AI War: Fleet Command
Arcen Games | Released May 21, 2009
"AI War breaks most of the genre’s rules. Which is precisely why it’s incredible... This out-of-the-blue one-man passion project is one of this year’s finest strategy games." - PC Gamer UK Review, November 2009
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.
- Space-based RTS, single player or up to 8 player co-op
- Powerful emergent AI that retreats, probes defenses, and surprises even veterans with intelligent tactics
- 30,000+ ships at a time on 10-120 simultaneous planetary battlefields
- Different Every Time: 16 billion procedural maps, each with specific units
- A focus on deep strategy with nearly no micromanagement

About Arcen Games
Arcen Games entered the PC indie scene in 2009 with their cult classic AI War: Fleet Command, which was named the 40th best-reviewed PC game of the year by MetaCritic. Their second year was a busy one, seeing the release of The Zenith Remnant, the first full expansion for AI War; Tidalis, an innovative block-based puzzle with casual appeal and hardcore depth; and Children of Neinzul, a micro-expansion for AI War with all profits benefiting the Child's Play charity, of which Arcen is a platinum sponsor.
AI War's third and largest expansion Light of the Spire marked Arcen's first release of 2011, and now the company has shifted its focus and excitement to the development of A Valley Without Wind. Originally a one-man shop, Arcen Games has grown to have half a dozen part-time or fulltime contributors to its various titles. For all the latest news, media coverage, and some of our other musings, follow us on our developer and individual game pages on Facebook, Google+, Reddit, or on Twitter: @ArcenGames.

Well, before you ask for a free ride, write one yourself to the complexity and general timbre of this game and do so yourself. Remember that games like these take time to make, effort to balance out, and a lot of patience to get just right. I purchased this game because it forces me to adjust, think differently, and approach from many different angles.
This is a good game. Remember that information is vital in this game, and that you need to think out each step very carefully, as the AI progress keeps climbing... and you don't want them to get high up there. As the game says, you are outgunned, outclassed, outplanned, and outmanuvered... that is until you get a decent foothold and litter every system you take with AI ship parts.
This game is a blast with friends, btw.

this game shold be free
sorry to burst your bubble but the money is definitely worth and should not be free, your probably a cheap-o-*** who can't afford a few dollars for a game and it's expansion packs, as i said earlier the game is worth it.

this game shold be free
Awesome sale going on over at their site, untill the 24th :)
hi!, I do not download this, but one question: you can reduce the limit of ships in the game? My computer can supports only 400 xDDDDD
PLEASE RESPOND
aaaaaaarrghhh! this is demo
Wait, can anyone tell me whats all the hush hush about this game? i mean, what makes this game really special, what draws people to play it?
OK I enjoy this game so I have a bias. Ver 4.0 is out so the stuff above is out of date.
The graphics are 2D - Eye Candy isn't the point of this game. A very hard and non-predictable AI is. Depth of play is: over 6 million different maps and over 100 hours of content (base game),average game length of 12 hours (Some extreme players play on the largest maps that take up to 60 hours to finish a single campaign. There is a new survivor mode in beta for short intense games).
AI War is not for everybody. If you like grand strategy, solving tactical puzzles, Tower Defense games, tough AI, and a game that continuously improves through free DLC, then give it a look via the demo and visit the player forums. Oh yeah, all profits from the 2nd expansion go to the "Child's Play" charity for sick kids.
Why not donwload the demo to have a try? me---downloading
