The most devious and acclaimed artificial intelligence in strategy gaming is better than ever. A grand strategy/RTS hybrid that reverses many conventions of both genres. Take territory without attracting attention, build your empire with care, and adapt to an ever-evolving galactic battleground.
New AI War 2 build! https://wiki.arcengames.com/index.php?title=AI_War_2:Post_Completion_Part_II#5.603_That_IS_A_Moon
This has some balance changes to the base game, as well as new features to the sidekick mod, including Dyson Moons, which are quite cool.
Enjoy!
Heart of the machine has been a part of this NextFest, and there's a couple of days left for you to try the (massive!) demo, if you want: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2001070/Heart_of_the_Machine/
PC Gamer has called this game [url=https://www.pcgamer.com/games/strategy/heart-of-the-machine-is-the-most-exciting-thing-happening-in-the-4x-genre-and-you-can-try-it-now/]the most exciting thing happening thing happening in the 4X genre right now[/url], and in general the feedback from demo players has been hugely useful for me to work on making the onboarding even smoother.
There's also some cool coverage of the game emerging around now, such as this one from Splattercatgaming: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_jLw0TgJ31Y
