New beta build! https://wiki.arcengames.com/index.php?title=AI_War_2:Multiplayer_Alpha_And_Beta#Beta_2.747_Outguard_Usability 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. Okay, so first up some news. The release date for DLC2, The Zenith Onslaught, is being moved back about 3 weeks, to April 15th instead of March 23rd. Really sorry about that, but I've been trying to get as much of the base game in great shape as possible, and with all the changes on the beta branch and the related workload it has set me behind. I know that this has been a long string of endless delays, and a lot of folks are understandably frustrated with me about that, and I really do apologize. Further, I understand that some of the things I've been working on lately really don't feel like they are advancing the goal of getting you DLC2 on time. There have been a lot of digressions and a lot of extra polish rather than focusing on the meat. I used my best judgement in those cases, but I understand that some folks very vocally disagree with the choices I've made there. That's okay. I don't have any hard feelings about it on this end, although that is hard to hear. I try to use my best judgement and make the most people the happiest I can in general, but that doesn't always work out. In the coming few weeks, until I get the DLC2 features fixed up, I'm essentially going to only be working on anything that's absolutely critical outside of that. I can't really afford another delay in this endless sense, and it's not fair to the various other people who have put in a lot of work on this project. So if you have minor bugs or balance requests in the next few weeks, I hope you'll forgive me setting those aside for a bit. This new build makes Outguard feel nice. I thought that was relevant. It also makes the Warden less scary for 20 minutes. Thank you all for your support.
