What Does SC Do Best? (Little Upsilon)

Yes, it's a complex game...you need to think, learn, experiment...over time you increase your scale of thinking and operating. Having various achievements but no ultimate victory is neat. The interplay between economy and war can, at its best, be very interesting. The war game itself is great, both planning and the actual battles. It's complex enough that you can legitimately try to outsmart opponents with new strategies.

I like the periodic rules changes and new features--sometimes they open up new strategies and make you rethink things you thought were settled.

The war game on FB has hit bottom. War protection is too prevalent, the friendship network is preventing a lot of wars, and the new blood just plays the status quo--we've reached Laguna's endgame, and it sucks.

I'd like to see one world in which there are minimal safety features, in war and in economics. A wild west world. That is, no war protection except accrued vacation wp, and true adherence to the laws of supply and demand. No products magically entering or exiting the system. No restrictions on market price swings and rates of change. Sure, the economy might "blow up" if some important product is underproduced...so we enjoy the chaos, and let the natural feedback mechanisms follow their course.

Well said Jojo.

Str8 from the authority...

ps Vote for no WP on FB!

Look at that, I turn on the the TV and the the first line I hear is «Young blood craves for rebellion, as much as it craves for sex.» I don't know what is the name of the series, but they were calling other characters numbers.

But, but, and this is the interesting part, the actor who said that line was Ian McKellen. That's good enough for me to confirm the truth of the observations in my post.

It was pointed out to me that I meant, in my poll, "No WP on FB except vacation WP AND wp for new players."
