    With all due respect. I am glad I never played age I. Although I probably would like it much better than age II. Age II has the "potential" to be a more satisfying game though. Assuming they can put a good combat system in place.

    Here is why. People who played age I will always have a view based on a comparison with age I. They will judge changes based on preconceived ideas of what it "should" be. A prime example of that is the "honor" system in age I and how I mentioned that it could be changed to balance in a different way. It doesnt need changed unless other changes are made. See how one change can cause other things to need changing?

    Age II is clearly a radically changed combat system. Therefore just as radical changes for balance are needed. Once the combat button is added and the bugs worked out, the Evony community will figure out new strategies for optimizing benefit. Players always end up adapting. Cream rises to the top! These techniques and strategies just might be totally different than combat in age I. In fact, they could conceivably be totally opposite!

    I am looking at the game from the point of view of comparing other combat systems and games that allowed attacks (raids for plunder), conquers and colonization all in the same game. I have even playtested a game long ago that did just that! In fact, that game also had religious conversions added to make it even MORE complicated and difficult to balance!

    PS on that note: Please comment on age II here. This thread is age II and clearly marked as such. Thanks
