This is a round up of all the weekly alpha's that we publish on the EX homepage since the 6.25 beta release. This means all you need to play this latest version is Source SDK 2007, EX 6.25 beta and this patch. I'm releasing this round up now because there have been a lot of patches since the beta and I know a lot of folks have trouble keeping up, also the 6.3x series of alphas now has a set features that are sufficiently even to be balanced. Everything should now be working, it's just a matter of balance testing and tweaking that balance before this becomes the new Beta version.

Last minute addition from Nqss ex_tarsis_ultra.rar
Installation
If you already have a copy of the EX alpha, delete it. If you don't already have Beta 6.25 download and install it as normal. Copy the sourcemods/ex folder containing beta 6.25 and re4main it to sourcemods/ex_alpha (so you can still play the beta version too). Extract the 6.32 patch to your sourcemods folder ( they should overwrite files in the ex_alpha folder ). Extract the ex_tarsis_ultra.rar to your SourceMods/ex_alpha/maps/ folder. Restart Steam. You should now see both the Exterminatus Beta 6.25 and Exterminatus Alpha listed in your library.
If you have problems installing or running this patch visit the Steam Community Game Group, chat room on Steam. I'll be there to offer advice during testing times (please be patient, I will be in-game, participating in the test at the same time).

Future Plans
I'll be working on bug fixes, aesthetic improvements (particle effects) and balance tweaking from now until we're ready for a new beta release. In order to test the balance of the mod I need to at least double the number of alpha testers that have been attending in recent weeks. I hope to see you all in-game.
