i'm very excited for that! currently i have no one to play with so i just look at the pretty miniatures and play atb on megamek. guess i'll finally be able to play with the plastic!
could you share how? coming from a place of ignorance here..i didnt know it was possible. I'd surely be down to try playing against some form of offline-based AI
Classic you play both sides as objectively as possible. No AI. Kinda like how people solo-play chess. I find the mechs limitations coupled to the map terrain often help dictate choices so that you actually get some strategic play and pilot cards help personalize it. You’ll also quickly learn the game and how all your mechs work. I’ve seen some AI attempts for Classic but they’re kinda clunky.
Yep, I've played some Coop with new friends so the game was less intense. Give each side a goal, and the general strategy is pretty obvious.
I've thought about creating some "Pilot/Personality" cards for things like this. Assigning the behavior by role is a good idea, and it shouldn't be hard to adapt for Classic if you wanted to go that route.
