Of Places Prohibited

by on 10th May 2013

Myth no more. Fears will have to be conquered, frontiers expanded and so shall conflicts erupt anew in the farthest recesses of unexplored space because, as it turns out, the rumours were true and the first downloadable content for Sins of a Solar Empire: Rebellion is really on its way.

"Forbidden Worlds" adds new planet types, planet specialization, technologies, planetary bonuses and additional Steam achievements (...)

The war between the loyalists and the rebels within the TEC, Advent and Vasari continues within the depths of Trader Space. Yet, this sector of the galaxy has far more worlds and history than any of the factions are aware. The need to survive forces each to expand into the unknown, discovering worlds of hazard, wealth, risk, and mystery. Most ominously, the Trader factions have been loathe to expand to these worlds due to the dark myths that surround them.

The taboo feature list:

• Four new planet types to colonize and exploit (Barren, Ferrus, Greenhouse, Oceanic), each created with beautiful high-res textures.
• New Planet Specialization System: Dedicate your worlds to either social or industrial output. Devoting your planet to social improvements will increase its population and culture, at the cost of trade income and ship production. Choosing an industrial path will limit your growth and culture, but make your planet a trading and ship building powerhouse.
• 15 new research subjects allow the races to conquer and expand onto the forbidden worlds.
• Discover 40 new planet bonuses during your exploration of the galaxy, unlocking the dark past of the Sins’ universe.
• Unlock five new Steam Achievements and display your mastery of forbidden space!

This DLC pack is thusly to be proscribed no more and much indeed shall it be spoken of until it becomes available through leading digital retail outlets come June 5th.
