Introversion has released a "Darwinia" patch, bringing the innovative
strategy game up to version 1.42. The patch is for the retail version
of the game. If you have the Steam version, it will automatically be
applied.
"This patch adds a new Difficulty setting to the game (which internally
we had under the codename "Submission Mode"). Difficulty level 1 is
standard, and it goes all the way up to 10. Higher difficulty levels
makes the enemies faster and tougher, as well as making more of them to
deal with. Enemy spawners like the Triffids, Egg layers etc will spawn
new Virii at a faster rate. You can find this Difficulty setting in the
Options window under "Other Options". Play on Difficulty 10 and
experience Darwinia on Steroids!"
We've also fixed some bugs:
- Problem which would cause a save game to crash on load, due to
Squaddies being in transit (between Radar Dishes) at the time of the
save
- Bug on the final level (Temple) which placed one of the enemy
Spawn Points outside the Population Lock. This would result in more and
more enemies spawning on the island - with no upper limit.
- A few other small bugs
The full changelist can be found
here, and you can download the 1.52MB patch from the
official site.
