Hello it's Ricardo and welcome back to battlestar galactica deadlock big news
everybody battlestar galactica deadlock is going to get a conclusion to its
season 2 campaign as announced by slytherin and black lag
games in the form of battlestar galactica
deadlock armistice all dealing with the fact of the cylons
losing their grip on the war this concludes season two but that is
not all a bit of a double whammy came out as
slytherin and black lab also announced the modern ships pack as well that was
going to come in uh in conjunction with armistice however
this is going to have some ships all from the modern ron moore
battlestar galactica which we know and love
now here's the thing how's this going to affect gameplay
what's it all about well let's find out
yes folks we're back with a great real-time strategy game battlestar
galactica deadlock for the end of what has
obviously been a horrible 2020 so good on you black lab games and good on you
slithering games as well for getting this released just to give someone a
little bit of battlestar galactica goodness
uh before the end of the year and you've all been waiting for it
so what's this new dlc all about well following on from the ghostly
defense where we saw some covert missions behind
enemy lines for the colonial fleet it turns out that the cylons are now
losing their grip on the wall but whispers of a new super weapon
reached the colonial fleet the sg75 which is the battle star group
battlestar galactica's 75 battle group embarks on a race against time to
uncover the cylon secret and prevent the annihilation of the
human race and the 12 colonies so what's it all
gonna feature so straight out we've got eight new
story-driven campaign missions that are set at the final days of the
first cylon war of course we had ghostly defensive
mentioning the adama characters and things from blood and chrome just
the area of where it was actually set now we're getting into the final days of
it where it is the d mobbing i suppose of the colonial fleet
and the last pushes against the remnants of the cylon next
up is nine new resource missions which can
be used in any season two campaign
all good stuff by that and not only that there's going to be
three new music tracks by composer ash gibson greg i hope i've pronounced that
right so this is the final chapter and
armistice is an explosive eight mission story campaign right bring in season two
of battlestar galactica deadlock to a thrilling conclusion
what's that close loss been all about up about right what's he been going on
about um what's his plot for dominion and take
part in the legendary operation raptor talon now no idea what
all that's about perhaps that's the adama and koka
mission don't know who knows i don't think it
was really but we'll have to wait and see what operation
raptor talon is all about so as i mentioned season two was
comprised of battlestar galactica deadlock
resurrection where we saw the rebuilding and the retrieval of the galactica from
the sea of capricorn after the end of season one and also
ghostly defensive just covert missions behind enemy lines
giving it back to the cylons and very closely following
or should we say sort of closely following
the themes of battlestar galactica blood and chrome
so we're going to get a new story eight missions fantastic
you get nine new resource missions fantastic and some new music
all aimed towards the last parts of the first cylon war
great but let's address the elephant in the room
the introduction of new ships primarily the pegasus
long of we had to put up with the tissue paper minevra
battlestar two missile batteries absolutely fantastic
now we're gonna get the behemoth mercury class battlestar
right the iconic modern battlestar the beast
which we saw in the ron moore um dramatization televised dramatization
the pack does contain six ships of the modern era of battle star galactica
but they can only be used in skirmish multiplayer and anabasis for those
you're wondering what anabasis is it's a kind of survival mode they brought
in uh during season one of battlestar galactica deadlock which sees you in a
small fleet collecting additional refugees as the cylons pushed
into colonial space so you can use them there you can use
them in skirmish you can use them in multiplayer
but you can't use them in the story campaigns
okay so you gotta get your multiplayer on which is okay you know
it's okay in addition to this not only are we gonna have the colonial mercury
but you're also gonna have you've guessed it the colonial battle star
valkyrie now this is a support battlestar
okay quite smaller 700 meters in length we've seen it um in the original tv
series and then in the tv movies uh it was adama's
command before battlestar he got given the battlestar galactica
for his sins due to a failed mission with the viper pilot bulldog where they
were doing reconnaissance into cylon space
so the battle style valkyrie is a type of battlestar that would prove very
popular in the years following the first cylon war its small frame is heavily
armed allowing for a highly maneuverable
artillery package so everybody wanted the valkyrie now
we've got it there you go um people should be happy
but everybody won't be happy because you can't use it in the campaign but more
campaigns are going to be coming you know there's a whole um road map
for slytherin games uh and black lab games
now you've all had to make do with the mark one and mark two colonial viper and
they've done a sterling job but now we're gonna get the colonial viper mark
7 modern space superiority fighter as
first seen in the mini series which um let's face it apollo flew to
galactica and then after that he kind of bombed
around in his own uh mark ii uh and his father's ship which
also starbuck kind of flew as well so that's the
colonial ships that we're gonna get in addition to that
what are we gonna get on the cylon side the is not going to be left out don't
you worry the cylon modern bastard command ship the cylon guardian baster
and the modern raider that we've seen from the don moore series
um with that modern base there and like their predecessors these base stars
relied solely on missiles and fighter deployments for protection
these modern base stars utilize an organic whole resin
which allowed structural damage to be repaired quickly
so regenerating bay starry and then you've got the cylon guardian
baster which is a base star prototype although all the way through the
development of this base there is shrouded in secrecy
it is understood that it escaped operation raptor talon
with the prophetic um hybrid prototype um and a carder of centurions
so expect that the one to be blasting in
there i would imagine to do loads of little micro jumps around
your ships and then start boarding your base stars
with centurions as well to take you out from the inside
but there's also more there's the free daybreak
update features that also come um there's the ability to have
photo mode where you can pause the action during your replays and capture
the screenshots from the very feature rich and
graphically rich environments that you can get within your replays pc
users can also use their favorite captures as
loading screens so there's gonna be a change to those boring old loading
screens we finally got some good ones as well in season two
there's also gonna be and i've been after this for ages
an increase in fleet caps oh my god we're
we've gone away now right from what i thought at 8 000 was a hard
cap to beat right you know anyway so what they're going to do is they're
going to be increase the caps for fleets to 16 000
points so that's up another 8 000 and a maximum of 10
ships for skirmish multiplayer and operation and a basis
so no mention there right
of what's happening in the campaign may stay the same you don't know it says
the caps for fleet composition have been increased to 16
000 points and 10 ships for skirmish multiplayer
an operation and a basis multiplayer includes two new freak point tiers
twelve thousand and sixteen thousand four matches
for multiplayer enhancements three new modes to play battlestar galactica
deadlock online uh multi uh multiplayer demolition in demolition mode
one fleet is tasked with destroying a critical station
the other with defending it at all cost the attacking player wins
if the station is destroyed then you also have extraction
a refugee fleet of defectors is ambushed why their ftl
drives are spooling in extraction the defending player wins when the last
at least one civilian ships jumps out the battle and propaganda
um a satellite relay broadcast mission there which will broadcast your
political manifesto you have to fake fight for control of that network the
more satellites you control the faster your opponent counter
decreases also included in this update custom team
colors select your own personal style bit
modification and more cooperative mode cylon fleets to choose from and
challenge the fleet building improvements
quality of life improvements the fleet builder ui to make
composing your epic fleets faster an accuracy printout panel
when selecting a focus fire target information will be displayed for any
weapon that can hit that target that would be really good and also a
pre-battle fleet list well fighting the cylons in any of the
story mission campaigns you can now view your fleets list before
preceding the upcoming battle that'll be quite
interesting to see also there's combat balancing a whole
host of updates and balancing changes including but not
excluding the exclusion ranges for tactical jumps
reworking of the irradiated cluster bomb and emp mechanics
and also a substance system repair rate boost
added to defenders tech support ability
sounds very confusing mines can now be disarmed mid
element plus many more balanced updates for cylon
and colonial fleets they've done a load of bug fixes and performance
improvements and this i think came quite out of the blue
especially with everyone working at home as well during the covid pandemic

deadlock armistice the modern ships pack and also take a
