This one is another heap of polish as we near the 7.0/VotM official release. Zenith Hydras, one of the new VotM ships, were significantly reworked. Before they were a solid combat ship, but ultimately not very interesting. Now they spawn extra heads (as separate ships) after taking a certain amount of damage. The heads are…
This one is a relatively small release but it addresses one of our longest-standing player requests: automated map untangling! If you’ve ever seen the Vines, Spokes, or Tree map types you’ve probably noticed that it’s pretty hard to read them. There tend to be a lot of planets connected to planets on the other side…
This one addresses several things but mainly reworks the new expansion’s Core Turret Controllers to better achieve their goal: easier distributed defense, and being more of a benefit to distributed defense than chokepoints (not trying to nerf the latter, just trying to not buff them much either). Basically, the core turrets you can build with…
AI War: Fleet Command recently celebrated the fourth anniversary of its official 1.0 release. Its official 7.0 release comes later this month. It’s been a long, awesome haul and we’re still going strong! But the AI’s gotten kind of upset. You might say Stark Raving Mad. Well, maybe not raving, it’s really a pretty cool…
This one is a whole big pile of polish for 7.0 and the VotM expansion. Some highlights: – Working with the ship design screen should be easier with shift-click support for copying a module from one slot to one or more others, and the logic to auto-upgrade your champion designs when you unlock a higher-mark…
This one contains the last new content for the expansion (the two new “Brutal-pick” Core Guard Posts) and starts the polish-phase for the expansion and 7.0 in earnest. The two new Brutal Core Guard posts are the Shredder and the Hunter-Killer Factory. C’mon, H/K, say hi to the audience. … guess not. Anyway. The main…
This one adds the expansion’s 3 non-brutal core guard post types. An AI Homeworld gets about 8 core posts in general, and picks a few (from 0 to 3, depending on difficulty and sometimes a little randomness) from the “brutal” list like Core Raid Engine and Core Wrath Lance, and the rest from this entirely…
This one is relatively small but contains the last new bonus ship type of the expansion, a few important changes to Showdown Devices, and a few less-important-but-still-nice other changes. That last bonus ship type is the “Neinzul Combat Carrier”, which is a light combatant starship that can also build any youngling types you have unlocked.…
This one introduces Dire Guardians to the alpha players of the upcoming Vengeance of the Machine expansion. This won’t hurt a bit, really. Remember, if you’re interested in alpha testing for the expansion, please shoot me a PM in the forums. This release also adds the fifth of six new bonus ship types planned for…
This one includes another big chunk of content for the upcoming Vengeance of the Machine expansion. We’ve already got quite a few alpha testers smashing at it, but it would benefit from more so if you’re interested in alpha testing for the expansion, please shoot me (username is keith.lamothe) a PM in the forums. Anyway,…
