New beta build! https://wiki.arcengames.com/index.php?title=AI_War_2:Multiplayer_Alpha_And_Beta#Beta_2.775_Prepare_For_Beta_Exit 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 is just some polish and balance tweaks, focused on trying not to rock the boat while cleaning up last things before we exit beta. We've been on a beta branch for almost three months now, which is an INSANELY long period of time, but a lot of great things happened during it, and it's time for this to head back to stable soon. Unless something dire happens, that will happen on Wednesday the 14th. Most of my personal time right now is going into work on art for DLC2, which you can watch and comment on the process of here: https://discordapp.com/channels/240637654717300736/825178033500848149/831306561489993791 Rather than doing a stream (which I did last week, and will do again at some point), I've been focusing on just writing up what I'm doing and posting frequent images in progress. Makes it easy to give feedback, and gives you just the bullet points of the process. Things are looking pretty smooth right now, so fingers crossed. This does NOT mean multiplayer will be out of beta -- that needs another month or so in the cooker, but please do test in the meantime. All in all, I'm quite pleased with how things are coming along, and really excited for folks who have been on the stable branch to see the many gargantuan new beta updates. Enjoy!

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.
