Hello.
I did some work for the AIW's wiki and as my English is far from perfect, I'm sure you'll find tons of mistakes in these pages.
Guardians (http://arcengames.com/mediawiki/index.php?title=AI_War:Guardians)
Dire Guardians (http://arcengames.com/mediawiki/index.php?title=AI_War:Dire_Guardians)
Guard Posts (http://arcengames.com/mediawiki/index.php?title=AI_War:Guard_Posts)
Thanks in advance!

Just did a quick scan so far.
Only things I see so far is organizational: For the Guard Posts, I'd suggest breaking them out into separate sections for the Brutal Guardposts, and the Unusual posts like the Special Forces, Counter-attack, Wormhole Guardposts.

Okay. Thanks.
What is a "section", for you? A page? Or just several chapters, separated by a big title, but on the same page?
Moving the SF GP, the Counterattack and Wormhole into a "unusual" pool? Why not. The criterion would be "special rule of seeding" (at least one SF GP per planet and rarely more / only if plot on / only around wormholes).
What do you call "Brutal" GP? Isn't it the same thing as "Core"?
*Forum Search (https://www.arcengames.com/forums/index.php/topic,12761.msg140422.html)*
Ow. So brutal != core. Why didn't you tell me that, %!#*$ wiki! So, the GP that are outlined in black instead of white, they are Core but not Brutal? Oh, nope: I see a CPA GP outlined in black, and a Riot Control in white. Wait, the CPA GP is a brutal pick, right? RIGHT? Maaan, that Core/Brutal distinction is sooo blurry!
Here is the list from that found forum post, but it seems incomplete:
* AI Core Eyes
* AI Core Raid Engines
* AI CPA Posts
* AI Wraith Lance Post
* AI <Launches gravity drones and with gravity field> Post (Grav Reactor (black-hole-like) or Riot Control?)
* Teuthida Post
Also... Core Eyes? They're not just regular eyes? And they count as a brutal pick?
*Ran some tests with double Brutal AI and complete visibility*
Okay, here is the brutal GP I found:
* Raid Engine
* CPA
* Grav Reactor
* H/K Factory
* Shredder Drone
* Wrath Lance
* Teuthida
Aaand it's official, the black/white outline is just plain inconsistent. Some brutal are black, some non-brutal are white.
Also, it seems the Rude Gesture SubCom and the Nomad planets have no brutal GP with the Brutal AI type. I've also seen a no-SubCom MkIV planet with no brutal GP...
It makes me think... A new AI type, "cousin" of the brutal: it has one core, non-brutal GP on each planet, not only MkIV.
Well, thanks for pointing that, Toranth. I'm on it.

Edit done, but... I'm not very pleased with the pool's names.
Regular, (non-brutal) Core and Brutal are ok.
However, how to name the SF/Counterwave/Wormhole and Subcommander-reserved? I said "special" and "exotic", but if someone has a better idea, I'm interested.
