New To AI War
« on: September 29, 2011, 12:40:58 pm »
Greetings!  I downloaded the main demo to AI War yesterday, played for a few hours, and realized I had found a winner.  So I purchased the entire lineup for AI war, (Direct from the Developers, of course!), downloaded and installed everything then had an Uh-Oh moment.  I started thinking about all the content in just the main game that I still don't understand and then all the addon stuff that I really don't understand and I had a moment of panic.  "I'm going into feature overload", I thought to myself.  "I'll never figure all this out an once."  So I started thinking about how to uninstall the addons and just play the main game.  Then I had a glimmer of an idea.  As detailed as this game is maybe the developers made a way to pick what addons to play.  Sure enough!  I can turn them on or off at will at the start of a campaign.  Now that's the kind of thing that makes a gamer smile a bit.  Not too big, because people think that other people who sit and smile like idiots when there is nothing to smile about should be taken away in padded vans. 

Thank you, developers.  I have found a game that will keep me busy for a long time to come.

Cheers!  Thanks for the kind words, and welcome to the forums. We try to make it easy with the expansions, because like you I've played a lot of games with expansions that were separate executables, or various other issues like that, and I always hated it.
Have ideas or bug reports for one of our games?  Mantis for Suggestions and Bug Reports. Thanks for helping to make our games better!

I have to say "Wow" again.  I just played my first non tutorial game and I don't think I've ever been obliterated in such short order by an AI.  Who knew there could be so much joy is being completed spanked by an AI?  Well, maybe Dwarf Fortress or Project Zomboid, but I'm not talking about those right now.

Welcome to AI war, where losing rarely makes you rage quit, but more often makes you gape in awe about how good the AI is at taking you out in intelligent ways.

Exactly!  So many different strategies that can be played and I haven't even loaded any of the expansions.  So many ways to lose!  So many mistakes to make.  It's great!

AI Wars, the game where you learn you actually do like getting spanked.
