| Summary | 0026733: Revised Fuel How To Play Entry | ||||
| Description | Suggested update to fix a couple of small misspellings and also to reflect the fact that Shard Refineries will not be added to allow for Fallen Spire play. A note added on the Necromancer as well as it definitely won't play nice with them. This is for the second entry on recommended settings. "Yes! It is advised to play with a relatively minimal number of other factions active, or even just against the AI(s) by themselves. It is also suggested to play on a 'semi-open' map type with a relative minimum of chokepoints. The wide variety and dynamic potential of the available maps and factions in AI War 2 is one of the game's greatest strengths, but it also poses a tremendous obstacle when it comes to balancing this type of challenge. Fuel works by giving the AI additional targets in the player territory to attack, targets the player has to care about and defend. Chokepoint-heavy maps largely trivialize this by limiting access to a player's empire. The other factions interact in dynamic and unpredictable ways, leading to chaotic maps that can be a great deal of fun to play. However, it is simply not possible to design a mechanic that can account for all of these possibilities and present an appropriate level of challenge, much less do so in an interesting way. Every reasonable effort has been made to accommodate specific factions; for example, an extra Argon station is seeded in Dark Zenith territory. But for players who enjoy using large numbers of factions, it is advised to have fuel off for those styles of play since it will not have the desired effect. Fuel is also not recommend for campaigns involving the Spire or Necromancer, or for multiplayer games." | ||||
