The Reinforcements DLC for Sins of a Solar Empire II that Stardock announced earlier this month is now ready for launch. This latest premium add-on is only the second piece of DLC to hit the game since the Paths to Power scenario pack, and it adds on brand-new ships as well as faction-specific win conditions for the endgame. Check out the launch trailer for the DLC above.
Per the developer, the new Command Ships sit between Capital Ships and Titans when it comes to their versatility. When deployed inside late-game fleets, Command Ships will be able to offer "devastating firepower, unique abilities, and strategic utility."
Stardock describes each of the new Command Ships like this:
- TEC Enclave – Takadaran Command Fortress: A massive support platform doubling as a mobile cruiser-scale shipyard, capable of producing TEC cruisers in the field.
- TEC Primacy – Khevarkov Modular Battleship: A high-speed strike vessel with customizable hardpoints for railguns, missiles, or hangar bays.
- Vasari Alliance – Sularkon Tyrant: A city-ship fortress with integrated Phase Gate, designed to lock down entire sectors.
- Vasari Exodus – Anarkrul Wanderer: A colossal refugee-carrier turned warship, bristling with defenses and heavy strikecraft support.
- Advent Wrath – Oblivia Dreadnought: A heavily armored frontline warship wielding a devastating Super Heavy PsiKinetic Lance.
- Advent Reborn – Justicia Dreadnought: A vertical dreadnought that grows deadlier as allies fall, culminating in catastrophic retaliation.
The new win conditions are The Departure, Mass Conversion, and Super Novalith Offensive. To start, the Vasari have to build Arkships to escape the sector through a star. As for Advent players, they must deploy a mass conversion wave using planetary structures to turn more star systems into loyal territory. Lastly, the Trader Emergency Coalition has to build a Novalith cannon that can destroy entire planets to forcefully bring peace throughout systems for their unique win.
Sins of a Solar Empire II Reinforcements DLC is now available across Steam and Epic Games Store with a $14.99 standalone price tag. Owners of the game"s Premium Edition or the Content Pass will gain access to the DLC for no extra charge. Following this, coming up next in the DLC content plan are the Harbinger and Times of War expansions.
