So, anyone know anything about this game? It's made by Arcen Games (http://www.arcengames.com/), and it looks like it might be interesting, but I'd like to know a bit more about it.

Oh, and it's on sale on impulse, which is why I even thought of it.

AI War is hands down the best RTS I have ever played.

I just wish there were more people to play it with. Do any other playgrounders play it?

Well, I will shortly. How necessary are the Expansions?

I have the game, didn't really play it much, seems sort of like 2d version of sins.

They aren't. Unlike other games they don't change or fix the core gameplay. Core gameplay changes are released as free patches for everyone. The developer is amazing.

I have the ZR expansion, but I can play without expansions just find (just have to uncheck the expansions in the settings menu and then restart the game)

Ah, cool. New question; how does one destroy the Armor Ships? I can never seem to do any real damage to them, as opposed to pretty much everything else.

Anti-armor ships. :p
I played the demo... I don't recall facing armor ships. Though, I do think it states what each type of ship is strong and weak against.

The problem, at least at that point, was that I had a mixed fleet of all types, and I just couldn't kill the 4-5 armor ships in the surrounding systems. And this was with a 100+ mixed fleet focusing all of their fire on them.

Raid Starships. In the latest patch they do lots of Armor Piercing damage (just now read that in the patchnotes for 4.025 (http://arcengames.com/mediawiki/index.php?title=AI_War_-_Current_Post-4.000_Beta#Prerelease_4.025)).
