Gil Favor's Sidekick
We have enough players well into Gotm16-Rome to open a discussion of whether we feel we should keep things like the squid or whether we should not do these sorts of things.
This discussion thread is intended to serve two purposes:
This discussion thread is intended to serve two purposes:
- We want feedback to decide if the "squid" specifically could be included in future games.
- We would like feedback on the general concept of including extra units and unit-like features in the games.
[/list=1]
The general guidelines we are using to decide if the added unit features meet the standards and mission statement of the GOTM would be to make sure that the standard unit features of the basic game are not substantially altered or confused by the addition of the extra features. This does not mean that the new feature may not create a challenge for all players to learn to deal with.
We also want to try and keep the game as close as possible to the standard unit configurations in order to emphasize that learning to play the game well under fairly standard rules can be an exciting and enjoyable experience.
Please share with us your opinion of the squid unit and any guidance or feedback that you may have WITHOUT TURNING THIS DISCUSSION INTO A MAJOR SPOILER.
