Plymouth, MI. –
June 20, 2016 – Stardock and Mohawk Games released the new Map Toolkit DLC for Offworld Trading

Trading Company, “but we also wanted to give players some maps of real Mars locations, just to get them
started.”
The Map Editor allows players to explore plenty of different options when creating a map. From
larger design details such as creating deep canyons or huge plateaus, all the way down to the finer details of where resources
can be found and how abundant they are, players will be able to create a unique map that they can then share with others.
Offworld Trading Company is a new direction for real-time strategy where money is both your
deadliest weapon and your toughest defense. With a campaign, skirmishes, and daily challenges, players can enjoy a game by
themselves at their leisure. If they want to connect with their friends online, the multiplayer mode can host up to eight
people for a knock-down, drag-out economic brawl, or they can join in ranked ladder games to see who the world’s best
businessman or woman really is.
