0 points.

a) this will kill some player more or less randomly

b) the AI couldn't cope with it

c) adds tons of MM without giving much addition to gameplay .. unless you prefer bombing your own position (rebels) to messing with other players

d) msut be hard-coded and there are lots more promising features/ideas and even more bugs to cover

Sorry folks, big 'thumbs down' from me !

Remember, perfection is when there's nothing there that could be left out - not when there couldn't be added any more stuff !

Thanks for the feedback Arralen

A few questions though: How would it kill someone randomly? In B what is MM and why don't you think it would add gameplay?

Also don't you think it would be more realistic?

This is a vey good idea i give it a ten based on the fact that it makes it a lot easier to conquer a race and it also has a downfall so it has to be thought through before you destroy a homeworld.

I think in this case MM means micromanagement (as opposed to Malfador Machinations, obviously)...

Imagine how annoying it would be if Chewy were female. Would you stop nagging everyone to vote already.

(I'm just playing with you, right)

And no, I'm not in the mood to vote right now.
