Currently the Psion has 3 tiers (including the starting tier.) You can only choose one ability per tier, so no matter which tree you pick from, all other trees on that tier will be blocked. For example, if you choose Push (pragmatic) at tier 1 you will not be able to choose Mind Sap (malicious) or Enervate (virtuous,) however once you reach the 2nd tier you will be able to choose Lightning (malicious,) Recall (pragmatic,) OR Valiant Strike (virtuous.) The only difference applies when you choose something from either the malicious or virtuous tree. If you do that, it closes all tiers from the opposing tree (like if you choose a virtuous ability, all malicious abilities will be blocked and visa versa.)
If the Psion chooses a lot of malicious abilities and his alignment drops below -50 (type in -alignment to see what your alignment is) he will share victory conditions with the alien. This means that if all humans die and only the alien and Psion remain, the game will end. So technically they wouldn't HAVE to ally at that point, but it would benefit them both if they did.
- Escape pod now properly requires a trajectory to be set from the Comm Tower main computer before it can be launched
- Fixed a bug causing the Laser Pistols' secondary ability to only affect the Psion
- Reduced Mark of Salvation duration and heal amount: Duration is now (3 + Level) seconds, down from (8 + 2*Level); Heal amount is now (8*Level), down from (12*Level)
- Reduced damage of the Psion's Brilliance ability to 1200 from 9000
- Reduced Psion's base Evo gain to 9 per tick (down from 12)
- iamscantyclad
- When the alien overlord dies in Survival mode, it will no longer respawn in the lava
- Fixed an issue causing doors to get stuck closed in certain situations
I'll have to take another look at the names thing again. Thanks for the heads up.
Because the opt-in gate requires the use of banks, there's really nothing I can do for people who have played before that update. There's no way for SC2 to know how many games you've played without there being a bank, and since banks didn't exist before that version... well, I think you get the picture. If there's enough demand I may reduce the gate to 2 or even 1 game, but so far 3 seems appropriate.
Oh, and the location of Ol' Smokey is a closely held sekrit. It's not too hard to find if you poke around though... Of course, its current location is likely to change in the next couple of versions.
-Players are automatically opted out of being selected for alien if they have played fewer than 3 recorded full games (as of the update, all players start with 0 games)
-Dropped players are automatically opted out from alien selection
-Removed track 4 for space concerns (track 5 [Nemesis] is now track 4)
-Added new tracks from the SC2 library (tracks 5-8)
-disable victory turns off the victory condition so you can play alone and check things out. Not sure why you randomly died... O.o
I recommend playing with other people. It's more fun that way anyways. Last I checked it was hovering around page 3, possibly page 4. You can always join the Malum Ruina channel and try to get a game going there.
I realize the popularity system makes finding games difficult, so I started a channel dedicated to finding fellow Malum Ruina players. If you want to play MR, this is your go-to place! (The channel name is "Malum Ruina" for those of you who are a little slow... :P)
Thanks. I'm going to continue supporting this for a little while, so expect a long trail of updates. There will be a new version coming out in about a week, give or take a few days. Massive changes, very exciting :)

If Blizzard increases the max file size for a map I might include new tracks.

Hmm, I'll take a look at it. I'll also comb my triggers and actors for some mistakes. Thanks for possibly pointing me in the right direction.
