AI War:Guardians

This page is a work in progress. Some information may not be up to date, difficult to read, unfinished, etc.

TODO: give this page the same look as this list when thumbnails are fixed.

Guardians are AI reserved starship-like units. Unlike starships, they can't join regular waves and don't roam the planet they defend, instead staying with the other dormant ships around their Guard Posts. They only attack if part of the Threat Fleet, which they join once awakened, and their role is mainly defensive, hence their name.

Guardian Unlocks

At game start, each AI only unlocks 3 guardian types, and gets more as AIP goes up: at 50 total AIP and every 100 AIP thereafter (so 50/150/250/etc) it will unlock an additional guardian type.

• EMP guardians only appear on difficulty 7 and up.
• Warp gate guardians only appear on difficulty 7 and up.
• Self-destruction guardians only appear on difficulty 8 and up.

Guardian reinforcements

At game start, a certain number of guardians (varies by difficulty) are seeded at each Command Station and Guard Post belonging to the AI (except for Special Forces Guard Posts). During each Reinforcement phase of a planet, the AI is allowed to add a single guardian to either the command station or one of the guard posts. The command station or guard post in question can't already have its cap of guardians. If the AI is unable to add a guardian, it does not get any recompense.

• On difficulty 5 and below, the AI can't get guardians.
• On difficulty 6, the AI only gets a single guardian at each guard post, and it cannot ever rebuild these when they die.
• On difficulty 7+, the AI can rebuild guardians, but only gets a single one per guard post (and only starts with one).
• On difficulty 8+, the AI can rebuild guardians and gets two per guard post (and starts with two).
• On difficulty 10+, the AI can rebuild guardians and gets three per guard post (and starts with two).
