What gives you idea that nobody uses it? I use it. Saber Cherry uses it. Any newcomer to Dom II will use it. In fact it adds flavor to the game, and if you don't like that flavor then it’s YOUR right and YOUR opinion. Not EVERYONES. So please stop making statements in my name.

Hmm what gave me the idea that no one used it (other than the people who admitted to using it to 'sabotage' the enemy) was the tone of the rest of this thread.

Ok you use it, great, now what's wrong with wanting to make it optional for those of us who feel it penalizes the AI? You will note I never said to remove it completely. All I did was state that if no one (I'm corrected on that one, so call it 10% now?) uses it, what's the point?

No one has adaquately answered the claim that it penalizes the AI yet either. All anyone has said is that its 'not a big deal'. Well that's hardly proof, and the ~25% of the time using a pretender (combat or otherwise) does seem like an issue to me for the AI.

So again, make it optional, that way everyone is happy.
