On the last Sunday of every month, the skies will be filled with the deafening roar of Thunder Cannons, the shattering of Ice Cannon shards and the crash of Crossbow bolts hitting their mark. Join us and witness the sheer destruction.

Our two dedicated hosts (HostBot & DwinBot) will continue to host games, so no need to worry about firewalls! They'll also upload battle stats that include units built, units destroyed and all storm power collected.

During the events, we'll gather on Fleet's server (default option) to play as many games as possible. They're all-day events, so feel free to join when it suits you.

15:00 to 23:00 (peak @ 20:00) - CET (Central Europe)
17:00 to 01:00 (peak @ 22:00) - MSK (Moscow)

If the zones are very popular, you may need to wait for existing games to complete for the hosts to return. Try to make 2v2 and 3v3 games or spectate to make best use of them. Share!

We have some more updates for the newest Netstorm 10.82!


Ranked Mode (1v1) for HostBot

HostBot can now support ranked/ladder matches.
Enable this with the rankedon or toggleranked commands.
Disable using rankedoff or toggleranked.
To be declared the winner of the battle, the opponent's temple must be salvaged or destroyed.
You can also win by sacrificing the enemy priest.
These events will now be posted to Discord when they occur in battle.
You can safely draw/ally once the enemy temple is destroyed/salvaged to end the game.


Changes

• Adjusted starting geyser formula which was incorrect due to an error.

Hello there Nimbians!


Disciples Of The Storm, an RTS project led by Nathan Hunt, a game which is the spiritual successor of NetStorm with direct support of the old dev team (the old Titanic Entertainment) needs your help!


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wuEgRcptsms


They have released their project on Kickstarter, and are in a need of backing up their project so that it can be pushed into further development.

It's actually the only NetStorm based game which actually survived until now (most of the old projects died), and also it's the only NetStorm based game which is actually also supported by the original devs and most of the old community of players.

Please, visit the Project Site, tell others to share on their FB and twitter. They are currently at 28k but only have three days to raise remaining funds to make this game possible.

Thank you all who helped.

Join today for a NetStorm Christmass event, Main Server, as announced on FB.
