Every planet is a choice. Every choice has a consequence. The Zenith Remnant is the first expansion
to Arcen Games' hit space-based indie RTS/4X hybrid, AI War: Fleet Command. This expansion includes a
massive amount of new content that brings the galaxy to life in exciting ways. Capturables, special AI
ships, and ancient alien artifacts litter the cosmos, making your choices as a player more varied than
ever. Do you risk total war with the AI by capturing and rebuilding a massive golem? Do you procure
defensive superweapons from Zenith traders?
Maybe you’d like to finally be able to build the powerful Core ships that the AI has long used --
or the all-new experimental ships with strange and powerful abilities. Befriend the dangerous alien
Dyson Sphere by helping it against the AI forces, or sneak around it to avoid incurring its wrath (that
thing is moody). If you see a Devourer Golem, don’t forget to run -- preferably as it pummels your
enemies. Any path you take, there are consequences; AI War is known for being heavily strategic even
amongst strategy games, and The Zenith Remnant takes it to new heights.
Key Features:
* 122 new ships, including:
* 14 new ship classes with a variety of abilities.
* 7 massive capturable "Golem" ships.
* Dozens of other new capturables, including “experimental” ships.
* 12 new AI Types.
* 4 Zenith alien minor factions (NPCs).
* Over 40 minutes of new in-game music tracks.
* Several new map styles.
* Several new AI behaviors and many related special AI weapons.
Purchase A License Key
To purchase a license key for The Zenith Remnant (only $9.99 USD!), please visit our
Online Store.
Please note: like almost all game expansions, this requires that you
already own the base game in order to use it!
If you already have AI War 3.0 or greater installed, you can simply hit the Updates button in the Main Menu of the
game, and then click the "Content For The Zenith Remnant" button to download and install the expansion. Alternatively,
you can download the expansion package manually:
To install the expansion package if you manually download it: 1. Run version 3.0 or higher of AI War: Fleet Command.
2. Click the "Updates" button on the main menu.
3. Click the "Install Manually-Downloaded Update" button in the updates menu.
4. Select the update zip file, and hit "Open."
5. Then just click OK a few times as the game analyzes the update, shuts down, installs the update, and restarts.
Important Notes: 1. If you have the base game, and install the expansion, you will go into trial mode of the expansion. Feel free to
explore the expansion that way, but if you want to go back to full mode without buying the expansion, simply go into
Settings, Expansions, and turn off the expansion. If you have bought the expansion, simply enter your license key on
that same settings window.
2. If you want to update an old savegame to the expansion, simply type "cmd:activate expansion 1" (without quotes).
This includes enabling the expansion ship classes, as well as enabling golems and other new capturables, although the
population of those capturables is likely to be different from what it would have been if the expansion had been turned
on from the start of the campaign given the same seed and other settings. There is no way to disable the expansion for
an existing game, however, so be sure not to save over your existing file if you want to go back to the non-expansion
version of the game.
