Good to see someone exploring the Man faction. You might go easier on the narrative writing tough since it might get a bit confusing (game technicalities lost in the translation so to speak). Not to mention you might run into one heck of a writers block after 40 turns.
With Turmoil 3 I'm sure it will be an extraordinary development.
PhilD: Please write your AAR as well if you feel inspired to do so. I'm sure you two will differ a lot in the strategy and tactics which will make it interesting to compare the differences.
