Every planet is a choice. Every choice has a consequence. The Zenith Remnant is the first expansion to Arcen Games' hit space-based indie RTS/4X hybrid, AI War: Fleet Command. This expansion includes a massive amount of new content that bring the galaxy to life in exciting ways. Capturables, special AI ships, and ancient alien artifacts litter the cosmos, making your choices as a player more varied than ever. Do you risk total war with the AI by capturing and rebuilding a massive golem? Do you procure defensive superweapons from Zenith traders?
Maybe you’d like to finally be able to build the powerful Core ships that the AI has long used -- or the all-new experimental ships with strange and powerful abilities. Befriend the dangerous alien Dyson Sphere by helping it against the AI forces, or sneak around it to avoid incurring its wrath (that thing is moody). If you see a Devourer Golem, don’t forget to run -- preferably as it pummels your enemies. Any path you take, there are consequences; AI War is known for being heavily strategic even amongst strategy games, and The Zenith Remnant takes it to new heights.
Key features:
* 122 new ships, including:
o 14 new ship classes with a variety of abilities.
o 7 massive capturable "Golem" ships.
o Dozens of other new capturables, including “experimental” ships.
* 12 new AI Types.
* 4 Zenith alien minor factions (NPCs).
* Over 40 minutes of new in-game music tracks.
* Several new map styles.
* Several new AI behaviors and many related special AI weapons.

AI War: The Zenith Remnant review
This expansion adds a ton of new stuff including more than 100 new ships! Considering AI War is already a huge scale game, these additions make the game feel even bigger (especially with the newly introduced Golem ships). AI has also been much improved making the game more challenging. Of course you should probably start with the base game first to get the hang of it before tackling this expansion. This type of game isn't for everyone, but if you liked the base game then you should absolutely get this, especially if you manage to get it on sale.
AI War: The Zenith Remnant review
The Zenith Remnant is AI War's first expansion, and focuses both on adding capturable units and a new minor faction called the Zenith to the game. Arcen maintains an exhaustive list of features, but highlight features are as follows:
Golems, which have many similar properties to Supreme Commander's "Experimentals".
Several new base ship types, further expanding on the available choices for the player as well as making the AI a more devious opponent.
New AI types that took advantage of many of the capturables introduced, as well as some that use Zenith ships.
Over 40 minutes of new music tracks composed by Arcen Games' composer, Pablo Vega.
a new class of "Experimental" ships that offer abilities one would not ordinarily find in AI war ships
AI War: The Zenith Remnant review
Good expansion to an already great indie game. By no means groundbreaking, but definitely worth its usual price tag.
If you're looking to expand AI War, I recommend starting with this. It adds a lot of stuff that easily becomes standard equipment for future campaigns.
Also a good expansion to buy with the base game if you've not bought AI War yet.
