![]() Rangers are mid-range units with durability, medium armor and do not take extra damage from melee attacks.Army units are Space Marine troops who form a squad of three:.Uniquely, at the touch of a button, the unit can go through a short animation, and transform into another variant If part of a squad is destroyed, they can regenerate their lost units, but a whole squad being destroyed means that the unit is permanently lost. Each squad type comes with three variants, each with their own advantages and disadvantages. There are three classes of squad units: Army, Empyrean, and Mechs. These can be used to capture objectives and bases, the latter of which will provide a squad spawning area and also produce Etherium which is vital for buying squads and towers. To aid the Space Marines in their goal, the player controls their Hero Unit with unique abilities, as well as a few squads. It was first released on mobile platforms in September 2017, and then on PC on May 15th, 2019. It's set in a sci-fi galaxy, where the player controls their Space Marine Hero Unit, summons squads, captures objectives and destroys enemies around the map. The first two are looking pretty comfortable at this price and FMG will hope to further reduce its costs in order to make a decent return at current price levels.When the going gets tough, the tough call the IRON MARINES! Iron Marines is a Real-Time Strategy game developed by Ironhide Game Studio, the same studio that brought to us Kingdom Rush. UBS' Glyn Lawcock has just released a useful update on the price iron ore (62 per cent Fe which is the one traditionally used) needs to be for companies to hit cash break-even.įor Rio (best in show) it is US$45, BHP needs an iron ore price of US$50 and Fortescue needs a price of US$74. ![]() The interest from these private equity groups and other funds set up to invest in mining assets generally - like that formed up by former Xstrata boss Mick Davis - are scouring Australia, the UK and Canada in particular. ![]() BHP Billition and Rio are clear examples. He says that private equity players that have traditionally not stepped into the mineral resources space are now assessing whether there are opportunities stemming from the fallout from the financially wounded or the asset sales from the bigger mining stocks that are looking to focus their core portfolios. New York-based financier Edward Sugar - a man who helped Fortescue find finance in its early days and who was in Australia last week - suggested there were billions of dollars waiting in the wings looking for resources projects. BC Iron recently made a $250 million bid for Kerry Stokes' iron ore play, Iron Ore Holdings.Įarlier in the year the Chinese group Baosteel moved into the market in a joint bid with rail infrastructure group, Aurizon for Aquila Resources. There may be some consolidation between the smaller players - and how this pans out depends on which have cash. How the industry shakes out from here depends on which of the smaller players are attractive to those looking for a cheap entry and the agenda of the buyers. It was the iron ore plaything of hotel billionaire Bruce Mathieson, and had plenty of high-profile directors on the board - with loads of experience across business. Western Desert Resources, a company unknown to most, became the canary in the coal mine last week when it had receivers appointed to it. How much longer can they last and is this the start of a wave of consolidation? The immediate focus for the Australian iron ore industry has been the health of the smaller mining companies with cash costs close or in excess of the current iron ore prices. While we can't blame everything on oversupply, given there are seasonal demand factors from the Chinese customers that come into play - the latest of which is that country's weak property market - the fact remains that the Australian producers in particular have been pumping out enormous volumes of iron ore into the seaborn market. To date the large mining companies in Australia have been able to offset last year's lower commodity prices for iron ore and coal by undertaking major cost cutting drives and efficiency initiatives.īut if prices continue to fall and much of the low hanging fruit has been harvested, revenues and profits will be under pressure. It has major ramifications for the country's exports and governments' tax revenue and thus the broader economy. The ripple effect of the continuing fall of the iron ore price is an issue that is now becoming mainstream.
