3.001 The Onslaught Continues

New build! https://wiki.arcengames.com/index.php?title=AI_War_2:Finalizing_Multiplayer#3.001_The_Onslaught_Continues (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.) This is a "small" one, I guess? In general, we've been really pleased with how few bugs folks have been finding in DLC2 that were really serious. There's a funky issue in general with Mac computers that have a Radeon card (that's a very small selection of Macs), and there's an attempted fix in this build but will probably take one more set of fixes before that's fully done. Macs with Intel or NVIDIA cards all seem fine. Badger upped the intelligence of the hunter yet again, and as a consequence to a lesser degree all other fireteam-based factions, too. Lots of balance tweaks from ArnaudB, and more text fixes by Tzarro. A couple of MP fixes related to DLC2, and some solid tuning to DLC2 based on the new feedback, mostly by Badger and Zeus. I added in some more display options for certain monitor styles, and to disable certain fullscreen visual effects (this is the thing to help with Macs with Radeons), and SirLimbo has some fixes for his mods. More to come soon. We've been taking extra time to talk to people and help with questions and get feedback and so on. Tomorrow I am hoping to do more of a bug blitz on my own part. 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.
