Dear Community,
In the last news we've promised a new feature for TPC: We're happy to announce the release of the first Wave Mode mode!
Wave Mode is a skirmish ( =mutiplayer compatible) defense scenario developed by Locutus in which you have to survive against a certain number of enemy waves depending on the map. With todays update you'll get the first map called "Battle over Antarctica". In this scenario you'll have to defend yourself against the most powerful systemlord of all times and protect Earth from falling into Anubis' hands using special types of units and buildings. The ultimate battle is waiting for you!
As usual, you can grab the patch simply by starting our Mod Launcher. To introduce the core features of Wave Mode Locutus created a short let's play video showing most of the maps' innovations. Of course this just helps with orientation as every Wave Mode battle will turn out different and only a proper strategy will lead you to success.
Additionally we also want to show you the latest progress we've achieved with the Jaffa units. In the last units we only presented some renders to you - this time they've have learned how to walk:
Finally we want to announce something that's not related to the mod but should let the heart beat faster of every Stargate fan. In spring 2016 Stargate: Atlantis author Mark Haynes will publish an official comic series dealing with the events of the never-released Atlantis Season 6 and Stargate Universe season 3.

That's it for this month. Stay tuned for more and enjoy Wave Mode.

The new mode is kind of cool. Can we expect more levels like it? For example defending Atlantis with the Tau'ri against the Wraith?
Yeah, we've planed one additional map. If everything goes well it will be out before/for Christmas:)
Very nice! Looking forward to it.
I CANT WAIT! thanks for the update, and thanks again for making such an awesome mod<3
played the new map a couple times and i absolutly love it, im kinda curious tho about the I.S.S., is it supposed to have shield like in its description? im not complaining cause i was able to protect it easily but im just wondering.
Glad you enjoyed it:)
Good eye! The (incorrect) description will be updated with the next patch:)
Very nicely done i realy can't wait until i can get my hands on the new map :D
you're doing a very nice job :D
also very nice to show something of the ground part :D
You should totally make a wave mode for Atlantis against the wraith!
Will there be a galactic conquest mod any time soon? I miss it a lot :D
A space-only GC is scheduled for release soon(ish?), from what I could tell from the previous news post.
Mind you, I was under the mistaken impression that the GC and the 'special thing' that turned out to be Wave Mode would launch simultaneously, but that's just me misreading things. :o
yes there is a space gc only under way ^^. but as always it takes so much time. As for the normal gc well it is obviously no yet because the ground part isn't ready yet, but we work hard on it.
We're still working hard on the GC's, but it takes more time as we expected to complete the ground part. Don't worry you will get very nice GC's sometimes, just a bit more patience. :)
is the wave mod single player only?
yes :)
...No!
Wave Mode can be played in Multiplayer as well (it was designed for that!) BUT you and your friends need very powerful computers to avoid synchronization errors.
I'll try it out, thanks :)
Even if it doesn't work, it will be fun to see who lasts the longest
