wiki update list
« on: September 20, 2009, 06:24:59 am »
A few random pages I noted whilst trying to find some information:

Needs revising, somewhat out of date: http://www.arcengames.com/mediawiki/index.php?title=AI_War_-_Starting_Out

Mentions 014 is in beta, probably should be updated to remove obsolete numbers and assume latest patch: http://www.arcengames.com/mediawiki/index.php?title=AI_War_-_Multiplayer

Only mentions the breakpoint for MkI to MkII AI ships, not II->III or III->IV; also "YMMV, depending" should be "this depends": http://www.arcengames.com/mediawiki/index.php?title=AI_War_-_AI_Progress#When_To_Worry (Colloquialisms are fine and dandy and all, but they get even more inexplicable to non-native english speakers if they're acronymised. ;) )

Tractor beams example needs correcting: http://www.arcengames.com/mediawiki/index.php?title=AI_War_-_Wormhole_Defense

Obsolete: http://www.arcengames.com/mediawiki/index.php?title=AI_War_-_Resource_Efficiency
Probably should create a page relating to Energy instead.

Needs updating to new resource caps: http://www.arcengames.com/mediawiki/index.php?title=AI_War_-_Resource_Caps

Same with here, but with new conversion values: http://www.arcengames.com/mediawiki/index.php?title=AI_War_-_Manufactories

Needs updates as to how cloaking now works with FRD: http://www.arcengames.com/mediawiki/index.php?title=AI_War_-_Cloaking

Forcefields can be repaired now, probably should just mention the "Can't be Repaired" tag on the items: http://www.arcengames.com/mediawiki/index.php?title=AI_War_-_Unable_To_Repair

Should also mention they can show up on IV planets as well: http://www.arcengames.com/mediawiki/index.php?title=AI_War_-_Mark_V

Probably needs a page on obvious "supply" questions.

Probably needs updating with new resource values: http://www.arcengames.com/mediawiki/index.php?title=AI_War_-_Captive_Human_Settlements

Needs updating: http://www.arcengames.com/mediawiki/index.php?title=AI_War_-_Engineers

All forcefields now mobile, should note something about range reduction due to health: http://www.arcengames.com/mediawiki/index.php?title=AI_War_-_Force_Fields

Update costs and general descriptions: http://www.arcengames.com/mediawiki/index.php?title=AI_War_-_Missiles

AI10's start at MkII ships so this seems somewhat out of date: http://www.arcengames.com/mediawiki/index.php?title=AI_War_-_AI_Techs

Also neither the official wiki, nor the community wiki have a link to the forums in their left side navigation.

Whew, that was a lot of stuff to update -- thanks for making the list!  That's all done now, aside from the forums link, which I will add shortly.

Don't worry there's probably even more changes to do then that. :) I just listed whatever I tripped over when I was trying to hunt stuff down, though on the plus side I think that's probably most of it though. :)

Oh, I'm sure there's more.  But I agree, hopefully that is a large chunk of it, at least.  With all the mechanics shifts leading up to 2.0, a lot has definitely needed to change, but at the same time I did not want to keep rewriting those wiki entries over and over again.  Now things are pretty much settled, aside from some new features and art and so forth, so the updates to the game mechanics notes are pretty much 2.0-final, which is nice.
