AI War 2 space strategy gets a Paradigm Shift update in Linux gaming, Mac and Windows PC. Thanks to the creative efforts of developer Arcen Games. Who are also announcing further content coming to Steam, GOG and Humble Store. Arcen Games is eager to announce the launch of a truly major update. Their space strategy cult hit AI War 2 is also getting more content. The release date for the upcoming expansion AI War 2: Zenith Onslaught is May 18th. The most devious and famed artificial intelligence in strategy gaming continues to evolve. While offering an ever growing pantheon of allies and enemies. AI War 2 is a grand strategy RTS hybrid game. While gameplay pits you against an overwhelming, inhuman enemy that takes over the galaxy. "The new Paradigm Shift update (v2.800) for AI War 2 reimagines players' relationship to luck within the context of the game," according to lead developer Chris McElligott Park. "Procedural generation is an excellent tool often misused. But we've always had two competing ideologies within the AI War titles. One, you're constructing an empire of your own design. And two, you're having to adapt to what you find. As well as be clever with tools that are not always your top favorites." "There has always been a push and pull between these two competing ideas. And this new Paradigm Shift, as we call it, brings them into greater balance. While also reducing the impact of luck. Then increase the number of shooting conflicts you're likely to get into."

Star Dynasties - What is the Game Like

So now that you know the game is good. We also reached out regarding support in Linux gaming going forward.

Star Dynasties is being made with Unity. So a Linux port isn't entirely out of the question. But it will depend on how successful the game is at launch.

Since it is worth mentioning again, Proton 5.13-1 does provide functionality for the Demo and future support. But that native build is the goal. Seeing the use of Unity should also make porting the game easy enough. But it seems we will need more Wishlist support via Steam. Which you all know what to do. Click your name on the Steam Client, then select Store Preferences. Making sure that under Operating Sytems it ONLY shows Linux. Then go back the Steam page and Wishlist the game. Not enough Star Dynasties for you? Well, ahead of the release in 2021. The developer will be on the look out for beta testers. Join the Iceberg Interactive Discord page if you're interested. This will be for the Windows PC build. Maybe with enough Linux community members requesting support, a native build?

A Brief Rundown of the game:

Star Dynasties is a sci-fi strategy game. Which also takes place in a divided galaxy following the destruction of Earth. While plunging humanity into a new Dark Age. Centuries later, the few surviving colonies secure themselves into a feudal society. The game mixes a light empire management strategy layer. And as result, create a unique procedurally generated story of human drama. Including feudal politics, where your choices define your story. As the leader of a faction of star systems. Its up to you to ensure the survival and success of your dynasty at any cost. Expand your empire, herd your unruly vassals, and build political alliances. All while working through a web of agendas and political intrigue. Along with social obligations to emerge as the main power of the galaxy.

Features:

Take on the role of the head of a political family through multiple generations, and lead it to dominance over the remnants of human civilization

Experience an emergent narrative of personal and political drama

Uphold the traditions and laws of society and earn a reputation for honour, or seize power and risk turning the galaxy against you

Interact with hundreds of characters with realistic personalities, emotions, and relationships

Punish those that have wronged you, and reward your allies
