. if you hold shift and move the mouse cursor to a tile you could move to with that unit, you can move the overlay to that tile, as if the unit has moved there.
