Plan your next Ages of Conflict: World War Simulator session
Our independent guide helps you get the most out of Ages of Conflict by focusing on observation, customization and data analysis. By comparing built‑in tools with community content, you can deepen your understanding of AI‑driven geopolitics and refine your map‑making workflow.
01 / THE GUIDE
Baseline Observation
Run a default scenario without edits and note the timing of alliances and revolts. Compare this baseline to later runs where you adjust AI parameters to see how behavior changes.
- Observe early alliances to anticipate later power shifts.
- Use the history view to spot patterns in AI behaviour.
02 / THE GUIDE
Simple Map Edit
Create a new map by altering a single border. Observe how the change influences neighboring nations and record any shifts in territorial control over several simulation years.
- Start with a simple map to learn the editing interface.
- Experiment with AI behaviour tweaks to see varied outcomes.
03 / THE GUIDE
Workshop Scenario Comparison
Select two popular workshop scenarios and run each for the same duration. Use the statistics view to compare nation growth rates, conflict frequency and overall stability.
- Browse the most downloaded scenarios for proven engaging setups.
- Combine workshop maps with your own edits for hybrid experiences.
04 / THE GUIDE
Long‑Term Simulation
Configure a simulation with settings that allow the world to evolve for thousands of years. Periodically check the history view to track major events and assess the impact of early edits.
- Use the statistics panel to compare nation growth before and after edits.
- Use the statistics panel to track how nations change over time.
05 / THE GUIDE
Statistical Analysis
Review the simulation statistics and note how nation trends develop over time. Identify any correlations between terrain changes and economic performance, then adjust your map design accordingly.
- Enable custom volume controls for a comfortable audio experience.
- Take advantage of the save‑anytime feature to pause long simulations.
