This mod is an upgrade of the Reticulan mod 1.0 with several new features. The biggest addition is the technology to create human and beastman clones that can fight alongside with your soldiers.

This game does not allow to get any more soldiers than the predefined ones (drones not included). But you can get martian robot bodies after robots missions and repair them after researching the appropiate technology.
This mod uses the same trick: you can produce cloned bodies than can be "repaired", and then you can use them as any other of your soldiers. An annoying side effect of this technique is that the clones are "repaired" with only 1 HP like the martian drones, so they need a lot of healing before you can use them.

There are also a lot of other changes in this mod, with new items, technologies and trainings.

We decided to release for our fans our special edition comic The Decline and Fall of the Flying Island. It is now downloadable for free, only for you. We hope you will enjoy.

The first unofficial fan patch for UFO: Aftershock is finally available for public.

Little info on the current version:

1. new weapons and items.
2. new descriptions and models (exept some mines, original missile launchers and barret rifle).
3. new sound effects.
4. new techs. All research regarding various weapons/items handling was removed.
5. tech prerequisites for firearms, drones and some other techs were modified a bit.
6. adjusted almost all weapons. Launchers, grenades and mines deal a lot of damage. Melee weapons all deal increased damage. Throwing grenades require less time to prime, aim and throw.
7. re-equiped all factions with new weapons.
8. removed scout drone and all drone scanning equipment and autodestructor. Drones are now heavy weapons support systems.

Here's the changelog:

Fixed:

• Add-on duplication bug
• Expedition Commander and Expedition Soldier mix up in research item names
• Drones no longer get paralyzed by Beastman paralyzing ammunition
• It is no longer possible to get additional characters to join your team by letting a drone get killed during a mission
• It is now possible to fix the "corrupted ground textures" problem by disabling bump mapping for ground models in the "Graphics" option menu (thanks to Stucuk and Lord Storm)

New/changed features:

• Removed some shader restrictions to allow the game to run on wider variety of graphics cards
• The game now displays a dialog box when enemy attacks your home base
• It is now possible to change the item mode for all selected units at once
• Enemies use different fire modes based on the distance to their targets
• The game will now use different quick save files for tactical and strategic modes
• The game no longer generates capture missions on enemy main bases

Modding related changes:

• Third armor add-on slot is now visible when using mods that enable it

This patch also includes localization packs for every language the game has been released and a helper application which makes changing the in-game language easier for users.

ALTAR Games is busy working on their next project and plan no further updates for UFO: Afterlight. They wish for the game to expand however, and have therefore given the source-code to a few dedicated fans. Petteri “PetteriB” Bamberg will maintain the UFO: Afterlight source-code in the time to come with help from Jason "Kret" Rodrigo and Stuart “Stucuk” Carey.

As his first contribution to the community, Petteri has completed patch 1.6 for UFO: Afterlight. This patch includes lots of bug-fixes that fans of the game wished for, and removes the copy-protection! That’s right; developer ALTAR and publisher 1C Company has agreed to remove the DVD check from the retail version of the game! You can read more about the updates to the game in the official forum.
