AI War 2 – 5.587 Deguardianing

New AI War 2 build! https://wiki.arcengames.com/index.php?title=AI_War_2:Post_Completion_Part_II#5.587_Deguardianing This is a small one that is basically a dewormer but for giant guardian spacecraft. A fix in the prior build to a 5-year-old bug caused massive shifts in balance that were unintended. Fixes are nice, but giant shifts in balance are not; aside from opening the floodgates to…

AI War 2 – 5.585 Sidekick Updates

New AI War 2 build! https://wiki.arcengames.com/index.php?title=AI_War_2:Post_Completion_Part_II#5.585_Sidekick_Updates This is a pretty small one, with mainly updates to the Sidekicks mod, by Badger. This also suppresses an occasional error about memory leaks that is very much a false positive (it usually is indicative of a thread being a bit slow, not an actual memory leak). Rather than…

AI War 2 – 5.582 Tuning

New AI War 2 build! https://wiki.arcengames.com/index.php?title=AI_War_2:Post_Completion_Part_II#5.582_Tuning This has some tweaks and tuning in general, and then updates to a bunch of mods. This also removes a folder called MSBuild, which was only useful to modders, and which was being (erroneously) flagged by Malwarebytes as a trojan. Since this was consistently annoying and alarming a number…

New AI War 2 build! https://wiki.arcengames.com/index.php?title=AI_War_2:Post_Completion_Part_II#5.576_Tooltip_QoL This is another hefty new version. It includes a number of fixes and improvements, some of the fixes rather crucial; there was a regression that was affecting some people’s savegames, and may have been related to my improvements to memory reduction in the game. Dismiss seems to have sorted…
