Dear Martian athletes! It is time to compete in the Marsolympics and show Earth which planet has the most talented and fittest population!

Marsolympics

In this free update we’ve added a new event in which you’ll have the option to organize the Marsolympics. If you do so, you must train more athletes than Earth will send in order to keep the majority of the gold medals on the Red Planet. Winning the Marsolympics will result in a global comfort of living increase until the next Marsolympics while losing will result in a global comfort of living decrease until the next Marsolympics. New Marsolympics editions will be held every 8 turns and allow both planets a chance at prolongation or revanche!


New Marsolympics event.

This event will trigger in the first 3 games you play and has an increased chance of triggering during the Olympic Games period.

Custom Mode

As many of you requested, we’ve also added all the scenario goals to the custom mode. You can now freely choose any goal that you want to pursue. The custom goals can also be set higher than the final scenario goals. So you are now free to make any combination of goal, expectation, and environment difficulty you like.


New goals in custom mode.

3 new projects

We’ve also added 3 new projects: the Airport, the Blimp station and the Airborne Wind Turbine. While I’ll let you discover their exact details for yourself in the game, I will spoil that they all interact with the Atmospheric density of the planet :).
