| Summary | 0021659: Make AIP good for you as well as being bad | ||||
| Description | "As the Milky Way AI systems come back to life to deal with the new threat (you), dormant encrypted resource nodes, factories, weapons and utilities disseminated on all planets come back to life. You can't reactivate them yourself, but if they activate in your territory you're the one that gets the benefits. So you're pissing off the AI, but paradoxically the angrier it is, the more beneficial structures reactivate for you on the planets you captured." (...) This should really capture the "pushing your luck" feeling. cf https://forums.arcengames.com/ai-war-ii-gameplay-ideas/research-(also-hacking-which-i-think-of-as-research)/30/ --- Basically, having a bunch of beneficial structures whose activation depends on reaching a certain AIP level would throw a nice twist into the whole system, provide us with another source of difficult decisions, and push players who are too timid to expand more. We could also add a few Bad buildings such as big bad turrets or certain eyes which activate at a certain AIP threshold, just to spice things up. | ||||

I'd say that if something like this enters the game it should be linked to AI "abilities" like CPAs, Wormhole Invasions etc. So for example, at 100 AIP the AI activates its first Wormhole Projector Station and 1 more for every additional 50 AIP. Each charges up to a set limit and then launches a Wormhole Invasion. If the player captures them they may send a medium-size wave of drones via the wormhole to any planet in the universe they have vision on. This would tie the AI's awakening "abilities" to buildings the player may capture or destroy and explain a little where the attacks are actually launched from. |
