(More Press & Player Reactions)
AI War is an entirely unique
large-scale RTS with aspects of TBS, tower defense, and grand strategy. It features single or cooperative
play with as many as 8 humans against a pair of powerful,
intelligent AIs. These AIs are driven by an AI
Progress stat that players contribute to through aggressive actions such as taking control of planets
and destroying key units, forcing tough decisions regarding which targets are worth capturing or
destroying. Human fleets are usually several thousand ships in size or larger, with games often
featuring 30,000 units at any given time across galaxies of anywhere from 10 to 120 planets.
Some games have reached as many as 90,000 units!
Despite this, players retain powerful control
over their fleets in a macro-sense, ignoring painful micromanagement present in other games
in favor of actual tactics like flanking. Meanwhile, ships themselves attempt to target
enemies as intelligently as possible so the player can focus on the tasks that really matter.
Scouting also plays a major role in the game, supplying an intel 'snapshot' about important
capturable units, enemy fleet sizes, and planet ownership. Designed by RTS veterans and backed by
strong, responsive support on the official forums
and elsewhere, AI War is an exciting and refreshing experience.

DRM
We've been asked if the game contains any signficiant DRM, and the answer is, emphatically, no.
We've got a simple license key (which turns the trial version into the full version), but that's it.
No need to contact our servers during install, no hidden drivers, no encryption, or install limits.
We want to make it easy on our customers, and, like the folks over at 2D Boy, we've never really felt
like DRM works, anyway. If you like our games, please buy them so that we can make more, but we're
not about to start treating our real customers like thieves just to thwart the inevitable pirates.
