New build! https://wiki.arcengames.com/index.php?title=AI_War_2:The_Final_Cycle#4.017_Feeling_Helpful If you have NPC allies, they are now notably more helpful when coming to your aid as of this version. Thanks to Badger on this! There are also some notable balance adjustments to a lot of the speed-boosting structures, and to the speed caps on units. Similarly, some power generation rebalance for…
New build! https://wiki.arcengames.com/index.php?title=AI_War_2:The_Final_Cycle#4.016_Necromantic_Polish Lots of quality of life polish and various final balance tunings for the Necromancer, the major new player type coming in DLC3. If you’d like to see more of what’s coming with this new faction, a new video from Strategic Sage has dropped today on that very subject:
New build! https://wiki.arcengames.com/index.php?title=AI_War_2:The_Final_Cycle#4.015_The_Thrifty_Architrave A variety of bugfixes in this one, including one where the Zenith Architrave were so… thrift conscious… that they weren’t buying anything in the prior build. Some solid necromancer polish in this build as well, as we close in on the DLC3 release date and more folks getting to play with it.…
New build! https://wiki.arcengames.com/index.php?title=AI_War_2:The_Final_Cycle#4.014_The_Intimidating_Architrave All of the art for both DLC2 and DLC3 is finally now done, along with the many various upgrades that were made to the art in the base game and in DLC1. This is a big milestone! Thanks to everyone for their patience with the DLC2 art delays in particular, that really…
Hotfix build! https://wiki.arcengames.com/index.php?title=AI_War_2:The_Final_Cycle#4.013_Hotfixes Mostly this just fixes some bugs that could get up in your face in the prior build when you started the game or were in the lobby. It also fixes a couple of other less-important bugs while I was at it. This one also makes a shift to Expert mode, on the…
New build! https://wiki.arcengames.com/index.php?title=AI_War_2:The_Final_Cycle#4.012_The_Zeusathon This one has an absolute ton of balance tuning from Zeus, in both DLC2 and DLC3. Badger also made a number of improvements to the Zenith Architrave, to make them work better in certain edge cases, as well as get more of their cool toys that they were missing. He also fixed…
New build! https://wiki.arcengames.com/index.php?title=AI_War_2:The_Final_Cycle#4.011_Multiplayer_Stability This one is almost entirely bugfixes, and not just for multiplayer. There are a few balance tweaks and a few quality of life improvements, as well. The most notable multiplayer issues of the last half month are now fixed, and the question of wave warnings being delayed is now the main thing…
New build! https://wiki.arcengames.com/index.php?title=AI_War_2:The_Final_Cycle#4.010_Iconucopia This one has a huge number of bugfixes and balance tweaks, thanks to a really great sprint by Badger, Daniexpert, Zeus, and CRCGamer, with some additional fixes by NR SirLimbo. Essentially all the major things (MP aside) that have been reported recently that I haven’t had time to work on because of…
New build! https://wiki.arcengames.com/index.php?title=AI_War_2:The_Final_Cycle#4.009_Architrave_Taming This one slows down the rate at which the Zenith Architrave can rebuild when you are harassing them, and has a number of DLC1 spire balance updates as well. There is also a fair bit of DLC3 balance tuning, and a whole bunch of new DLC3 art is now in place. The…
New build! https://wiki.arcengames.com/index.php?title=AI_War_2:The_Final_Cycle#4.008_Exogalactic_Wayfinding This one fixes a bug where exogalactic war units would sometimes chase the wrong target (sometimes you), which was particularly damaging in really high-faction-count games. Thanks to a variety of folks for the reports, and to Badger for figuring that one out. This one also has a huge amount of balance changes…
