PoE:2 - Fan Mappack 2.0
Jun 19, 2008 Patch 0 commentsWe have been working over the last few weeks on putting together a second Fan Mappack. The mappack is now ready for release and we hope you will join...
After a long, bloody war in the Sudan, the governments of the United States and Russia struck an uneasy cease-fire over the fate of Africa and its burgeoning industry. This peace would be short lived, for to the north a new conflict was brewing. Ukraine, a former satellite state of the Soviet Union, sought to gain back the power from which it once reveled in.
As the snow fell in a heavy midwinter storm, Ukrainian troops moved towards the border of Belarus. Without warning, Ukrainian troops attacked with a speed and effectiveness not seen since the blitzkrieg of WWII. With their aggressive tactics, the Ukrainian army reached the capital of Belarus in a matter of weeks. The lightly armed and ill-prepared Belarusian army could do little to stop this onslaught of men and metal.
The fall of Minsk signaled the end of resistance throughout Belarus. The bordering countries of Ukraine and Belarus began to wonder if they were as vulnerable to occupation as Belarus had been.
The United Nations condemned these attacks as unjust and illegal but was unable to pass a mandate to take action against the expansionist aims of Ukraine. The UN's inability to act upon the actions of the Ukrainian army only strengthened Ukraine's resolve that they could not easily be stopped. Six months came to pass with no military action against Ukraine but rumors had started that Ukraine was systematically killing their former political competitors. With no clear evidence of the assassinations, the United Nations was still reluctant to take action.
As time passed, more evidence surfaced of executions, illegal imprisonment, and torture; however, it was all unconfirmed information until a Kramaerican Photo reconnaissance satellite passed overhead. The satellite caught pictures of mass graves where the Ukrainian army had been dumping the bodies of political enemies and what appeared to be unarmed civilians.
This information was promptly forwarded to the UN Security Council. With an unprecedented 93% majority, a mandate was drafted and signed. Troops would be sent into Ukraine and Belarus to bring those who had committed these crimes to justice. In an underground bunker, military advisers and command staff from around the world met to plan the attack.
The principal military force to go into Ukraine would be led by Germany and the United States. They planned to hit Ukraine first in the hopes that if the Ukrainian public found out about the war crimes their government had committed in their name, the citizens would lay down their arms and greet the American and German troops as liberators. The plan consisted of a massive airborne assault and armored spear head from Poland. The German forces would rush to Kiev in the heart of the country, while the United States protected their northern flank from the Ukrainian troops based in Belarus.
On a dim night in September, the invasion of Ukraine was started. Through the darkness came ten thousand airborne troops, dropping from the sky like a heavy rainstorm.
The destiny of Eastern Europe now lies in your hands. It is time for you to choose which side of this epic conflict you shall fight on to prove your Point of Existence.

We would like to start off this weeks news by thanking all those who entered our Billboard contest. We will be posting the entries soon for a public vote where you can pick your favorites that will make it in game!
Ga-Knomboe Boy has been at work on a new urban map that we would like to show off a couple teasers for. This map is small, tight, and infantry focused. Take a peek yourself and see.
Our other item this week is a small in game video featuring the Littlebird. Daarken and Raptor were flying around on Berezan Island by SgtWedge and made this little video. The video highlights the bird as well as some effects that Dfast has been working on for our mini guns. Check it out!

Gamers,
Just some pre-news before we post our weekly news update later today. We have moved to the next step with our internal alpha build and have given it to our testing team to finally begin testing. They are currently just testing the levels that have been developed for lag & static issues but we have also came to a point in our development that we have "content cutoff". This just means that there will be no more items added to our list for things to be included in our first build released to the public. There is still things that are approved to be developed which you will see over the next few weeks.
