Ashes of the Singularity: Escalation “Inception” DLC Now Available

One week ago, Stardock released v2.2 update that adds new maps and mod support for Ashes of the Singularity: Escalation but now has introduced the Inception DLC over the Easter-long weekend, which adds a new type of split scenario and more new maps to the real-time strategy planetary warfare game.

A mysterious entity known as Nihilon has returned to wreak havoc on the planet Oneiros and has seized control of some of the Substrate consciousnesses residing there. As the Substrate, you must rescue your corrupted brethren and find out what Nihilon has done – as the PHC, your only concern is neutralizing both threats entirely. Which battle will you fight?

Four brand new maps are included in the Inception DLC, each with its own set of unique features perfect for facing down hordes of computer AI adversaries or going head-to-head with friends online:

• Oneiros: Wage war with up to 7 players on this unusual planet. With a strong central starting position, resource-rich but vulnerable north and south positions, and four isolated corner starts, this map is great for a tight free-for-all match.
• Bayern: This symmetrical Terran map supports up to 3 players. Each starting location is vulnerable from one direction and the massive metal deposits in the middle of the map are enough to lure even your toughest turtler out of isolation.
• Brasil: This large 10 player ice map challenges you to defend your starting area while you try to make your way to the astoundingly rich central valley without falling victim to your opponent’s attacks.
• Polska: Up to 5 players can brawl on this desert map with strategically critical hills that command the passages between regions.

The Ashes of the Singularity: Escalation Inception DLC is available for only £1.99 ($2.99 USD/$3.29 CAD) which is considerably affordable compared to most other DLCs in the market.
