But champions possess a unique power that sets them even further apart from other units: they can explore entirely new parts of the galaxy where the AI cannot reach. Splinter factions of humans, zenith, neinzul, and spire all dwell in those backwater nebulae. Some are hiding. Some are plotting. Some have gone totally insane. It is there, in the shadows, that your champion can find relics from the ancient race which constructed it. What power awaits? At what cost? Expand

    As always, AI War brings with it great concepts, great strategy, and enemy AI that is terrifying and spectacular to fight against. With theAs always, AI War brings with it great concepts, great strategy, and enemy AI that is terrifying and spectacular to fight against. With the expansion Ancient Shadows, aside from the usual additions (new ship types, enemies, map styles, etc) the biggest draw is the Champions feature. Instead of controlling an army, a player can opt to play as a single powerful super-unit that can gain experience, level up, and choose RPG style improvements from a wide selection of traits. They have a regular auto-attack and 4 active abilities, so very similar to player characters in games like LoL or Dota. This makes it very easy for new people to help contribute to their friends' AI War campaigns even if they don't like big RTS games like this one. Another fantastic expansion to an already fantastic game. Expand
