Anti-Freeze v1.2

PeterCapObvious 96

The main objective is to build economy, install Blackguard, then destroy all their economy via exposing ice from successful runs on HQ. This will be backed up by Xanadu and Rook to ensure it's too expensive for them to rez their ice.

With added Forged Activation orders so you can immediately trash certain pieces of ice which they cannot rez.

If it's too expensive to rez thanks to Xanadu and Rook, then they won't actually suffer an economic hit when it gets exposed. At least you get the security of knowing the ice won’t get rezzed when you run at it...

But to actually get them to trash it; why not have a 3rd Forged Activation Orders?

Yeah increasing ICE rez cost is kind of at odds with Blackguard. They don't lose the credits if they can't pay the full amount. Snitch is great here, however, and will cause your console to trigger way more than the once per turn you get off of Silhouette. You basically don't even need to run Account Siphon if you get the pieces quickly enough.

Crescentus can make them do it again, while Grappling Hook and e3 Feedback Implants are also in-faction and enable the hell out the de-rez tactic.

@FarCryFromHuman, @michaeln, Thanks for the feedback, In the test games I've ran I have grown a distaste for Blackguard, so I have made alterations which I plan to try out asap in AF v1.3 :)
