Wishlist Ashes II Now

Stardock and Oxide Games today announced Ashes of the Singularity II, the highly anticipated sequel to the groundbreaking, massive-scale RTS that redefined real-time strategy gaming a decade ago. Set to release in 2026, exactly ten years after the original, the game invites players to engage in strategic battles of unprecedented scale, depth, and intensity.

In the original Ashes of the Singularity, players experienced revolutionary gameplay powered by the first-ever multi-core graphics engine capable of handling thousands of units simultaneously across maps the size of entire continents. The game's forward-thinking story envisioned a future dominated by sophisticated AI managing drone constructs to battle post-human factions for control over the solar system.

A decade later, the battle grows, with the humans of Earth having a say in their own destiny. In Ashes of the Singularity II, players command the United Earth Forces, a powerful human alliance forged between NATO, China, and Russia, determined to reclaim Earth’s territories—including Australia and Africa—as well as vital outposts on planets and moons across the solar system, all previously overtaken by relentless AI and formidable Post-Humans.

With a significantly expanded development team, Ashes of the Singularity II introduces an arsenal of advanced units and sophisticated gameplay mechanics. Players will experience greater strategic depth, intricate base-building dynamics, and intense skirmishes against intelligent computer opponents. A gripping story-driven campaign set in a chillingly familiar near-future landscape of 2031 ensures a captivating experience. Fans can also look forward to robust cooperative and competitive multiplayer modes.

“Ten years ago, we set a new, literal benchmark for RTS games with massive battles and groundbreaking technology," said Brad Wardell, CEO of Stardock Entertainment. "With Ashes of the Singularity II, we’re raising the bar even higher, delivering strategic gameplay depth that RTS fans have always dreamed of.”

While the gameplay and the production values have greatly improved since the original, the most obvious change in the sequel is the third faction: The humans.

“Obviously, in the first game, the number one request was to have a human faction,” said Wardell. “Back then, we just couldn’t support having thousands of organic, walking, squishy people in the world and thus had to design in favor of machines. We’re really excited to bring the humans into the war and watch how they fare against the massive mechanical armies of the Substrate and PHC.”

Major Balance Changes Now Available

We’re pleased to announce that a significant update is now live, introducing a series of balance changes aimed at enhancing your gameplay experience. This latest round of adjustments focuses on providing more strategic options and elevating the intensity of battles. With an emphasis on better differentiating the PHC and Substrate factions, these changes are designed to create a more engaging and dynamic environment for our dedicated players.

Clearer Distinction Between PHC and Substrate

In our ongoing effort to foster a balanced and competitive atmosphere, we’ve implemented key adjustments that give each faction a clearer identity. PHC units now feature heavier armor, boosting their durability on the battlefield, while Substrate units benefit from faster shield regeneration, allowing for greater tactical flexibility.

Improved Unit Survivability

We’ve conducted a thorough review of unit costs and survivability, ensuring that each unit feels impactful and rewarding to use. One significant change is the increased construction time for units, which enhances pacing and encourages thoughtful planning.

Map Adjustments

We’ve also made noteworthy changes to the game maps. Frosthaven has been updated with additional Radioactives, providing players with more strategic resources, while Italia has been reconfigured to increase the distance between starting points.

Specific Unit Changes

The unit adjustments are particularly exciting. PHC defensive buildings now have additional armor, making them more resilient, while the Artemis missile barrage has been retooled for more frequent strikes with a reduced cooldown. Key units like the Archer and Brute have received enhancements that improve their effectiveness and survivability in combat. The Hermies scout has also been given a boost with increased HP, and the Reaper now spawns more frequently, enhancing its presence on the battlefield. Perhaps the most significant change comes with Substrate units. While they no longer have armor, they now feature much faster shield regeneration and higher max shields, allowing for greater resilience in battle. This shift encourages players to rethink their strategies and how they engage with these units.

We Value Your Feedback

We’re eager for you to explore these changes and experience the new dynamics they bring to the game. Your feedback is crucial to us, and we look forward to hearing how these adjustments impact your gameplay. Together, let’s continue to improve and evolve our game!

New Core Worlds DLC is Now Available

https://youtu.be/RUhUYyWSLlg Stardock released the Core Worlds DLC for Ashes of the Singularity: Escalation today. The DLC adds new asymmetrical maps based on real-world geographic locations and distributes resources to offset the geographical disadvantages on each battlefield. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1715480/Ashes_of_the_Singularity_Escalation__Core_Worlds_DLC/ Each map is of varying size and have metal and radioactive resources distributed in a way that offsets some of the disadvantages provided by the terrain. The asymmetrical design is meant to challenge the player to manage their units so that they are not bottlenecked or steamrolled by their enemies. Players should study the geography and strategize to use it to their advantage. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/25992960/fcb546ea98a74758ead93266100149e209c44a61.jpg {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/25992960/dc52b128fb8c09e3073d7ff82d59ce7bc19e33ad.jpg “We wanted players to feel like they were fighting in a real-world location,” said Brad Wardell, CEO of Stardock. “Since the geography was taken from places that do, in fact, exist, we accomplished exactly that.”

Core Worlds New Maps

Dubola: This medium map for up to 6 players offers few places to hide and tight maneuverability for your armies. There are plenty of metal and radioactive deposits for you to claim, but you'll have to defend them carefully to prevent your enemies from overtaking them.
Gibraltar: There's hardly any room to breathe on this small 2 player map that promises almost immediate action as you fight your opponent for what precious resources are available. The temptation of a single Turinium reactor between you both is almost too much to resist - be careful not to waste too many resources trying to guard it! You might just leave your Nexus defenseless.
Nantes: Up to 6 players will contend with one another for control on this medium-sized map. Each base sits on unique terrain, from plateaus to craters, and you will need to guard your surrounding resources carefully to prevent your enemies from gaining an advantage.
Freising: Face down your enemies on this frozen tundra for up to 4 players. Each base is tucked behind a plateau, obscuring visibility, and other choke points are tactical places for setting up your defenses along the trenches that run through this landscape.
Jigsaw: With winding trenches and vantage points for your base atop small plateaus, this small map provides a close-quarters challenge for up to 4 players. Your armies will need to fight for dominance on the combat paths - maybe a coordinated airstrike can turn the tides in your favor while your enemy is distracted.

Ashes of the Singularity: Escalation, Now with Faster Load Times and Major Balance Updates

Stardock’s massive-scale real-time strategy game received an update today that reduces load times and improves combat balance and visuals. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/25992960/b7227b5c2460d8ad5fbac36eeb1f82b81dc988c1.jpg {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/25992960/56f4b92c6cdc638530ba71b11b781cc8379eaec2.jpg Ashes of the Singularity: Escalation takes place in a post-technological singularity world where sentient AI, known as the Substrate, are in a war of annihilation against the Post-Human Coalition. "This update makes significant improvements in performance,” said Stardock CEO Brad Wardell. “We increased the number of CPU cores that can simultaneously interact with the GPU from 8 to 16 which should translate to smoother performance when thousands of units are on screen.” {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/25992960/b02b4cc93b33c7ce25c1478fbe0ea0542c03d586.jpg {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/25992960/07313c9b7017fceb85c1385a2958b27c6d49bcde.jpg The Turtle Wars and Entropy scenarios have been re-balanced in order to implement changes from previous version updates. Additionally, the Nashira map has been adjusted to correct some pathing issues that were previously reported. https://store.steampowered.com/app/507490 {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/25992960/637e875b5216c3daa2c2f7545b800904667ae26f.jpg

The 3.0 update for Ashes of the Singularity: Escalation started off as just some visual tweaks to the benchmark early in 2020 (in what would have been 2.96). Little would we realize that by the end of 2020 we would be well on the way to a more major update. This revision of the game came with two stipulations:

Units must feel more differentiated and have a defined purpose.
Armor Piercing needs to be either 100% or 0%, no more in-between states.

That sounds pretty simple on the surface. In most games, it would be fairly straightforward but Ashes is a different critter. Why? Simply because the engine is non-deterministic: put two enemy units in the same spot a few times and you can get a different result every time. Moreover, changing one stat tends to cascade balance in ways you may not immediately recognize. I could expound on this for paragraphs, but I'm getting off track. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2376795421

So where did we start on such a task? Symmetry.

Everything in Ashes has some low-level commonalities: faction, unit tier, shields (for Substrate), sight range, etc. The first step for 3.0 was to take these factors and standardize them across units within the same tier. You'll see these in the next section in detail; this allows players to know (and for us to balance) tiers are certain strength levels, etc. No more guesswork at why a Tier 1 frigate can wipe out Tier 2 cruisers! The second step was to look hard at each unit in the game and focus it. Previously, many units were 'squishy' - you could use them for anything. This is what some players felt turned into the mass wall of death - just build whatever, it doesn't really matter! Well, now it very much does. Just about everything now has a hard counter to it, forcing players to adapt and not rely on masses of whatever. The third step was to recognize that there are many things in the game that are simply non-symmetric. The PHC and the Substrate each have their unique strengths and weaknesses, but they most definitely have unique units and buildings too (especially with Hunter / Prey). You have to accept that some of this stuff just can't be handled the same way.

Ashes of the Singularity: Escalation Massive v3.0 Update is Now Available

Game rebalances, updated benchmarks/visual effects, performance optimizations, and much more

New maps, campaign adjustments, improvements to visual effects, and much more are packed in the update, so be sure to check them all out! https://store.steampowered.com/app/507490

Update Highlights

Game Balance Adjustments
Both the PHC and the Substrate have had their units and buildings carefully balanced against each other, focusing on each unit having a unique role to play. Improved Visual Effects
Many visual changes are present in the update, including unit size adjustments for better scale and visibility. Certain weapon and explosion VFX have also been updated. New Benchmark
The benchmark has been updated in order to stay current with evolving technology. Redundant units and armies have been removed, more unit types are showcased, and new camera angles and views were added. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/25992960/a0c0d9833ba8f6ed88064143c80cf048b2cf48f6.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/25992960/354f0b1be43c99c4c1e39f082d9518b033488e2e.jpg New Maps
Two new maps are now available! Desolation, a 4 player map perfect for 2v2 team matches, and Aetheon, an 8-player map that can play host to some wild free for all fights. Performance Optimizations
Several back-end updates will make the game run more smoothly and look better than ever before. Campaign Adjustments
To keep up with the rest of the game balancing, certain campaign scenarios have also been adjusted to accommodate. Challenge levels have been raised and lowered accordingly, and many miscellaneous fixes also went into several campaigns. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/25992960/97f5bd8975cdf8654aedd2c480b78729af8b52b1.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/25992960/790da475a9ce966575ed70ae2ae5b82aeb48bdf3.jpg The v3.0 update is ready and waiting for you!

Ashes of the Singularity: Escalation Massive v3.0 Update Coming Soon

Game rebalances, updated benchmarks and visual effects, performance optimizations, and more

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/25992960/a0c0d9833ba8f6ed88064143c80cf048b2cf48f6.png Stardock has announced that a major v3.0 update will release on February 4th for its massive-scale RTS game, Ashes of the Singularity: Escalation. This update is an overhaul of the game’s balance, with nothing left untouched - this includes units, buildings, orbital abilities, and more. “Game balance is constantly a work in progress,” said Brian Clair, the VP of Publishing for Stardock who worked extensively on the update. “This version is huge - our major focus was to completely overhaul the game balance and optimize performance.” Both game factions have had their units and buildings carefully balanced against each other. Rather than just adjusting hit points and unit cost, v3.0 focuses on giving each unit a unique role to play. The AI has also been updated significantly, which should provide players with new and exciting challenges when playing against a computer opponent. v3.0 brings a new benchmark, performance optimizations, and major improvements to visual effects. New maps, campaign adjustments, and much more are also included in the massive update. “GPUs and CPUs are constantly evolving,” said Clair. “We wanted to make sure that the benchmark evolved with it. We removed redundant units and armies, revised to show more unit types, and updated camera views and positions for an overall better look.” Check out the 32-page (in Word) changelog here: https://forums.ashesofthesingularity.com/503353 Don't want to wait until February 4th to try the update? Owners of Ashes of the Singularity: Escalation can download the beta right now and explore all of the changes and updates before release. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/25992960/97f5bd8975cdf8654aedd2c480b78729af8b52b1.png http://store.steampowered.com/app/507490

Lobby Name: Metal Mayhem Discord Stream This Saturday we are running a community games event for our massive-scale real-time-strategy Ashes of the Singularity: Escalation. Our events are open to all, with no minimum skill level required. Note: we will be playing the v2.99 opt-in which every owner of Escalation can access by selecting it in the beta tab on Steam. We do prioritise people who are on Discord for voice chat. So join our official server before or on the day of the event.

As 2021 gets underway, we've been working hard to polish up the final balance updates on our opt-in towards a final release. Here's the latest changes made with today's refresh of the public opt-in build. If you'd like to check it out, just follow these directions:

Select Ashes of the Singularity: Escalation in your Steam Library

Click the gear icon in the upper right and select Properties

Select the BETAS tab and then select 'opt-in' from the dropdown

Click the Close button (hitting enter will not work)

General Changes

Players now begin the game with 115 Quanta (up from 100). This is to help with the early game flow updates we made in the previous update.
Engineer/Constructor healing beam range increased to 450m (up from 200m)
Firing angles on weapons (especially beam weapons) adjusted to allow for better targeting of different elevations.
All drones sight range increased to 800m with radar of 815m (same as Tier 1)
Dreadnaught level up experience has been changed to reflect the changes to unit HP (which determines XP gain). New levels are:\
- Level 2: 8,000 XP
- Level 3: 28,000 XP
- Level 4: 48,000 XP
- Level 5: 68,000 XP
Juggernaut XP levels have been adjusted as well to double those of dreadnaughts.
PHC players now start the game with Metal/Radioactives storage capacity of 1,500 (up from 1,000)

AI Changes

The AI has been updated extensively to account for the balance and unit changes made to the game across behaviors and difficulty levels.
The AI will now capture nodes and expand consistently. At lower difficulty levels, the AI will expand less efficiently, while at higher levels (Challenging +) it will highly prioritize node capture, building extractors, amplifiers, etc.
AI army groups have been improved, diversified and updated to their appropriate game options personality types. Default will tend towards air power, Crusher will focus on cruisers, Skirmisher towards frigates, etc. The AI will also switch up strategies as the game progresses based on conditions.
Note that per the above, we have adjusted the bonuses AI players automatically received on Insane. Insane AI players are geared towards multiplayer comp-stomps for advanced players, while lower level AIs should be well matched to various player skill levels.
We fixed a bug that caused the AI to stop building ground units when it switched to air production.
We updated the AI's approach to using air units. Many air units have been incorporated into standard armies as close air support, while larger gunship and heavy bomber reserves will show up in the mid-late game.
We fixed a bug that caused the AI to hoard huge forces at its Nexus. It should now push these units into the field in a timely manner (depending on economic income).
We fixed some map-specific AI behavior issues on Battleline Frenzy and Fast and Furious.

Campaigns

Some campaign missions have been adjusted to reflect the changes made in this (and prior) updates including Escalation - Orion's Spur, Escalation - Betelgeuse, and others.

Ground Unit Updates

Tier 1

Substrate Saboteur: Squad size increased to 5; HP increased to 197 (from 40), Shields increased to 462 (from 45); Logistics increased to 10 (from 8).
Substrate Scarab: Updated leashing to improve formation behavior. HP increased to 124 (from 102), Shields increased to 270 (from 225), Logistics decreased to 10 (from 15)
Substrate Tormentor: Energy set to 60. Weapon cooldown decreased to 8 seconds (from 10), damage increased to 120 (from 80) with 20 energy per shot; weapon velocity increased. These changes are to help give the Substrate an answer to the PHC Artemis.

Tier 2

Substrate Avenger: Updated the Discouraging Streamer weapons to only target T1 units. This was done because the Avenger was overperforming against other T2 and structure targets.
PHC Athena: HP reduced to 2,583 (from 2,870).
Substrate Mauler: HP reduced to 698 (from 853), Shields reduced to 1,627 (from 1,730), Energy reduced to 75 (from 100)
- The changes to the Athena and Mauler were made to give the Hera, Eradicator, Skirmisher and Clutch of Eggs better positions as mid-game cruiser forces.
Substrate Destructor: Plasma Rain damage decreased to 14 (from 20), weapon speed increased to 320 - its anti-structure ability was a bit too good. Leashing updated to prevent the Destructor from running to the front of an army. Secondary weapon range increased to 1,400.
PHC Artemis: Harpoon cooldown increased to 6.5 (from 6), min firing range increased to 300m (from 100m), damage increased to 422 (from 200), projectile speed increased. Missile barrage range decreased to 1300m (from 1400m), damage decreased to 59 (from 70).
Substrate Eradicator: Sniper gun damage increased to 450 (from 400); plasma cannon damage increased to 10 (from 8); firing arcs adjusted so they can fire on more easily.
Substrate Falling Star: Stun on death ability now stuns buildings for 6 seconds (up from 3)
Substrate Clutch of Eggs: On death now spawns 5 squads of Spiderlings (up from 4)
PHC Nemesis: Weapons ranges reduced to 1200m (from 1400m)

Tier 3

PHC Cronus: Multiple updates to make this dreadnought a more viable choice.

Missile battery shots increased to 12 (from 8), AoE increased to 150m (from 100m), shot velocity increased. Visuals updated.
Rail cannons can now fire at targets more easily.
Death Blossom (ability): Range increased to 800m (from 600m)
Orion Cascade (ability): Range increased to 300m/1850m (from 400m/1200m), AoE increased to 75m (from 50m), damage increased to 120 (from 60), projectile speed increased; new visuals added.
Subsonic Demolish (ability): AoE decreased to 120m (from 150m), now Armor Piercing, visuals updated.

Substrate Overmind: Multiple improvements to make the Overmind a more lethal unit.

HP increased to 7,710 (from 6,417), Shields increased to 14,750 (from 11,375), Armor increased to 5 (from 4)
Drone leashing increased to 400m so they'll attack targets more easily.
Plasma Bolts: Cooldown increased to 2 (from 1.9), range increased to 750m (from 600), damage increased to 30 (from 10); weapon arcs/turret movement adjusted so these can now fire at more targets.
Various updates to improve unit movement.

PHC Hyperion: This unit proved to be a bit too strong and has been tweaked:

Laser Pulse Cannon: Damage decreased to 68 (from 80)
Autocannons: Range increased to 700m (from 600), damage decreased to 17 (from 20)

Substrate Retributor: The Retributor was underperforming compared to the Hyperion and so got some buffing:

HP increased to 11,340 (from 10,111), Shields decreased to 13,860 (from 15,800)
Particle Beam Cannons: Duration decreased to 3 (from 4); damage increased to 200 (from 150)
Plasma Cannons: Range increased to 700m (from 400); damage increased to 20 (from 6)

PHC Prometheus: Plasma and Autocannon ranges increased to 700m (from 400/600 respectively). Autocannon firing arcs updated to target more enemies. Overloaded Quad Cannon shot visuals updated.
Substrate Savager: The Savager needed to help in order to have the same anti-T3 capability as the Prometheus.

WMC damage increased to 75 (from 59); type changed to Bolt (from Explosive)
Executor (WMC upgrade) cooldown decreased to 4.1 (from 60), damage decreased to 150 (from 320); type changed to Bolt (from Explosive). The Executor upgrade replaces the WMC when taken, which made the Savager only able to fire its primary weapon once every minute; this is the reason for the cooldown update.

Air Units

While air has become a viable strategy now, we noticed that players were using fighters to screen against damage and decimate ground forces.

PHC Pan: HP decreased to 210 (from 350) - this was an error and wasn't meant to be so high.
Substrate Searcher: HP decreased to 57 (from 105), Shields decreased to 132 (from 245)
PHC Instigator: Updated flying performance so these can properly capture nodes.
PHC Fury: HP decreased to 750 (from 1000)
Substrate Dominator: HP decreased to 225 (from 284), Shields decreased to 525 (from 615)
PHC Hades: HP increased to 1569 (from 1557)
Substrate Punisher: HP decreased to 445 (from 490), Shields decreased to 966 (from 1067), Metal cost decreased to 280 (from 310), Radioactives cost decreased to 180 (from 220)
PHC Air Marauder: HP decreased to 2755 (from 3190); Ripper cannon shots decreased to 17 (from 24), interpulse duration increased.
Substrate Rampager: HP reduced to 827 (from 1101), Shields decreased to 1928 (from 2089), Metal cost decreased to 580 (from 620), Radioactives cost decreased to 320 (from 440).
PHC Strategic Bomber: Weapon now uses the same targeting as the Hades. Cooldown increased to 9 (from 6), range decreased to 700m (from 1400), projectile speed increased. Don't let these changes fool you - this has improved weapon accuracy and the weapon deals 900 per attack!
Substrate Air Harbinger: HP decreased to 1953 (from 2343), Shields increased to 4557 (from 4166), Metal cost reduced to 1085 (from 1150).

Static Defenses

Nexus: Both PHC and Substrate Nexus' now have an anti-air weapon with a range of 1100m.
Substrate Serpentine Turret: This turret was underperforming compared to its PHC counterpart. Damage has been increased to 85 (from 45) with a tweak to its pulse between shots.
Substrate Drone MRV: Range increased to 1600m (from 1200m)
PHC Falcon AA: Cooldown decreased to 1.5 (from 2), range increased to 1200m (from 1150), damage increased to 36 (from 29)
Substrate Starburst: Cooldown increased to 1.5 (from 1.2), damage increased to 36 (from 20)
PHC Barrager Turret: Damage increased to 75 (from 45); firing arcs adjusted so that 2 pods should be able to hit a single target.
Substrate Heavy Annihilator: Cooldown increased to 1.5 (from 0.5), shots decreased to 30 (from 40).
PHC Artillery Post: Range decreased to 2000m (from 2800); now requires Weapons Lab to build.
PHC Nova Tower: Range decreased to 2000m (from 2800)

Non-Defensive Buildings

PHC Quantum Relay / Substrate Quantum Archive: Radioactives cost decreased to 285 (from 400).
PHC Refinery: Radioactives cost decreased to 350 (from 600), build time decreased to 80 (from 120). These changes are to help account for the Substrate's Harvester flexibility.
