New build! Second one of the day: https://wiki.arcengames.com/index.php?title=AI_War_2:Finalizing_Multiplayer#3.202_General_Bugfixing (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 one is not super exciting, unless you were impacted by one of the bugs this one fixes. That said, these are some juicy fixes, so YMMV - Fixed a multiplayer exception that was happening trying to bust ghosts. Those darn ghosts again! - (Not a bug, but) Humanity Ascendant now defaults to using all uniform gravity wells the same size as they always have been. It only starts introducing variant grav well sizes in Challenger mode, but you can change your preferences from the defaults in any of the modes. - Beam weapon math has been adjusted and fixed in a variety of places. The spire ships will no longer miss their primary target at the end of a coilbeam, as one resulting improvement from this. - Distributed economy mode wasn't working properly after saving and then reloading. Now it does. - A variety of tooltips in the lobby were missing last build, but are back now. - A complicated fix to an edge case when you're ordering units around on the galaxy map. There was a situation where they would ignore your orders if you told them to leave a planet and then "no wait stay after all" by clicking the planet. Now they listen properly. More to come soon. 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.
