Hello everyone!
Hope you all enjoy our little April fools joke update last week.
We're now back bringing you some proper news on ROTR development.
Before we dive head first in to developing 2.0 we're going to squeeze in one more major release that will be known as version 1.87
This release will address some of the current problems in game balance, bugs and introduce some new things for all factions.
I'm sure you all remember the Backbear render we posted in early January.
We're happy to announce that its its coming to ROTR 1.87 in shape of a new rank5 generals power called "Ursa Division" which will alow you to build a single Blackbear.
In addition to that all all Kodiaks, Golems and Sentinels build after choosing this generals power wil be build as Veterans.
Here are some screenshots showing the Blackbear ingame:
Additionally Boris can now be trained directly from the barracks and no longer requires a weapon load out to be selected beforehand.
Instead Boris can now chose his weapon load out in the field, this also means that you can select a new weapon load out every time he falls in action and is retrained from the barracks.
Stay tuned for more updates in the coming weeks

THE BLACKBEAR IS HERE! YES! WE CAN TALK ABOUT THIS BEAST NOW!
Well I should mention that I was the one who drew firstblood on it with my raptors,
(With Skitt doing most of the damage with his own forces beforehand ofc
)
Re_Simeone, I can promise to you that it wont be reserved for 2.0
Now you know where the hell all testers disappeared to in last week.
(to the players from the RotR Skype Group).

So he has the AK by default and can be upgraded further with either MG or rocket?

I was the first one who drew first blood to a heroic one ^^ , almost getting a double kill
That looks sick. How will the Manticore fare 1v1 the BB?
I'd like to see a 1v1 video

Now with BB-sentinel, Motherland's enemies won't just taste russian firepower - they will choke on it. Also, new Boris cameo is magnificent.

You will REMEMBER THE NAME of this thing, since it GIVES SOMETHING TO FEAR to those who DON'T KNOW WHO THEY'RE MESSING WITH
And as one of the guys who have heard its voiceover already I can assure you it is not piloted by bears in ushanka hats (they drive Sentinels), but piloted by a professional crew of actual people.

Even the voiceover sounds proffesional. Off with the Russian Batman-Impersonation and in with the " I know what the f'ck am doing, and they're all gonna die " voice

Why does he NEED a revamp? He works fine as a sabotage hero/ Specialized sniper.

Because we don't have Moles, Warhounds and Pioneers doing specifically that. Not to mention a dedicated GP.

It is good to know that has news on the way.
Ursa Division will be very powerful, if someone thought that ECA could go up against Russian tanks in some cases it is time to rethink this.
The new Boris is much more attractive, its versatility and provide an extra dose of destruction; the new icon is wonderful (more compatible with the quality of the other icons).
Waiting to see more 2.0 content, particularly new mechanics still in version 1.87.

I think not. No tank is capable of resisting a direct hit from a neutron bomb, after all
But it's over for Manticore now.
Everything that happens before picking this GP (Including ICBMs, Backfires, all kind of assaults) is just the calm before the storm...

Well u know, Blackbear itself isnt the main threat. The veteran army is the real one. So if u lost ur Blackbear to a neutron bomb, Kill it with some hinds, sacrifice some more hinds to kill the pandora and rape the eneny with veteran army
Russia OP
and are the mini gunners going to be fixed for china?

Do you guys include the ~Sab0taJ~/Mizo Brutal AI in the 1.87 update? Or will it remain an unofficial add-on?
