Auckland, New Zealand - March 15th 2013
DataSmugglers is pleased to announce that the highly
anticipated Dinosaur and Time Machine Expansion for Ironfell, the
indie MMORTS, is now live!
www.ironfell.com
The expansion doubles the number of units in Ironfell and
introduces two new resources to fight for. Oil seeps out of the
ground in existing PVP realms and Engineers can build pump jacks to
collect that oil. Electricity is generated slowly by Windmills and
quickly by Oil generators. Inventors can build Time Machines that
give you access to 65 million years ago where dinosaurs roam.
The new dinosaurs include rare Tyrannosaurus who can clear 100's
of swordsman but fare poorly against masses of the new Riflemen
units. Small Oryctodromeus can dig burrows between prehistoric
realms. Ultrasaurus and Diplodocus are two herbivorous dinosaurs
who eat the new larger multi-stage Wollemia trees and pass the
seeds allowing you to grow more trees where you need them.
Ironfell is free to play on Mac OSX, Windows, Browser and
Android. All platforms connect to the same massive, persistent
universe consisting of 75,000 realms packed with 3.5 million user
controlled units.
In the next few days DataSmugglers will announce an indiegogo
kick starter to fund the next expansion - Space!
