[quote who="Paradoxnt" reply="19" id="2235763"] I actually favor the 'Channeler dies = lose the game' concept. It will certainly make players bond with their 'avatars' and improve game immersion. [/quote] ... As an option for those who would share your (very valid) conception of bonding & immersion.

[quote who="Sekerah" reply="25" id="2216479"] As someone who has spent hundreds (if not thousands) of hours playing the Civilization and Galactic Civilization games I can say that Camp 1: "Sophisticated" sounds far more enjoyable. For people who don't want that level of micro-management you can always put in an option to let the AI handle it (much like how you can have the AI handle virtually everything in the game for you in Civilization if you so choose).

What about the Elves ?! You cannot have a fantasy game without Elves ! I suppose they'll be dumped into the "Fallen" melting-pot, next to the [e digicons]}:)[/e] and the [e digicons]:troll:[/e] : what a sacrilege ! At least, then, make them up as Dark Elves.
Grrr ... I was very happy with my stable 4-year old, 32-bit, Windows XP system ... Now, I'll have to pressure my dad for another gaming comp with a 64-bit Vista OS.
