[QUOTE=Hoche]The sides in this debate seem to fall into two groups.

1.) EiA fans which like the game the way it is. (of which I am one)

2.) People who don't care about EiA and want to turn the comp version into a completely different game.

Matrix can evolve the game to what's expected by PC strategygamers in 2003 that includes FOG,etc, or they can make a board game copy that has limited gameplay appeal and is only played by a small amount of people..

Just to throw in my quick $.02. The intent is to keep the game as close to the board game as possible with the initial release. We will certainly add in features as we can, and FOW is one of those features being considered. Given the abilities of a computer version of a board game, FOW certainly is something that is feasible and gives a player using an AI opponent something to challenge him to a greater level.

What I get by reading posts from the Matrix people is that they aren't going to make major changes to the game and plan to keep it a close as possible to orginal game, as they should. I guess what I am trying to say is the group 2 people need to stop trying to change EiA comp game into what they want and let EiA fans have a comp version of the game they like. There are plenty of other games out there that meet the criteria groups 2 people demand. They should go buy them.

I am sorry if I offended anyone I just get frustrated by some of the posts is this forum.[/QUOTE]

Ditto! Well put. Thank You!
