Bing reminds me more of an extended msn or yahoo page than a google search engine.

Age of Wonders had simultaneous turns rather than uh, politely take your turn turns. Far superior.

Negotiations generally should be quick, short, simple and straight to the point. No time for small chatter and idle banter. Unless a very good reason to justify advanced negotiations exist, players might favor the fast route when dealing with many civs. Now if the game could make negotiations entertaining well that might be a very good reason indeed. Like if the emmissary I am speaking to is laying out his war plans in a video feed of the cloth map plus moving chess

Here is the feedback I can offer: The unknown is one of your best weapons as a GameMaster when doing a game like this. Sending out army units to carry out specific orders past the players vision and communication boundary can be powerful when done right. Sometimes scouts report back, sometimes they don't and sometimes your whole macho a

One request: please please please don't make The Fallen another generic stock fantasy species with generic fantasy modifiers like +1 fire resistance ect. Please No! Let's see more imagination. An army of human cannibals that covert a conquored populace into ready food supply or slavers that retain a percentage of the conquored as slave labor population pool is just better than the D&D purple planar brimstone lo
