AI War 1.001 Released (First Full Version, Plus More DLC)

Arcen Games is pleased to announce the release of AI War: Fleet
Command version 1.001. You can download a trial version
of the game, as well as purchase
a license key
to unlock the full version.  If you already have the
game or demo installed, just hit "Check For Updates" inside the game to
get the latest patch.





More Free DLC:  A new unit is now available in your Starship
Constructors! Leech Starships (shown left) are basically an upgraded
version of the existing Raid Starship. The Leech Starships are the first
starships to have the Reclamator ability, which makes them take over
ships they kill (like parasites or core leeches).







The AI also has two elusive new units:  AI Troop Accelerators, and
Anti-Starship Arachnids. The arachnids might come out if you spam
starships at an AI planet for too long, but for the Troop Accelerators
you'll just have to keep your eyes open.  There's a small chance you
might see one on any given galaxy map -- and there's a chance that they
will even be inserted into your existing savegames when you install the
latest patch.




In addition, there are a number of small balance tweaks, the most
significant ones dealing with making the single player experience more
akin to the multiplayer experience in terms of resources available.
Lastly, the final two in-game music tracks are now in place (and they
are beautiful); there is also now victory and defeat music.  AI War is
now considered fully released -- we'll continue doing patches with AI
upgrades, free DLC, and any minor bugfixes/balance shifts that are
needed (like any other RTS game, players tend to find these small issues
over time). Enjoy!
