Automation vs Micromanagement

> You should have seen what happened to Boron and I when we suggested upkeep for summons. People still hate me for that, and it was 6 months ago.

Illwinter doesn't hate you. Your suggestion has been considered, discarded, reconsidered, pondered, left alone and placed in the holding box of unused ideas several times since the first steps of dom1 were taken.

Pnakotus: You are right in your conviction that there are several automation features that would make the game easier to handle if implemented. It would be good to reduce micro. Just like it would be good to raise the 'initial reaction modifier' of the game from -5 to -3.

When we started work on Dominions 1 we were actually bothered that there would be too little to do during a turn. This was in the good old days when PBeM was the only possible way of playing multi (at least for us). Therefore we didn't bother much with MM reduction (perhaps we even increased it).

I certainly wasn't accusing the great[img]/threads/images/Graemlins/Lightning.gif[/img]Illwinter[img]/threads/images/Graemlins/Lightning.gif[/img]of any such thing!!! I was refering to a few select individuals who probably know who they are and will remain unnamed. Of course, who is to say that is the only reason people dislike me?

I hate you because you whipped my butt so hard that I've needed to stand for the past week. Ouch.

Hey!!! You attacked me! It was your just punishment for attempting to satiate your bloodlust on the peace loving Devils of Abysia We wouldn't hurt a fly (unless it got in our way[img]/threads/images/Graemlins/Campfire.gif[/img][img]/threads/images/Graemlins/Campfire.gif[/img])
