The Latest prerelease is now out:
http://www.arcengames.com/share/AIWar1013J.zipThat version is an upgrade from version 1.012, so you have to already have 1.012 (or greater) installed. Just unzip it into your game folder (usually C:\Program Files\Arcen Games\AI War\ unless you specified something else). Please make sure that your unzip process keeps the folder structure from the zip file, rather than just unpacking all of the files into the base target directory.
What's new since 1.013H:
(Cumulative release notes since 1.012 are attached at the bottom)
-------------------
-Ion cannons now fire 4X faster, and have 4 simultaneous shots instead of just one, which makes flooding them with low-level ships vastly much harder.
-Shots should now more quickly die when their target leaves the current planet.
-The sound effect files are now all stored in the ogg format, which saves space and paves the way for doing more improvements to the sound effects without making huge updates for players.
-The background nebula images are now blended even better than before, and a few more images are used in order to make the effects even more dramatic.
-The background stars/nebulas are now rendered in a larger area that scrolls slightly as the camera pans around. This gives a much better impression of movement for players. There is also now a slight zoom factor to the background stars/nebulas, to make the whole appearance look more dynamic.
-Several fixes to the third basic tutorial.
CHANGES FROM PAST PRERELEASES
--------------
-Previously, when switching between planets on the galaxy map, the galaxy map stars would change. Fixed.
-New starfield images (these are not necessarily final).
