Gameplay Changes And Adittions[]
- Henchmen Lab Morale - Henchmen now do more damage to other henchmen when in sight of their lab. This enables players to repel "Henchmen Rushes" early in the game.
- Artillery and direct range units had an increase in coal cost (approx 10% increase). This brings Artillery and Direct-Range units closer in line, power-wise, with their intended roles in the counter system and with melee creatures.
- Henchmen now do slightly more damage vs. creatures, permitting a slightly better chance of survival against early rushes.
- Pure swimming units are now significantly less coal. Previously there was no real reason for a creature to be a pure swimmer rather than amphibious- the only difference in cost was the minor cost of the added limbs. Now, players can specialize their forces for water-heavy maps and make large masses of creatures to rule the seas for a fraction of the cost of their land-walking counterparts, lending more tactical variety to water maps.
- Updated Main Menu screen with a MOD selection feature. Download Insect Invasion and try out the new creatures, maps, abilities, and tactical elements. There is a new Campaign menu that makes it easy to play user created campaigns.
Multiplayer Map Pack[]
Relic Entertainment has released its first official Multiplayer Map Pack for Impossible Creatures.
Please Note: You will need to ensure that you have installed the Impossible Creatures Update v1.1 in order to play these maps online with other players. In addition, there is no Microsoft Product Support available for the use or installation of these maps.
Maps included[]
Double Twisted Bill, the lone user-made map in the pack, is credited to Bill Brooks (aka Zoltron_Bill), an incredibly active member of the Impossible Creatures community and a very talented map maker.

IC Online[]
It was a sad day for those of us in the impossible creatures community who slowly wacthed the IC servers die, eventualy they were shut down entirely, but one IC fan by the username of dengus has created a solution, all you have to do is start the game with this and log in to IC online, so you can show off all the cool new DLC you have, maybe youll even make a mod and add to the IC community?
