I am not sure about adding this experience facet to MWif, however, if only because I'm used to things as they are now.

Status: offline 		The idea is interesting.

However, it seems to me you guys already have a heavy workload with:

-the AI,

-play-testing with the new scale (Pacific map, Scandinavia...).

Once those 2 are dealt with, why not pursue other goals?

Status: offline 		Fortunately, we have the beta testers to work on play-testing the universal map scale and tell us how it plays out; in addition to the experience several people (beta testers or not) who played with the old CWiF beta, leaving the rest of us loads of time (except for Steve, who spends enough time on this project) to come up with all sorts of weird and wonderful new ideas.

Also, if you have scanned through the forum threads on the various major powers' AIs, you'll see that a lot of thinking and cogitation has gone into them already, and while many gaps remain there is already a lot of material for Steve to work with, and more to come on an almost daily basis.

That said, I agree to some extent - with the planned release of MWiF just about a year away, we want to focus in on the things that need finishing before MWiF product 1 comes out, and then more thought can go into the things we want to see in MWiF product 2, including things that may or may not be feasible for WiF:FE in its boardgame incarnation.

I haven't seen this posted on the wiflist discussion site. Do you think they may have anything to offer?

Well, this is more a MWiF idea than a WiF FE idea, because there would be too much bookeping if such a rule existed in WiF FE.
