The difference between a brave man and a foolish one is written in the history book.

[deep profound sigh - similar to the sort a primary school teacher would give a particularily truculent class of 5 year olds] Here we go again

You are no doubt going to say that the foolish man is the one writing the book as the brave man is in 12 different pieces for being brave

You stick to your guns m'bucko - I'll be stealthed up to the nines being surreptitious and all and you can charge round like John Wayne with haemmorroids

Growltigga,
The Brave man and the fool both make decisions and take chances. The fool and the brave man may end up as space dust. It is the outcome of their efforts that will determine their status.
As to the benefits of Armor, Stealth, and Sensors, I say, "Scissors, Rock, Paper"

I suspect you are right about the 'scissors, rock, paper' test - a lot of this game appears to follow that concept

the same also applies to a lot of boardgames - once you had the hang of what was the rock/scissor/paper etc, you had pretty much exhausted everything - I always used to rely on the 'Godzilla effect' ie putting my foot throught the gaming board when frustrated

Growltigga,
Re: 'scissors, rock, paper'. That is the pleasure in playing against "Humans". You never know what 'scissors, rock, or paper' they will use. The AI, (algorithm intellect), is fairly predictable after a while.

Too right - but sometimes the AI can catch you out by doing something so ridiculous it either (a) wrong foots you completely or (b) belongs on the Muppet Show

Have you tried playing SEIV against 'human' (giving the term its widest possible definition) as of yet? I can see how it could be absolutely fantastic
