AI War: Fleet Command 4.0 and AI War: Children of Neinzul Released!

[Shardz]

Congratulations to Chris and Keith and everyone who made AI War 4.0 possible! The most stout and comprehensive RTS game on the market fo shizzle! It looks like Gamersgate actually has it available already, too! Outstanding job everyone!

[Winter Born]

Does anyone have a side-by-side comparison of the two versions? I've had the game for a while but never really played  

I don't think one exists.

New graphics and music

some critical design changes:

Shields gone and with them the random chance to miss
Armor and hull types have replaced that whole mechanic.

AI does not build turrets any more.
They now have mobile Guardians that can counterattack.

Guard posts now come in 10 varieties plus at least 7 core types

There are new AI units that will kill your old Blob-of-Death tactics.

and on and on and on

4.0 - better looking. Faster. Stuff.
3.xxx old. Engineers teleport. eh.

*shrug*
edit
minor issues, steam doesnt clean up the old installation, leaving folders everywhere..

I didn't liked the removal of teleport for engineers (mk3 still have it, but heh), but they are so fast it doesn't make that much of a difference anyway.

I hope this release will get more people playing AI War, with the pretty engine and the sales.

What was the reasoning behind removing teleport from mk 1 and 2 engineers?

What was the reasoning behind removing teleport from mk 1 and 2 engineers?

Having engineers disappear erratically and unpredictably was hugely confusing to new players. And, I must say, it annoyed the heck out of me, too, as I could ne'er just click my engineer (or find them where I left them).

I've been out of the loop a long time, but they seem to have stupidly higher range now too, so they don't really NEED to teleport so much.

That was precisely the idea. Almost as useful, but way more usable.

the almost being the annoying part 

I currently have access to expirmental engineers however, so im not complaining overly much 

[Giegue]

hey, I just noticed something: I haven't heard the zenith remnant title screen music in awhile. you sure its working?

it bugs me when I just go by unnoticed.

then again, it happens in real life too. I've also found a bug with the map of the galaxy in the new game area: the shipcap displays for the bonus ships are the same no matter what the limit is. but ingame, the shipcap is the way it should be.

I was sure I replied to the ZR intro question, but apparently not. All three intros now play correctly. However, the ZR intro has been remastered and the funky noise/voice intro for it has been removed, and it's now entirely a piano version of the original AIW intro.

[Dathknight]

Version 4.0 is definitely a reason to look in the forums again 

[frags]

Awesome stuff. You've outdone yourself again.

With the release of 4.0 and CoN, I think I should return to playing AI War again. Been away from it for too long.

Anyways, I noticed a little something something on the CoN page on the website:

Download AI War: Children Of Neinzul

    To install the expansion, all you have to do is download and run the Zenith Remnant Setup File from any one of the locations below, and install it into your existing AI War folder:

Zenith Remnant setup file... for CoN? 

Someone's been cooking copy-pasta?

Fixed it, thanks!  And, thanks as always for your support.
