5.614 Classic Fusion Returns

New build! https://wiki.arcengames.com/index.php?title=AI_War_2:Post_Completion_Part_II#5.614_Classic_Fusion_Returns

This one gets Classic Fusion working again. That's a total conversion mod that makes this game function like a hybrid of AI War 1 and 2. Some other mod updates had broken this one, and it's been broken for a while, but now it's back. Big thanks to Badger for getting the code in place for those fixes, and to Puffin for recompiling it.

Badger's Sidekicks mod has a variety of cool updates in this one, including various balance and bugfix updates to the new features in the prior build. This includes improvements to the Dark Zenith Empire, which remains such a cool new way to experience the game.

In other news! Heart of the Machine is coming to early access on January 31st. Be sure to wishlist it to hear about updates! It is seriously huge for launch, and I'm excited to explore it more with you during EA: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2001070/Heart_of_the_Machine/

Also the demo is updated recently, and there's a new trailer. The language translations are increasingly excellent in the demo, but still have another week or so of going through LQA.

5.613 Dark Zenith Empire

New build with updates to the sidekicks mod. Full release notes: https://wiki.arcengames.com/index.php?title=AI_War_2:Post_Completion_Part_II#5.613_Dark_Zenith_Empire

If you haven't tried the Sidekicks mod, it's really worth a go -- more each build. It's by one of the main developers of the game itself, so as far as mods go... well, it's practically like a fourth expansion, but for free. I take no credit for any of that, it's all Badger and what he's wanted for his own multiplayer sessions.

This particular build adds a full "Dark Zenith Empire" option, alongside the sidekick version of the same idea. You've played as the spire, but have you ever played as the Zenith? It's worth noting that the developer behind this mod is literally the same person who developed out the Zenith factions for the main game, so this is... prime stuff. Seriously, more people need to play it!

There's also an updated trailer for the game, AND a fully updated demo with new content, a complete ui overhaul, and a ton of other goodies.

5.612 More Sidekicks Mod Updates

Fairly small update, with just changes to the very-cool Sidekicks mod. As I've mentioned a few times, it's by one of the main developers of the game, and at this point rivals the size of a DLC -- for free. So if you haven't given it a try, and are interested in some morecontent, it's really worth a look.
