Remember the good old days of the AI kicking your but in classic? Well they're back for more. Show them you went to tactical school!

Realistic map, 80 planets, 2 AIs difficulty 8, human resistance fighters and marauders set to intensity 4. AI 1 is the vicious raider, AI 2 is the special forces captain. Risk analyzers are on, set to 2, to facilitate auto AIP gain. Officer fleets, Battlestations, Citadels, Major Data Centers and Lone Wolf Fleets are turned off. To compensate, additional Advanced research stations are seeded and just like classic, the AI cannot recapture planets. You will also not have to deal with instigators, as those weren't in classic. Capture Variance is turned off. And of course, you start off on Murdoch.

You start with Classic starting fleet and defenses, while getting the rejuvinator mobile factory. Designed for those who want a good ol' vanilla playthrough from classic before the dlc hit.
