Beta 2.764 Command Station HotfixNew beta build! https://wiki.arcengames.com/index.php?title=AI_War_2:Multiplayer_Alpha_And_Beta#Beta_2.764_Command_Station_Hotfix
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 is a pretty key hotfix, since the last build wound up being unplayable thanks to you not being able to build command stations. Sorry about that!
This also reimagines the X map to be way more interesting, courtesy of Badger, and it prevents it from being a crazy unbalanced and unfun map compared to all the other varieties.
There's also a buff to the number of forcefields that economic and military command stations get. Thanks to ArnaudB for getting that sorted, and more is coming later.
Additionally, there was a pretty funky bug that was either extremely old or relatively new, and which caused issues based on you being able to accidentally give clicks to do... various things, to be honest... through the left-hand sidebar. These clicks were potentially the longstanding reason why occasionally some folks would see their ships "randomly" go to the upper left of the gravity well, seemingly of their own accord -- it was probably actually a player click on the GUI getting translated to that in a funky way. Anyhow, I haven't heard much about that issue in a lot of months, but there was a new rash of the same sort of problem when placing command stations, so hopefully this just fixes all of what we were seeing.
Knock on wood, this should now be nice and stable for the weekend.
Enjoy!
[ 2021-03-26 19:58:50 CET ] [ Original post ] 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.
