AI War is a strategy game where you play as one of the last remnants of humanity and your mission is to destroy the AI has wiped almost all life from the galaxy. Or, as the Steam Store page puts it:
[quote]You are outgunned. You are massively outnumbered. You must win." These are your orders.
Humanity has already fought its war against the machines -- and lost. AI death squads stand watch over every planet and every wormhole, the few remaining human settlements are held captive in orbiting bubbles, and the AIs have turned their attention outward, away from the galaxy, to alien threats or opportunities unknown.
This inattention is our only hope: a small resistance, too insignificant even to be noticed by the AI central command, has survived. These are the forces you will command. The AI subcommanders will fight you to the death when they see you -- but your glimmer of opportunity comes from quietly subduing those subcommanders without alerting central processing to the danger until it's too late.
You do have a few things going in your favor. Your ships are much faster. You have safe AI routines to automate defenses and mining outposts. You have production techniques that can churn out fully-outfitted unmanned fighters in seconds. There will never be more than a few thousand of your ships versus tens of thousands of theirs, but through careful strategy you must somehow reach and destroy the heavily-guarded AI cores.
Go forth into the galaxy, steal AI technology, recapture those planets you must in order to achieve your ends, and save what remains of humanity. But draw too much attention to yourself, and the full might of the AI overlords will come crashing down.[/quote]
The gameplay is a lot slower than most RTS games. You must make your way through the galaxy gathering research, ship types or even resurrecting massive dead ships of previous civilizations. All this must be done without raising the AI progress, which increases over time from taking planets and achieving other objectives. The higher the AI progress, the more aggressive and better ships you start facing. Blindly taking every planet you come across for yourself only leads to being massively outnumbered by ships vastly better than anything you have.
Made this thread to promote a bit of awareness for this game because it's somewhat unknown as far as I know, and to find other players who play this.

Whoops, I'll fix that.
I got them all but I never got into them, it was just to complex for me. I read tons of tutorials and guides, I still fail at it.
This game is amazing, but at I lost interest at some point (not because of the game though, I remember I was planning a blitzkrieg deep into enemy territory to take out something)

But yeah, the AI is pretty damn good.
