Ultimate Apocalypse Mod
News - July
We want to get rid of as many bugs as possible before its release! There are still lots of things to accomplish before the 1.74 final release and we get closer and closer to its completion (obviously :p). Now to point out some things, like you are aware, the 1.74 release will indeed include Inquisition Daemonhunters and Chaos Daemons!!! On top of that, bug fixes everywhere and balance + improved ai from version 1.73.
Overall the release is going to be huge and with two new races apart of the mod, it is back to the good ol' times like in the 1.72 days, only better. So here is the gist.
- Sounds -
Flat out different music than 1.73. We replaced the musics in 1.73 with original 1.72 soundtrack + added more to the music at a total of just under 30 soundtracks to listen to during game and it is great. The sounds applied to the Manta, Boomy Turret, Hellfex, Necron Turret, and more was improved. Dark Eldar dark lance sound was improved.
- Infiltration Concept -
So the attempt and reliability to click and click to stealth your units fails... players should not have to worry about that. Infiltrated units unfortunately in DOW has little to no work arounds for this, so I came up with a solution: if the in_combat_ext modifiers actually work in DOW, infiltrators remain infiltrated until they attack. Otherwise if not, infiltrators can attack when infiltrated again, and we will give some dedicated stealth detector units. All infantry units will be able to detect infiltrators like in 1.73.
- Sisters of Battle -
End game has been fixed and on top of that, the unfinished and flawed release of the Sisters is all polished now and plays nicely once again! I even improved some gameplay advantages of the Sisters.
- Chaos Space Marines -
We are reimplementing the Marks system. The specific mark chosen will allow chaos to field specific chaos champions with new abilities and more. The Daemon Prince applied to the champions appearance will not be changed, but will be stronger and different upon the mark chosen. Sorceror and Cultist benefits are unchanged and fine as is. Mark specific passive abilities will be applied to all units such as damage bonus (Khorne), health regen (Nurgle), ability recharge (Tzeentch), morale (Slaanesh). Mark specific superweapons will be added.
- Necrons -
Completely different, similar to 1.72 style, and you will love them again. 1.73 Necrons were indeed bad and I goofed them up while trying out new concepts. They had a very, very, very, very poor economy style/flow and they were nerfed like a boss in 1.73, but in 1.74, their economy is different, and for those who like the bigger plasma generators, they are back and in action once again! New research, new base defense including shields (shields redone just like Tau) as well, and... new units.
- Tau -
The Mako Titan and very few other units were indeed rebalanced. Tau in 1.73 were absolutely great, and in 1.74, they are ultimately improved. Mako beating Manta? Fixed. Tau shields visibility was now dimmed down by a lot so you can see your base. How shields work is also different like with Necrons.
- Orks -
New titan units. Fixes. Rebalanced.
- Space Marines -
Tons of new units. Bug fixes.
- Dark Eldar -
Little changes besides balance changes.
- Eldar -
Little changes besides balance changes.
- Imperial Guard -
Lots of new stuff and lots of new changes.
- Tyranids -
Global ability fx revamp and balance changes, plus giving them some late game love.
- Bonus map pack -
Maybe available before 1.74 release. Includes fixes and new maps!
That is pretty much 80% of the heart of 1.74. There will be one more thing included in 1.74 and you may have seen it from the past. ;)
As for the 1.74 work in progress, it is going good and strong. Chaos Daemons are almost done and Inquisition are getting an extreme make over by me. :O
So that's the plan. Any questions?

"News - June"
Isn't it supposed to be written up there News - July?
Yer trolly spree will not suffer the wrath of agony the Dark Eldar and Eldar combined making out to the vigilance of my super uber staff - just look at the beauty of Gandalf's staff! The ex. mark shows you how much I'm yelling! And you shal not pass!
Yay! It is correct now!
Still your mix of DE and E with Gandalf doesn't make perfect sense to me, maybe later i shall try to pass or not to pass.
I am curious though about the new units for SM, are there FoK/PoK models not added before or something entirely new? Either way i can wait to find out.
Question:
Are you as excited as me?
:D
Changes sound interesting.
You re the only one excited...
Everyboy will be excited at the release and not before.
This news is over all here to show it 's still in progress and to give informations about the content
Question: when?!.
Nah kidding :D Great job UA team!
OMG! Give it here! Nah, just kidding but Soulstormfan; Pfff, great job? More like an epic job! And I hope that the Addon from Crosslune will be even better than last time. The hype train has left the station and is going warp speed guys!
Thats what I said...
I wonder if they will ever implement that Basilblade or what have you
Great news.
Will it be ready this year?
It might be ready this month or next.
this year? WTF
i hope this is for this month or at least the next not in december imao
Wonderful!
I cant wait for new version, all the new stuff and 2 new races, you guys killing me
Yay! Cant wait for the new version :D I hope the Daemonhunters have better textures that originally
originally it got awsome textures from compiler but if you re talking about the new custum GK i agree.
The Sisters of battle got the same problem and i had to download the sister HD textures to fix them. Anyway this mod doesnt fix all textures of SOB of ultimate apocalypse mod
Glad to see Tyranids getting some new content. They needed some help early game, as DE Orks and Chaos all rush and Spore Chimneys are defenseless (unlike every other faction). I'm so pleased with 1.73... I can't imagine how much better it's going to be! Nice work!
Was the eldar turret bug, mentioned in the bugs forum, fixed?
Now? No. Later? Probably. :P
Will the campaign be playable in this version?
Next version.
when the version 1.74 come?
Great job guys! :D
This comment is currently awaiting admin approval, join now to view.
Damn awesome!
My questions are :
Is this patch almost done? How much time left for its release? A few days? weeks?
Are you gonna work on the survival maps after this because i play a lot them but they are bugged ?
Survival maps will not be worked on in this version, next version they will be. :)
great so i ll completely enjoy your mod ^^
thanks for the feedbak anyway
saawwweeetttt
Also, will you guys be adding more maps without the fog?
Indeed. :) You can expect some nice touches along with spome bug fixes on the other maps. ^^
Noice :D can't wait for the release! FOR THE EMPRAH
all ik is im getting tired of waiting but i have to for the good of mankind and imperium.
Wait, does this mean the Daemon Prince won't have a god-specific appearance? Because it seems like that from the wording.
Tyranids mod team is working on version 0.5b3 and you are also fixing tyranids so... Is tyranid mod needed again for 1.74 or it will be included with 1.74?
I don't know what 0.5b3 would have in store. I assume 1.74 would work for 0.5b2 and 3. Regardless, 1.74 will provide fixes for 0.5b3 to make that work, too when it comes out. With the addition to new links linked up to 0.5b3.
Sorry for silly question.
I haven't played for about 9 months or so, reinstalled version 1.73 and i can't find inquisition and demons races, did I do something wrong, or they were cut? Thou i can see the inquisition in the mod selection menu...
Please read frequently asked questions section via Mod main page -> Tutorials -> FAQ
