New AI War 2 build: https://wiki.arcengames.com/index.php?title=AI_War_2:Post_Completion_Part_II#5.608_Scourge_Infused_Empire This one has a bugfix to the experimental stacking algorithm, and then a host of mod updates from Badger. The sidekicks mod has gotten a number of balance updates and minor new features, and then one large new feature -- the "Scourge Infused Empire." This is a regular human empire like you are used to, but comes with a vassal Scourge faction under it. This vassal faction is less independent in some ways than the regular Scourge as allies, and the vassal version allows for you to do construction and technology choices for them directly. Enjoy! In other news, the heart of the machine demo is still available, and playtesting applications are also still open. There's a large UI overhaul going on right now, which isn't available in the demo yet, but will be in a few weeks. https://store.steampowered.com/app/2001070/Heart_of_the_Machine/ If you want to try those things sooner than later, and also see past where the demo currently ends and help provide feedback and bug reports prior to the game launching later this year, then do be sure to sign up for the playtest! We have over 200 folks participating at the moment, but are always wanting more. Just fill out this form: https://forms.gle/sYj9hH3Bh2TJ2Hbx5 And then make sure you're a member of our discord: https://discord.gg/arcengames Some folks did the form without joining the discord, and they don't wind up getting a key.

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.
