This is proooobably just me being insane, but I've had ideas bouncing around my head the last few nights about the possibility of a story set in the AI War universe. I know people already roleplay sometimes when writing posts in the AAR forum, but Idunno if that would be appropriate for what I have in mind given that it's not based on any particular game or map seed that I've played. I suppose what I'm trying to find out is:
A: whether I can do this at all,
B: whether I'd have much leeway about the structure of the galaxy. 80-120 lucky planets linked together by a wormhole net seems a bit small for an entire galaxy, though it'd still work fine for an individual piece happening within it.
C: some lore tidbits that might be helpful for setting up timing. The game's intro scroll is pretty clear about the fact that humanity spent a LONG-ASS time fighting itself, but what I don't know is how long the AIs have been around for and how quickly they went from being brought online to stabbing humanity in the back. Idunno if there's anything concrete about that, or whether it's up to individual players to handwave the times a bit in their own personal interactions with the AI War universe.
Advice and feedback would be very nice and appreciated.
