@beelee said in Roger's Scenario Thread:
I enjoy your reviews.
Have you done "Another World" yet ?
Can the AI play "Another World" in meaningful way? There are multiple levels of infrastructure and all sorts of political actions. In general too many unit types and too many areas.

yea I have no idea. I've never played it

I had the AI play itself. No one ever went to war and nothing was built except militia and an occasional transport.
