New AI War 2 build! https://wiki.arcengames.com/index.php?title=AI_War_2:Post_Completion_Part_II#5.587_Deguardianing This is a small one that is basically a dewormer but for giant guardian spacecraft. A fix in the prior build to a 5-year-old bug caused massive shifts in balance that were unintended. Fixes are nice, but giant shifts in balance are not; aside from opening the floodgates to too many guardians, the game balance was just as desired without the fix, so we simply reverted it. In some respects not my preferred solution, but at the same time with a game this complex, we would have been chasing unintended consequences to AI types for months. So in this case, a particular bug which is bad math is actually working as intended. Hmm. There are also a few tweaks to the Sidekicks mod. Enjoy!
