Every planet is a choice. Every choice has a consequence. This indie RTS/4X hybrid emphasizes grand strategy and group tactics instead of fast-clicking, and includes hundreds of ships and billions of possible maps. Play solo or cooperatively with as many as 8 humans against a pair of powerful, intelligent AIs unlike any others in the genre. Human fleets are several thousand ships in size, with games often featuring 30,000+ units at any given time across galaxies of anywhere from 10 to 120 planets.

"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

* 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

Despite the size of the game, 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.
