New build! https://wiki.arcengames.com/index.php?title=AI_War_2:Finalizing_Multiplayer#2.909_The_Hunt_Intensifies (Reminder that if you have trouble with the build, you can always go into betas and choose most_recent_stable to go one build back. This is how I sleep at night after making some major changes.) Okay, another "wow a lot of stuff" build for you. First up, the hunter (and some other factions that use fireteams) have gotten way smarter thanks to Badger (after commentary by Strategic Sage). Also they happened to get way more efficient on the background threads when he did that work, too, so double bonus. There's a whole new graphical subsystem in place that I've added, which allows for particle effects and all sorts of crazy things, and I'm already putting that to use in the base game as well as DLC2. You'll notice that AI Warp Gates and similar now look way cooler. Lots of bugs were fixed, and in terms of multiplayer I did a huge "code hardening" pass to preemptively deal with a lot of potential issues there. This doesn't deal with the "client explodes every 8 seconds" bug, but I plan to hit that before the end of Monday. This other set of fixes took about 6 hours today and was also pretty important. DLC2 got various new features, like the ability to steer crashing nomads into targets of your choice. Lots of balance and updated quickstarts, too. Another new cruiser that you can hack for, this time from alien sources rather than human. Also the AMU mod (and thus Kaizer's Marauders) now has its serialization fixed, so no more broken savegames involving that mod. Thanks to NR SirLimbo for being on top of that. 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.
