The second content update for Taur is now live.
This update introduces 7 new enemy units: A large dropship unit, a gunship unit and 5 different types of heavy infantry units, each with their own unique specialization and equipment.
Also added are 10 new maps in 2 new biomes: Lunar and Space. These maps have low to no gravity, making infantry knock-down effects especially deadly.
