AI War 2 News

New AI War build: https://wiki.arcengames.com/index.php?title=AI_War_2:Post_Completion#5.536_Extended_Sidekicks

Fun thing for AI War 1 fans: The Classic map type will now always have at least one planet with only one wormhole in.

From Badger: The Dyson Sidekick mod is renamed to be the Sidekicks Mod, and the Dark Zenith mod is scrapped since it's folded into the main Sidekicks mod. Lots of updates to this and other related mods. Also added a new Ark Sidekick player type in this mod.

From StarKelp: The Leere mod has gotten a number of updates.

From SirLimbo: Huge rebalance to Extended Ship Variants, a popular mod that adds even more unit types to the game. This hadn't been adjusted since the DLC2 timeframe, and he noted that it really showed. It includes a lot of nerfs and fixes, to make things more balanced in the larger scope of the game.

More to come soon. Enjoy!

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.

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!

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!
