AI War:Galaxy Map Priority Buttons
How Do I Use The Priority Buttons In The Galaxy Map?
Q: I saw the brief explanation of these in the first in-game tutorial, but I've never really figured out the best way to set priorities. What should I set as P0, P1, P9, etc?
A: This was something we intentionally left up to the player. You're free to come up with your own meaning and notation system, which can be as sophisticated or as simple as you like. Here at Arcen Games, however, we tend to use this following system of meanings when we play:
P0: Nothing Particularly Interesting At This Planet
P1: Nothing We Want Here, And Something Negative Is Here
P3: Data Center
P5: Advanced Factory
P8: Possible Core Planet
P9: Advanced Research Station or AI Home Planet
The higher numbers trump the lower ones in this system -- so if a planet has an Advanced Research Station and anything else, it's a P9. If it has a Data Center and an Advanced Factory, it's a P5. The reason we use the P0 to mark uninteresting planets is so that we know when we've analyzed a planet. That way it's easy to spot planets that have been recently been scouted for the first time (and which therefore need to be prioritized), and we don't repeatedly look back at the same planets over and over again.
