5.534 Modular Blasphemy

New AI War 2 build: https://wiki.arcengames.com/index.php?title=AI_War_2:Post_Completion#5.534_Modular_Blasphemy

This one has a new quickstart called The Blasphemous Badger, and it also includes a number of quality of life improvements including the ability to suppress the "spend more module points" prompt. It also includes better/proper stacking for the necromancer, some neinzul wild hives improvements from StarKelp, and various Dyson Sidekick improvements from Badger.

More to come soon. Enjoy!

(Usual reminder: you can wishlist our upcoming title Heart of the Machine, if you want to keep up with it. https://store.steampowered.com/app/2001070/Heart_of_the_Machine/ We'll also be running a closed alpha starting in the next few months, so keep an ear out.)

New AI War 2 build: https://wiki.arcengames.com/index.php?title=AI_War_2:Post_Completion#5.533_Tuning

This one is a lot of small tuning, and some mod adjustments. There are a number of good changes in there, but they're diverse enough that they are hard to sum up. See the full release notes for details.

More to come soon. Enjoy!

5.532 Post Necromancer Victory Text

Happy New Year! New AI War 2 build for you: https://wiki.arcengames.com/index.php?title=AI_War_2:Post_Completion#5.532_Post_Necromancer_Victory_Text

This makes the 7th calendar year with AI War 2 builds in it, goodness.

This build has a variety of improvements from mostly Badger, and a few from Dismiss and Puffin as well.

There is finally separate victory text when you win as the Necromancer, which is pretty awesome. The Dyson Sidekick mod also got this treatment. There's a variety of bugfixes and balance improvements in general, as well as to several mods.

I also upgraded the Shapes library that we use for drawing selection circles, and the hope is that this will solve an issue with stuck selection circles that was occasionally coming up.

More to come soon. Enjoy!

5.530 Malkovich?

New AI War 2 build! https://wiki.arcengames.com/index.php?title=AI_War_2:Post_Completion#5.530_Malkovich.3F

This one fixes a long-running intermittent issue where all of the Dark Zenith planets would be named "Malcovich." When the game runs out of planet names, which shouldn't happen with any reasonable planet name set, it names every further planet that way as a nod to a certain scene in *Being John Malcovich*. However, the DZ planets were sometimes doing this when there were plenty of names left, which was a curiosity. Thanks to Badger for fixing that.

Badger also got in a couple more multiplayer fixes, as well as some improvements to the tooltip clarity as it relates to the Scourge Nemesis.

Puffin has added a huge number of updates to his total conversion "Classic Fusion" mod, which you can read about in the full release notes.

Dismiss has made a number of adjustments to his many mods, and fixed a few areas of tooltip or data confusion in the main game, too.

More to come soon. Enjoy!
