- Can be any short description, hopefully how the AI works (AI/Simple State machine etc), if we need to expand below with a longer description we can do that.
- Multiplayer means more than 2 players. Network Play means More than 1 Human.
- BotArena AI: FranAvalon says: I dont know what we can put here, but if we compared BA's AI with the other.... At least BA's AI can win a lot of games playing as a real player, instead lose the games by yourself because you are mana flooding, mana screw. Also, which AI can win you on second turn? ;D.) Basically, AI is our main attraction
