AI War 2 News

Turns out the prior version had some issues loading for people without existing settings file. Apologies about that, it's solved now.

There were a couple of small errors in the build from earlier today, those are fixed now.

New AI War 2 build! https://wiki.arcengames.com/index.php?title=AI_War_2:Post_Completion_Part_II#5.572_Polish_And_Reduced_Memory_Pressure

Twenty-two days since the last one, wow. Time really flies sometiems.

This one has a bunch of things to polish up the game in various ways, and reduce memory turnover and memory usage in certain late-game situations. Also some bugfixes that help some specific crazy savegames. If you're playing certain absurdly-huge games that were getting too high in RAM usage and losing performance because of it, it should be notably better now. For most folks it won't be noticeable, but it's great to keep those edge cases in check.

The list of other relatively small things that are fixed are really long, and worth a look in the release notes. This includes fixes to a number of different mods, as well as the base game. Big props to Dimiss for the big majority of that, and RadiantPhoenix for the rest.

Enjoy!

New AI WAr 2 build! https://wiki.arcengames.com/index.php?title=AI_War_2:Post_Completion_Part_II#5.570_Petawatt

This one is absolutely enormous, in terms of the number of fixes and tweaks in it. It also has a bunch of mod content!

Dismiss has been going through and painstakingly fixing all of the regressions from the last few months, as well as adding new QoL features for players, and fixing various much-older bugs that just never got much attention, as well. The work here is seriously impressive. Hope everyone enjoys, the notes are quite long.

Radiant Fleets is a new mod, which has a bunch of new fleet options and even some new ark options for various factions.

Lost Spire Coilbeam is another new mod, which kits out the lost spire frigates with coilbeams like their bigger brethren.

Playable Flenser is an interesting mod that seems to be mostly for humor/fun, but basically you get your own flenser from the start of the game (the highest-tier possible AI Exo War unit, for reference; aka the "asterisk of doom"), and then can upgrade it, etc. You do have to power it, though, and it requires a petawatt... so good luck with that I guess. It's certainly a fun concept for a mod.

The Sidekicks mod has some balance adjustments and bugfixes, and there are also some fixes to Classic Fusion and other mods.

Enjoy!

Lots of fixes in this one, to a wide variety of things. Some fixes to regressions from the recent past, and others from further back.

Also several updates to mods, and a new mod related to the color picker window.

Enjoy!
