Two stupid questions (AI and Workshop)

by **MIC132** » 17 Jan 2017, 23:47

Ok, so I have two quite stupid questions, but I can't seem to find answers to them.

First, the latest patchnotes mention "simulated AI", that's disabled by default. Out of curiosity, how would one go about enabling it?

Second, there are multiple mentions of "Workshop" or "Workshop mode" both on the forums and in the settings, but I can't find anything like that. Any help?

Thanks in advance.

I believe to see the Workshop visible you need to enable Developer Mode from the preferences then restart. It should be visible on the top of Forge after that.

Currently there's a little "secret" option, only available in Constructed mode - on the Constructed lobby screen, you'll see a switch allowing you to toggle a player between Human and AI. If you right-click the "AI" button, you'll be given a small context menu allowing to enable the simulated AI.

If you feel adventurous, you can try it. It's a really interesting AI, but it's not yet finished and sometimes it'll actually behave worse than the standard AI (but in quite a lot of cases it'll come up with very interesting decisions that the standard AI is not capable of).

Ok, but how does it actually work?
I get card catalog, and then a "card designer" and "card script" windows, but clicking a card from the catalogue doesn't fill them, nor is there any "new card" button or anything like that.
Is there any guide to using it?

This question about the workshop is exactly what I'm trying to figure out, it's like this great secret. No coverage in the manual. Any luck?
