@taamvan:

Can you elaborate on some of the improvements, so that I may hopelessly convince myself to buy it, knowing i’ll never play?

I’ve played monopoly with 2 boards side by side and can’t build any hotels. You need doubles rolled to jump from board to board.

The pieces look awesome!

Looks great. I want one. How much?

LOL That was good.

I just think the best combo is this:

movement: small stick style joystick ( because you use a few fingers rather than perhaps 4 fingers for W-A-S-Z)

Looking around and aiming the gun: mouse

The mouse (or your moving your hand rather is much faster than using fingers to manipulate the other joystick for xy axis movements because it only requires you to move the hand while you can fire with the same hand. The joystick requires you to move fingers and take your hand partially off to use those 4 buttons.

I like both pretty equally. With regards to what you said about RTS skill being about memorizing hotkeys and such, I don’t bother attaining enough skill in this department just to be better at the game. (Maybe this is why I still haven’t beaten Starcraft or Warcraft 3?) But I still love RTS because of the fast-paced decision making! On the other hand, Turn-based is awesome because it allows alot of time for decision making. So as long as it’s one of the two extremes, I’m good to go. :D
