“Tidalis is, in short, stunning. It’s one of the most complex, yet easy to learn, games we have ever played. Just when you think you know everything, new blocks and modes are given to you to toy with, leading to tons of replayability. We would, in fact, say that this is one of the best…
Good news! As of August 31st, 2010, we have so far raised and donated $586.32 for the Child’s Play charity via sales of our Children of Neinzul micro-expansion for AI War — and that’s just with preorders! We look to be well on our way to hitting our goal of $14,000.00 for the year at…
“I can say with some authority that Tidalis stands apart… The bottom line is that Tidalis is a flexible, smart, refreshingly unique puzzle design, and it’s situated neatly into a large generous package.

Once again, with this release it’s mostly a lot of little things rather than…
The full release notes are on the Arcen forums. This release is basically dozens of little tweaks and bugfixes, rather than any particularly huge new features. However, that said, some of these smaller effects will have a pretty enormous effect on advanced play (as with most small tweaks in any strategy game). The first of…
For quite some time, Arcen Games has been committed to adding fan suggestions to AI War via general suggestions and our Community DLC poll in the AI War forums.
