    We assume that they fell in with his battalion.
    Plus, you have to understand that this was entirely off the cuff.

    There you have it. You punch them, and they hit back by piercing your fists with shards of glass.

    Ah, but you don't sue someone for inventing a new recipe for a dish you invented, do you? I'm doing nothing. I just threw old ideas together in a new way.

I always thought that explaining clearly to the player that the zones represented isolated sites of special interest, rather than adjacent tiles, would have given a more satisfying sense of scale to those games.


    Well duh, how else did Poryphra, a city of 50,000 people, get reduced to a courthouse, bakery, smithy, temple, and two houses?
    If Geneforge becomes an MMORPG, which is looking less and less likely, that problem will have to be dealt with.

    (For more on said MMO, contact me, I've got every detail planned out, and every conundrum answered; I just need someone to write, animate, and launch it.)
