About this chip ---

The Alteration chip brings a new mechanic into your strategy: nova damage.

How nova damage works

At the start I said "new mechanic", but it has actually been around since your very first game, even if you may not have noticed it: Erosion.

Nova damage is a bit like the erosion of a stone, tirelessly carved over thousands of years by a small waterfall, except that the waterfall is replaced by a 50-bar Kärcher pressure washer, and the stone (your opponent's max life) by a small pile of sand.

Be careful though: this chip affects allies and enemies alike.

The big difference between these two effects lies in the calculation: with nova damage, you have some control over it, through your Science.
