Changes since 1.3.63

Changes

• Support for the Tau Faction Pack DLC. This faction pack includes 14 units from the
  technologically advanced T'au empire. The units included are:
  • T'au Commander (Enforcer and Coldstar variants), Ethereal, Cadre Fireblade, Tactical Drones, Pathfinders, Fire Warrior Strike Team, Fire Warrior Breacher Team, Crisis Battlesuit, Stealth Battlesuit, Broadside Battlesuit, Ghostkeel Battlesuit, Riptide Battlesuit, Piranha and Hammerhead gunship.
  • The T'au faction can be used in skirmish, multiplayer, Planetary Supremacy & Daemonic Incursion.
• Map Builder (beta). This feature allows players to create and share their custom maps. User-generated content (UCG), whether it's a map you create or download, can be used in skirmish & multiplayer, or can be included in a Planetary Supremacy campaign.
  • Maps are shared with other players via an in-game tool that connects to the cross-platform mod.io UGC sharing service. You will need to create a mod.io account to upload or download maps. This can be done from within Battlesector. Visit mod.io for more information about this service.
  • As of this release, the Map Builder is still in beta. It may contain bugs and/or incomplete functionality. We'll be improving the overall user experience before removing the Beta label
• Campaign Builder (beta). This feature allows players to create and share a simple narrative campaign that combines any number of user-created maps. Campaigns have a background story and missions, each using the built-it objective types (Exterminatus, Strategic Command, etc.). Enemy forces can be placed in the campaign maps, and various other options allow for customization of player forces, unlocks and more.
