Why there is no solo play vs only 1 ai?

[SAS]

why I can't close two of them if I want to play vs only 1 ai?
also why I can't select opposing leaders?
and why game give me selection from some leaders but not from all present in game?

A big part of the game is spaces getting blocked. It's not designed to run with less than three players. The two-player version of the board game features an 'AI opponent' that runs off a separate deck of cards, just to provide space blocking and contention for the conflict.

For your other two questions, I don't know why it doesn't let you pick opposing leaders. You can change leader selection type to Draft if you want more options when picking yours, but it still doesn't show all of them.

These are good questions.

The game attempts to simulate the board game experience as much as possible and the board game is strictly 3+ players. In the event you only have 1 or 2 players with the board game, the empty slots are taken up by the House Hagal "automa deck".

The same is true of opposing leaders. In the board game, you don't get to select other player's leaders, so they don't let you here.

I understand the argument that this isn't the physical copy of the game and the AI opponents aren't human, but I think the design was more intended to duplicate the board game experience as much as possible.
