I have recently begun playing UA with a friend, and he complained about Necrons being weak after spamming builders and making only 2 squads of Attack Scarabs for an army and consequently being crushed (facepalm). I sent him one of my replays where I defeated 2 allied AIs alone with Necrons. Now he's claiming that the Automatic Reinforce wincondition I had on (which saved me a lot of trouble, as I scarab rushed) cripples the AI economy, and I only won because of that.
Therefore I wanted to ask, how does it interact with the AI? Is the AI forced to reinforce? Does it reinforce to the max normally anyway? Does it just ignore the wincondition and carry on as normal?

I have to be honest with ya, I know little about this wincondition. xD What I definitely know is, do not save your game then load it while active. ;)

But...

1) The AI and human players are given the same benefits within the wincondition. All infantry reinforces to full strength on AI or players until you hit the green pause button (toggle overwatch) by minimap.

2) Yes

3) Yes

4) I don't know what you mean? The wincondition goes until overwatch is toggled on/off. :)

Thanks for posting this thread! I hope I answered any question of yours!
