AI War Beta 5.002 Released!

[x4000]

Original: http://arcengames.blogspot.com/2011/02/ai-war-beta-5002-released.html

This one continues our bugfix/polish work, and also includes some small additional features that were the top requests on our idea tracker.  Namely: triple-clicking units allows for a new kind of selection ability; there are now keybinds for showing strong/weak info; and the selection description window in the bottom right has seen some added functionality.

This is a standard update that you can download through the in-game updater itself, if you already have 4.000 or later. When you launch the game, you'll see the notice of the update having been found if you're connected to the Internet at the time.  If you don't have 4.000 or later, you can download that here.

But I don't get off work for another 6 hours! How could you do this to me! 

(Thanks for the great work, as always)

[Red Spot]

Thank you

But:
Snipers (the ship, not the turrets) :
Bonus vs UltraLight from 6 => 1.
Bonus vs Light from 1 => 6.

Is missing:
Raid starship
Hulltype from UltraLight => Light

I know my raids always die waaaaaaaaaay faster than the AI's but I haven't been playing in games with sniper ships where this happens. But the last raid starship balance thread went on for a million pages and then died without really reaching any kind of consensus, so I'm not sure I want to reopen that can o' worms.

[Red Spot]

Just kiding, I'll manage
(Snipers are at the moment my 'guards' with a preference for targeting raid starships, a bit of adaptive play will remedie that )


@ Shrugging Khan
I think I like you, but I'll let you know in a few days

"Black Widow golem health and Attack Power boosted a bit (15%-ish). "

I was hoping the ship in general got nerfed  in return for more effectively blowing out engines, but I suppose this could work as well.

The new tooltips for AIP is excellent (saves me having to look it up on the wiki and/or work it out myself all time) as is the return of the HP % indicators in the fleet selection box.

triple clicking units??? Could you please be more specific? It doesn't work....

If you want specific, look to the release notes.
