I mainly reproach the wiki to be a collection of strategy guides that makes finding facts and mechanisms quite difficult. This page is a proposal of a reorganization of the AI War wiki's main page that would highlight facts and put strategy aside (not removed, but put at the end, after the facts).

== TODO ==
  
The [REVAMP] tag after a link means I consider getting rid (moving away) of the strategy bits on the linked page and making it more objective. (No "you", no "how to", etc)
+
Upload correct version of [[File:AIWarMercenaryZenithBeamFrigate.png|50px|]] when upload error is fixed.
  
The [STRATEGY] tag after a link means I consider moving the link to the strategy section because it contains good strategic advises but too few facts.

== Personal Notes ==
 
 
 
AIP determines New Reinforcements- Every so often, the AI gets reinforcements determined by a formula that involves Difficulty of AI, AIP. As AIP gets higher, it gets proportionately more reinforcements. When these reinforcements get too high, the AI releases waves, CPA's, and the like.
 
  
AIP determines Tech Levels- As certain thresholds of AIP are crossed, the tech-level of all reinforcements gets bumped up by a level. This can make fights you were winning a draw or a complete loss, this also forces you to spend knowledge just to keep up to the AI's level.
+
== Handsome List Syntax ==
  
AIP means more at higher difficulties- The AIP reinforcement formula gets much more fierce at higher difficulty levels, especially at Diff 10. So just keep this mind if you play at higher difficulties that the same amount of AIP in a Diff 7 is much deadlier in a Diff 8, 9 , and 10 game.
