Re: Roleplay and Dominions 2
'course, none of us are implying we've gotten any genuine, semideep RP outta Dominions, are we? Strictly thematic, stylistic stuff, a bitta superficial flavor.
Fun as all hell, but while I'd never pass up an opportunity for some good RP, I'd be willing to waive this stuff for most games. I suppose, theoretically, it'd wear kinda thin after a while. Theoretically. Boy, insulting people's mothers in Latin is fun.
Still, big difference between an RPG(Not CRPG, please do note the difference) supplemented by a wargame, and a wargame with subordinate RP elements. Apples and oranges, mind you, sweet, sweet oranges.

Hypothetically speaking, would any of you mind if an opponent spent a few dozen paragraphs describing a Tien Chi diplomat's hollow affectations and diplomatic niceties? Beats dealing with Ermor.
