AI War Technical Support / Re: No 2D rendering after update

Odd, are you running a free install (bought via the webpage) or via a download service (Steam, Gamersgate etc)?
 
If so try verifying the local files. If that doesn't help, try reinstalling. It seems there could be textures missing, because as far as I know, not much has changed in the way the game displays textures between those versions.

from the webpage, i'll try reinstalling now see if it works

AI War Technical Support / No 2D rendering after update

« on: May 19, 2013, 01:50:53 PM »

Hi fellow human survivors, i have an issue where the game doesn't draw the 2D backgrounds or menus, this happened after i updated my 5000 setup to a 6000 one(in 5.000 the game was rendering fine).
Here is a screenshot:


Any help is appreciated.

AI War Strategy Discussion / Strategical Advice

« on: June 24, 2012, 01:40:57 PM »

Salutations fellow survivor!

I came here with a request for a simple strategical advice, my situation is:



As you can see it's an X-Map and i've conquered 5 planets, i have an attack fleet



Which is a full stack of MkII fighters, bombers, missile frigates and vampire ships plus all starship i can build.

Now i have a hard decision to make, i have two border enemy planets and i can't decide which one to attack, they both posses a strong fleet and structures and some can be really threatening for my fleet.
One of then is:



This one posseses an ion cannon that can insta-kill my workhorses.
and this:

This one has a fearful AI eye which i don't need to say it's hard to destroy.

My main attack strategy is to simply select the attack fleet and go to the galaxy map, ctrl+g+v click on the target planet, watch and when they strat to come back to wormhole i order then to attack the command center, after that i order the construction of the outpost ship and build there.
The problem of my strategy against the AI eye is that the Ai eye summons those annoying zombie ships which will seek me out if the attack fleet is destroyed, and as you saw above my attack fleet is huge so do the AI counterattack with an AI Eye.

Additionally i would like to know a little more about attacking strategies.
Since no i thank you for your attention.

AI War / Re: MORE MORE MORE CHEAT...

« on: March 16, 2012, 01:44:39 PM »

well this cheat can greatly turn the thing to your side,and burn your processor cycles, why? simply you can have 20 planets with MkII econ stations, that ums up about 6400s of crystal and metal.
plus you can place as many MkII force field as you woud like it's way too beneficial

thanks for the tips guys!,so i must have a econ station mkII FF gen mkII and grav turrets,plus stealth tachyon if i'm fighting an AI that uses a lot of slteath ships.
Logistics? really? they give about half you get from econ stations,and halves enemy speed,plus adv warp sensor and a decent armor value,what you look for most in getting log stations?

AI War Strategy Discussion / Game Setup

« on: March 15, 2012, 05:27:53 PM »

Hello Fellow Human Survivors

When setting a game up, is it possible to set which bonus ship type the players will receive? what does double-right clicking does in game setup screen(looby)?

About early game strategy,which kinds of techs i should buy? the techs i normally buy at the beggining are MkIII Econ Cmd Stations and Force Field Generator MkII,should i attack nearby weaker AI planets first? or aim to a specific AI planet where a ARS,DC,SpT and Exp Fabricator? the second one sounds fair and wise,but you can't find these kinds of planets early in the game (unless youre lucky).

My normal strategy to keep losses at a minimum is using full ship cap of all available ships, yes i attack the first planet with 400+ ships, i get starships when im have at least 5 planets

So how do i play multi-player? i never finished a normal game and i'm somehow adept in cheats(i can play without then though its just funnier to have cheats on,but i recently formulated a strategy to dont use res income cheat aka activate the omega).
I have a mic on and a speed of 128kb/s,though i play in normal speed,but i can play on slower speeds since im used to a lot of TBS games.
I can contact you via forum,mail me here and ill respond so we can play
sorry for the excessive use of "I" in the text.
My online times at the computer are (Brazil time) 1pm to 8pm.

All you need to do to collect the golem and the ARS is just colonize the planet for half a second.  When you start building the Command Station both the broken golem and research station will switch sides, then scrap your station and rebuild the golem at your own pace.

but these half second will enrage the sphere?

AI War Strategy Discussion / Hard Choice

« on: November 18, 2011, 11:27:00 AM »

Hello AI War comunity and arcen staff
I'm a newbie player to AI War, but played other RTS/Strategy games such as Warzone 2100, Warcraft III, Sins of a Solar Empire and Star Trek Legacy.

On this map there's a Zenith Dyson Sphere on the same planet of a Broken Regenerator Golem and an Advanced Research lab, i've freed the AI on that planet so the sphere is supplying me with that floating gatling guns , but now there a hard choice, colonize the planet, capture the ARL and take it out there and hold the sphere attacks until the golem is repaired or ignore it.

Something like this happened before, i have enabled Zenith Miners and two spawned on my territory and one on an adjacent AI planet, i succesfully defeated the zenith miner on my planets but when i gone to the one in enemy territory i had to attack the miner while the AI eye spawned zombies.
Of course i couldn't destroy it,the jungle planet became a ball of lava and all force fields shutted down because of the supply issue, after that i took the planet with ease.

What you think i should do?
