I bought the game on day one and have been playing every evening since. Vic got my money, but I feel I need to leave a little note about just how much I'm enjoying this game. I don't mean to be dramatic, but this may very well be Vic's lifetime achievement; surely, this is a new milestone in strategy gaming. We always complain about stagnation and lack of innovation in our favourite genre and then this thing drops... Just look at the amount of CRAFT that went into this game: the manual, the backstory, the wealth of interlocking systems, the little details. I mean, we're all entitled to our opinions I suppose, but when I open the forums and see posts like "THE GAME IS BROKEN!" or "THIS SYSTEM MAKES NO SENSE!" it breaks my heart a little. Man, I can't begin to imagine what it must feel like to publish something you've dedicated all your energies to for years on end (as it's clearly the case here) and have some random commentators dismiss it so quickly and so brazenly. So, I thought it might help to add my voice to this post and give a little encouragement.
