  1. You could have tons of power if the power system was comprised of extremely large quantities which results in tons of power being quite low on the overall scale of power.

  2. This is exactly what you're looking for, methinks; although the magic is part of the...well, you'll get it if you read even the first chapter of the book.

The in game currency is used in real life as well, which allows the Author to put additional conflict with an exciting resolution.

     

    I've read tons and tons of books, and this one goes in the upper bracket.

  4. As a long time lurker, I always saw Dikiyoba doing a great job at moderating and keeping peace 'n such. I do however hope this doesn't foreshadow Dikiyoba leaving this forum permanently.

  5. Although the Aliens are obviously infinitely more technologically advanced than our own species, there is no need to tell them of:

    I mean, both have equal odds of succeeding, yes?

    Actually, this brings up an interesting point. The last book in the Pendragon series reveals that raptors can be trained with dog whistles and are remarkably effective against a much larger force of fleshy beings provided that this force is too stupid to use any tactics beyond "group together and relentlessly attack no matter what".

     

    Dikiyoba is sure you can figure out where this is going.

     

    Also, the reason for the Zombies is inspired from Rots, as it is described that they severely demoralize invading armies, and are very difficult to exterminate as they aren't alive, and they do not require any organs. Aliens would already know how to knock out electronics, as they have FTL drives which is amazingly advanced.
