AI War 6.0 and Ancient Shadows Expansion Materialize on Steam

No word yet, but hopefully quicker than avww by a long shot.

A little late for this, but I realized that this is the closest to a 6.000 official post we are going to get.

I think this is the best major release so far in the Unity engine era. Things feel balanced (there are some hiccups, but far less than most other games I have seen, and nothing that really hampers the overall feel of the game). The mechanics feel well thought out. How the mechanics (including, and especially, the optional ones) interact in amazing ways that also feel well thought out and don't disrupt balance. The AI feels difficult and punishing, but not overly so to the point of hurting fun or being unreasonable (at 6-8 at least, the "balance goal"). No massive, game breaking, "fun breaking" bugs (except maybe those annoying UI bugs, though from what I am gathering, it seems more of them are caused by Wine than by the game itself, so I only have myself to blame ) And the new backgrounds are amazing (though I did turn down the brightness of them some).

All in all. Awesome work!


And that wasn't even covering Ancient Shadows' content.

Hi. I've just recently activated all the ai games on steam.  I have the alien bundle. that activated fine but I'm trying to activate the ancient shadows expansion.  Is this able to be done yet?  I have my email from arcen who I ordered directly from with the key in the email.

Not yet, I'm afriad.  However, you can install the expansion from our site into your Steam AI War folder, and then unlock the expansion using your Arcen key.  Cheers!

Okay, thank you.  I wondered if I could do that.
