New build! https://wiki.arcengames.com/index.php?title=AI_War_2:The_Great_Refactor#Beta_3.769_Neinzul_Custodians_And_Total_Conversions Let’s start with a question: aside from multiplayer, if you’re in the beta branch, are you seeing anything that would prevent us from merging back with the main branch? Because I’ve finished all the todo items off my list for single-player. I have another day or day and a half of multiplayer…
DetailsNew build! https://wiki.arcengames.com/index.php?title=AI_War_2:The_Great_Refactor#Beta_3.768_Ironman_And_Doomsday This one has a lot in it! First of all, lots of bugfixes and performance improvements, getting us closer to being out of the beta branch. Hopefully next week, knock on wood! Perhaps even more exciting, this one adds some new features to the base game and to DLC1: The “ironman mode”…
DetailsNew build! https://wiki.arcengames.com/index.php?title=AI_War_2:The_Great_Refactor#Beta_3.767_Elderling_Sanity We’re suddenly VERY close to being able to come back out of the beta branch! Our remaining todo items for that milestone are here: https://bugtracker.arcengames.com/view.php?id=25884 If you know of any bugs that are important to have fixed before we get off the beta branch, then please do let us know! Comment on…
DetailsNew build! https://wiki.arcengames.com/index.php?title=AI_War_2:The_Great_Refactor#Beta_3.766_The_Red_Harvest This one has a bunch of necromancer and templar and sapper improvements for those testing DLC3, plus many other balance items. For those on the beta branch for pre-DLC3 stuff, this has a number of significant bugfixes, most notably around reloading the xml for switching what your enabled mods and/or expansions are.…
DetailsNew build! https://wiki.arcengames.com/index.php?title=AI_War_2:The_Great_Refactor#Beta_3.765_Easier_Upgrades_And_Necromancer_Surge This one feels fairly game-changing just because of one QOL feature in it, which is that you can upgrade your fleets (and see more details about them) right from the techs tab. Various folks had requested that over the years, and having that in now is really awesome. You can still use…
DetailsNew build! https://wiki.arcengames.com/index.php?title=AI_War_2:The_Great_Refactor#Beta_3.763_Necromancer_Reanimation_And_Refinement This one has a number of bugfixes, and a number of extensions for player types and map generation. It also has some improvements for total conversion mods, which is letting Puffin get a lot further along with his Classic Fusion mod. The necromancer is now nearing completion, pending testing at least. They…
DetailsNew build! https://wiki.arcengames.com/index.php?title=AI_War_2:The_Great_Refactor#Beta_3.762_Expert_Necromancers This one mostly has a lot of work from Badger and Tom from over the weekend, and a lot of it is centered around making the necromancer more balanced and functional. One notable improvement from Tom is that a lot of the build menu is now more moddable, which makes it easier…
DetailsNew beta build! https://wiki.arcengames.com/index.php?title=AI_War_2:The_Great_Refactor#Beta_3.761_Savegame_Safety The biggest takeaway from this one: we’re not going to be intentionally breaking savegames anymore after this version. As has been the case for most of the last 5 years, there’s occasionally a version that corrupts itself or something, but aside from those rare incidents the savegames from now on should…
DetailsNew beta build! https://wiki.arcengames.com/index.php?title=AI_War_2:The_Great_Refactor#Beta_3.760_Chaotic_Maps_And_Ark_Empires This one has been inwork for 12 days now, and it has 9300 words (29 printed pages) of release notes. Uh… enjoy? So what’s happening here, broadly? Well, there’s a lot of bugfixing and quality of life stuff, for sure. Just all, all over the place. This is bringing us a…
DetailsNew build! https://wiki.arcengames.com/index.php?title=AI_War_2:The_Great_Refactor#Beta_3.754_Player_Types This one adds a whole lot, all at once! This paves the way for some MAJOR cool things that we are going to be doing in the near future, and that modders can also do. First of all, there’s a whole new system where modders can now expand the central GameEntityTypeData in…
