This is a page to talk about stuff for players. I didn't write anything because I know you all are just dying to write all your secrets in this wiki. ;)
The Object of the Game
A brief introduction to Armagetron Advanced.
For Beginners
Introduction to Tactics
A guide for players new to the game that want to improve their abilities.
Building Your Skillset
A top-level how-to that explains the base set of skills needed and gives some pointers on how to develop those skills. By focusing on skills and leaving tactical discussions to other articles, a new player will have a way to evaluate their overall progress in the game.
Etiquette and Protocol
How to behave. Also, why good behavior is important in this and any other internet activity.
Game Concepts
A discussion of important game concepts.
Rubber
What is rubber, anyway? I have a gauge for it, but what does it mean?
Scale
What is the scale of the arena? How fast am I really going? How long are my walls, if not infinite?
Tricks and Tactics
Player Tricks
Tricks players can use to differentiate themselves from other players or simplify their playing experience.
Single Player Tactics (Against AIs)
TODO
Multi-Player Tactics
TODO (I know you'll love writing this)
Team Tactics
For all types of game, here's what you need to know to win or lose without pissing off your teammates.
Fortress Tactics
This is different enough from Team Tactics to get its own page. Most team tactics apply here, but fortress tactics put a whole new take on things.
Animated Tactics
Watch and Learn!
Moviepacks
A canonical list of moviepacks and other modifications available.
Grid Games
Sometimes players like to play games that are a bit different than the regular game. Maybe you've seen it and you thought they were camping? Maybe you've tried to play along and had a spot of trouble? Read here to find out all about it.
Game Variations
These are settings that allow for different game play styles or modes.
Camping
Page about camping.
Lag
Page about lag.
Frames Per Second
Page about FPS.
Console
Using the console.
Press the tilde key.
Effects and Display
A guide to video effects and display.
Customizing the game
Changing the look and feel of the game: installing Moviepacks, changing cycle colors etc.
Playing Maps
Your complete guide to installing a map into Armagetron Advanced and configuring the game to play it for you. It does not include how to make a map, you'll need to saunter over to Extending Armagetron Advanced for that.
