AI War Beta 5.030, "Refined Hacking," Released!
« on: March 14, 2012, 09:36:56 pm »
Original: http://arcengames.blogspot.com/2012/03/ai-war-beta-5030-refined-hacking.html

This one is basically "just" a laundry list of fixes, tweaks, and balance adjustments that you folks asked for.  Not really any new features, and no single item jumps out above all the rest, but there's a lot of solid refinement here that I know people have been waiting for.

Sorry for the delay on that -- with AVWW's 1.0 coming up, and the need to both finish it and document it, plus it being tax season here, plus the general cyclical business stuff like payroll and so on, it's been kind of a hectic week.  Keith had all this stuff ready to go on Sunday, but I've just not had a spare moment until today.

But now it's out -- enjoy!

This is a standard update that you can download through the in-game updater itself, if you already have 4.000 or later. When you launch the game, you'll see the notice of the update having been found if you're connected to the Internet at the time.  If you don't have 4.000 or later, you can download that here.

Great work guys, thanks for the continuing polish. AI War seems to be at a pretty darn stable state right now. Great time to focus on AVWW.

Honestly, probably too many for you to actually read through. It would probably be faster just to play the game and see each change as you run into it. That's what I did after taking about a year long break from the game, and it worked out rather well.

Wow, you guys are awesome.  Hacking has added a very cool new element to the game.  I only wish the 'warning'  display was not so verbose.  It would be nice as a letter beside AI Progress with a tool-tip.  Good luck with the AVWW release.

awesome update ^^ a lot of stuff that I've been waiting for =)

''The "spawn raid starships" wild-roll no longer creates "zombie" raid starships that blindly agress upon whatever humans are in vision, but rather non-zombies that are coordinated like an exo and go charging after some juicy human target.
Thanks to GUDare for the suggestion; please direct your rotten fruit in his direction''.

this made me laugh :D

Nice job guys, we really like the way you do business. This is how you build consumer loyalty.  ;D

Even though I'm not sure AVWW is really my cup of tea, I'll be picking it up once I'm sure I can link it to steam.

AVWW works with Steam if you add it, if that's what you mean.

I can already tell this is going to be a roller coaster ride of disappointment.

I'm very skeered.  Don't pelt me with tomatoes.  Use potatoes.  I like those and they'll survive the throwing.  I can eat later. :)

indeed, lot of good stuff in there already. The harvester upgrade changes will significantly impact my games in a beneficial way (since I never use econs and always upgrade my harvesters).
