Wiki

[Red Spot]

Not sure this should go here, or someone prefers a PM about these things...

On the wiki there are, afaik, some minor errors that might be confusing.
I'll post the one I just noticed, and if this is the correct place will just add more of me nitpicking in this topic.


From this page: http://www.arcengames.com/mediawiki/index.php?title=AI_War_-_Why_Do_Enemy_Waves_Get_So_Large%3F

This bit of text:

Step 8:
Now the count of each type in the wave is multiplied based on difficulty:

Difficulty  Multiplier 
Difficulty < 6 1 
6 <= Difficulty < 7    2 
7 <= Difficulty < 8    3 
8 <= Difficulty 4 

Should this not be?:

Step 8:
Now the count of each type in the wave is multiplied based on difficulty:

Difficulty  Multiplier 
Difficulty < 6 1 
6 >= Difficulty < 7    2 
7 >= Difficulty < 8    3 
8 >= Difficulty 4

Tried to make that a little clearer with my magical wiki editing powers. Hopefully I understand it myself. Since there are no gradations between 6 and 7, it seems silly to says 6 <= difficulty < 7 when you can just say difficulty 6.

Well, the numbers have actually changed quite a bit since I wrote that table initially.

FWIW:

"7 <= Difficulty < 8    3"

Reads as

"When Seven is Less Than Or Equal To Difficulty And Difficulty is Less Than Eight, then use 3."

The new rules as of just before 5.0:


Difficulty 1-3 are x1
Difficulty 4 is x1.5
Difficulty 5 is x1.75
Difficulty 6 is x2
Difficulty 7 is x2.25
Difficulty 7.3+ is x2.5

The magical wiki fairy has magically updated the wiki with this new information. Is the rest of that page accurate, or has much of that changed under the new rules as well? If you want to dump any new information, I'm happy to put it in a nice format and toss it up there.

Send my compliments to the wiki fairy.

I've updated Step 1 to reflect the change made there.

While I got your attention

Could you add a note about the exogalactical strikeforce-waves? There is no info about them on the wiki.

I don't have time to write much more right now, but there is some info on the exogalactic stuff under the fallen spire "technical details" article:

I know, more or less, how they work. It is just that say, you are in a game and first-time have one of these waves called and see:
"exogalactic strikeforce detected [x%]"

You might be wondering what is up with that, and searching for that term on the wiki results only in beta-update releasenotes stating where things relating to it have been changed, not what it actually does.
