AI War 2 just dropped a new DLC, and I am super excited to give it a try! We're gonna be doing that during this series, but first, we need to get acquainted with the game once again, as it's been awhile since I've played it.

About This Title:
AI War 2 is a grand strategy/RTS hybrid that reverses many of the conventions of both genres. Take territory without attracting attention, build your empire with care, and adapt to an ever-evolving galactic battleground. It's also "a sequel to [Arcen's] enormo-space RTS AI War, which we called 'one of this year's finest strategy games' back in 2009" (Tom Sykes, PC Gamer)
The most devious and acclaimed artificial intelligence in strategy gaming evolves.
Most recent is 2021's Paradigm Shift (which has overviews and tutorials in that link). Every year since 2018, this AI has become more devious -- and the factions facing it, subordinate to it, or simply neighbors with it grow more numerous and more lifelike.

The premise is simple: you've already lost the war. The entire galaxy belongs to other factions, mostly the AI. You are starting with one small planet in a sea of hostile territory, and you must endeavor not to draw too much notice from the AI. Your job is to carefully evaluate targets, strategically expand your territory just enough to run your fleets and defensive networks, and then strike at the heart of the AI(s) when you are ready.

AI War 2 is meant to be both accessible and deep. Early 2021 has seen major improvements to make the midgame easier to get into for new players, plus a more forgiving Science system and a much more powerful Hacking system. Q3 2021 is going to introduce a new Expert mode for those who want the more extreme sort of challenge that comes from having elements of permanent loss, more reasons to hold disadvantageous positions, and so on. Which mode you choose to play will always remain a personal choice.

Welcome to Seren Santiago:
My name is Seren Santiago, and welcome to my channel! My goal is to provide entertaining content that is as unique as possible, and include both solo commentaries as well as guest stars!

I upload videos every Monday through Friday, with extra videos (typically stream archives) on Saturdays. Most days are one-video days, and have release times of 11:00AM ET. On two-video days, I upload at both 11:00AM ET and 2:00PM ET.

The biggest project on this channel is my podcast, Ecliptic Explorers. This is a podcast based on all things animation, but mainly focusing on Nickelodeon shows "The Loud House" and "The Casagrandes". It is worth mentioning that here, I do not constrain myself to any one show in order to provide a wide variety of content, as well as the best experience I can, to all of you!

After that, I am an avid gamer that plays tons of incredible titles regularly. You can expect to see strategy, auto racing, story, and multiplayer titles, among others! My favorite games are currently Forza and Total War titles, so those have a higher rate of upload.

All characters used in the branding are property of Nickelodeon. I do not own them or make money off of their likenesses, I am just a fan of the shows they are from.

Video Age Rating:
This video is rated PG and is suitable for all audiences.
