AI War: Pocket Reference

AI War is an intimidating game, so I wrote up a pocket reference with keys and some general gameplay guidelines. It's based on PocketMod, and is printed out on a single sheet of paper, cut, and folded into a little book.



It wasn't easy getting everything I wanted onto 8 tiny pages, so I'm open to feedback. I probably won't be adding pictures, though I might gussy it up a bit with some color in the future.

Very nice.  Have some quick feedback.

Page 4: Basic Ship Selection
Select.  I don't know if you can fit it, but triple click is valid as well.  Double click is all units on the screen of that type AND mark.  Triple click is all units on the screen of that type regardless of mark.


Page 6: Build/Queue Management
Alt+RClick is listed twice.  I believe it only moves the ships to the back of the queue.  I don't believe there is a way to remove units 10 at a time from a queue.

You can alt-right click on the ship icon that's not in the build queue to remove 10 ships at a time.

Amusingly that explains why I have this memory of once doing during the tutorial, but have never gotten it to work since.  I've always clicked on the ships in the queue to remove.

I see nothing about submitting to the AI Overlords and giving up this pathetic human- I mean, yeah, looks great!
