AI War 2 Zenith Onslaught - Linux

In this universe, the Zenith are long dead; only the mindless automatons called Golems are left behind, toiling away millennia after the fall of their civilization. But what of other universes? A universe where the Zenith still live would not likely be one in which humans could have flourished and taken to the stars. Multiverse theory has been around for hundreds of years, since back on Old Earth. It had never been tested.

Then one day in the middle of our war with the AI, the first of an oncoming horde of Zenith came through from a neighboring universe. To them this was a post-apocalyptic starscape littered with the corpses of their kin. These are Zenith in their prime, confused as to the state of affairs in our galaxy, and not exactly pleased with their findings.

Zenith Onslaught is the second expansion for AI War 2. It's focused on making the galaxy feel rich and complex and changeable in new ways. It primarily provides Zenith-based factions that have their own agendas independent of humanity, unlike The Spire Rises, where all the factions were much more interested in the player (for good or ill).

Major Features

• Exciting new Dark Zenith faction, which can be set to invade at some point. They then set up their own economy, allying with the Dark Spire if they are also enabled. These can really make even the AI sweat.
  
• Powerful new Zenith Architrave faction, fresh into our universe and desperate to get back to their own galaxy-spanning war. Minor diplomacy may be possible.
  
• Frightening Zenith Miner faction, which first sends out probes, and later tries to mine entire planets into pieces. Has a special taste for Dyson Spheres. Hack them for fun and profit.
  
• Nomad Planets make a triumphant return from the original AI War, with options for entire Nomad Galaxies. And yes, you can still become death, destroyer of worlds.
  
• Eight devious new AI types.
  
• Wormhole borers, dangerous tools in the hands of the AI that allow them to tunnel behind your defenses.
