ORIGINAL: Alexander Seil To gbed: The reason it actually worries me is because the open beta (which was, mechanics-wise, practically a complete and finished game) that was floating around before Matrix took over did NOT let you play as China and France separately... Yes, but it didn't have an AI. MWiF will. Perhaps that will change things. I'm hoping for maximum flexibility as to which countries can be played. Hopefully the AI will be able to play one's allies if one only wishes to play a single power. I wonder how negotiation between the powers can be handled? Say, for example, one is playing Italy and wants to request resources from an AI Germany. How about co-ordinating grand strategy? Could the AI give one updates of the plan, ie "Hey Italy, Germany and Japan are trying to link up in India, so try to keep the Commonwealth busy in Mediterranean." I suppose if the AI is playing one whole side there must be some mechanism for communicating between the powers, so perhaps something similar could be used for human/AI interaction. Cheers Neilster
