Titan VG Edition - (Valley Games, Inc.)

For you new Titan players, I found the following link really helpful for learning the basic strategies. Someone posted it in this thread back when the game was first released. I've had it in my Instapaper ever since. With the sale, I thought it was worth a repost.

I am so happy with this new update. It fixed whatever minor gripes I had with the UI and the instruction manual. I still haven't really delved into exploiting terrain effects, but I do have the other game mechanics straightened out.

For those wondering, the AI still does seem to be a bit feckless with its Titans, but I've only played with the one and two-star AIs. What often happens is that around two of them are eliminated relatively early on, leaving the remaining players to battle it out.

Cool, so the AI personalities have ELO's or is that only for human players? As long as I can have ELO like stuff in games vs. AI I'm SUPER SOLD!

It has always intrigued me but I've never been sure if it is really deep or needlessly complicated.
