Wild Space is about to get a whole lot more wild! In addition to the primitive and easily dispatched mini-bases that inhabit Wild Space during a fresh universe, some of the richest parts of Wild Space will need to be taken by force.
Starting next universe, AI Empires will inhabit Wild Space. While in this first iteration, they are merely (very pretty) obstacles, they are in truth the beginning of a new dynamic sweeping through Wild Space.
Prepare for the opportunity for an opportunity to smash into an AI controlled team that follows all the rules of a normal player team, but doesn’t hold a grudge!
They will expand, attack, trade, and offer unique rewards for both killing their assets and leaving them alone. Their assets, barring a few minor quality of life changes (such as killed bases disappearing instantly), follow all the same rules that player bases do: Irradiate them and see what goodies they hold (though be aware that currently these goodies are purely visual goodies that are in-line with existing gear)!
Current Features
AI Empires! 4 unique factions with visually distinct themes, ripe for the killing.
Each AI Empire follows the same rules as normal teams: Declare war and start the attack!
Planned Features
On the offensive: AI Empires will attack galaxies they consider valuable with massive assault ships. Put your defenses to the test.
Better be prepared for what lies beneath: The “civilized” AI empires are quite predictable, but new fledgling (“Termite”) empires might just decide that the ill-defended galaxy in your team’s territory might make for a great new Headquarters.
Good Neighbours: Certain AI Empires may buy and sell rare items, attract rare AI not usually seen in Wild Space and might even be diplomacized into attacking mutual foes. Good relations can lead to good things!
Likely Questions and Answers
“Wild Space is already pretty crowded, won’t it be worse now?” – Wild Space will be quite a bit bigger! The AI Empires will take roughly 40 galaxies, Wild Space will however have far more than 40 extra galaxies available.
“Can you kill off an empire completely?” – Yes! No invincibility shenanigans. They’ll be dead. And I will only be a little bit sad about it.
“When are the new features coming?” – Offensive empire capabilities are likely coming mid-uni. Termite Empires shortly afterwards.
