Ancient Shadows is the fourth expansion for space strategy game AI War: Fleet Command. It introduces champions: These modular behemoths can be upgraded, gain EXP, and lend powerful aid to your main forces. But champions possess a unique power that sets them even further apart from other units: they can explore entirely new parts of the galaxy where the AI cannot reach. Splinter factions of humans, zenith, neinzul, and spire all dwell in those backwater nebulae. Some are hiding. Some are plotting. Some have gone totally insane. It is there, in the shadows, that your champion can find relics from the ancient race which constructed it. What power awaits? At what cost?

Oh no, you're making another one! Dammit, Acen, I LIKE my money; I do useful and responsible things with, like pay rent. Or I did, before you started making games! :D

You've done so well with the past expansions that there's no doubt in my mind that this one will be epic as well. I look forward to it!

Cheers,
-Dirk
