New beta build! https://wiki.arcengames.com/index.php?title=AI_War_2:Multiplayer_Alpha_And_Beta#Beta_2.724_Mod_Bonanza You need to use the current_beta branch on Steam or GOG to play this one. If you have trouble with it, there is a most_recent_stable_beta, now, too. This one fixes a bug in the prior version that was preventing AI Reserves from sending ships against you, and also changes up how the AI sends waves against other factions (basically they go straight Hunter now). This new version also includes a ton of updates to our settings menu to make things more easy to find, and organize all sorts of categories of options so that you can actually focus in on specific items that otherwise were just kind of lost in an overwhelming soup of words. Like that sentence! We also introduced explicit mod prerequisites, so that mods can define both what expansions and what other mods they require. When you enable such a mod, it now does its best to enable any other mods it depends on without you having to worry about it. Since we have a "modder framework" mod in place by NR SirLimbo, this makes it easier for other modders to use that without it confusing players. The mods themselves now are visually broken out into their own tab, and into their own categories (normal, cosmetic, and framework). This new build includes three new cosmetic mods by ArnaudB, all of which are actually balance adjustments (but which don't break savegames to be turned on or off). There's also another new mod, this one by CRZgatecrusher, called The Reprocessers. This is a new faction by the same name that organizes attacks, then does research, builds, has a lifecycle, and replicates.

AI War II is a grand strategic RTS against an overwhelming, inhuman enemy who has conquered the galaxy. The enemy has made only a single error: underestimating you.

You must steal as much technology as you can, and take enough territory to fortify your bases and launch your attacks. But every conquest you make turns the attention of the AI ever more in your direction... so choose your targets with care.

It's "a sequel to [Arcen's] enormo-space RTS AI War, which we called'one of this year's finest strategy games' back in 2009" (Tom Sykes, PC Gamer)

What's New?

We still have a lot of work to do on the game, and we're undergoing some major work with our beta testers before heading to Early Access, but a lot is already awesome:

The game is crazy moddable.
It's multithreaded to take full use of modern computers.
The new 3D graphics are working out great.
The UI has already been dramatically improved by the introduction of a tabbed sidebar in the main view, and streamlining of several other mechanics that felt very difficult in the past. More to come, there.
We’ve got art for over 130 distinct units (not counting different mark levels), and there's more to come.
We’ve got over 1500 lines of spoken dialogue from more than 25 actors, focusing primarily on the human side at the moment; we have a few hundred lines of AI-side taunts and chatter, some of which is recorded but just not processed yet.
There are hundreds of high quality sound effects for a varied battlefield soundscape (with distance attenuation if you’re far away, and positional 3D audio if you’re down in the thick of it), all routed through a tuned mixer setup for optimal listening to all the various parts.
We have a set of music from Classic that is over four and a half hours long, and the new music from Pablo is partly in, but mostly set to be mastered and integrated within the next week or two.
There’s also a ton of map types, many of them new, and with a lot of sub-options to make them even more varied.
And a whole lot more.
