Knight RAF (teh roommate) and I played/completed a game for the first time in a long time and I just wanted to say how much I enjoyed how seamless and fun the Alt. Champion Progress is to have activated. I am one of those who rather liked the nebula scenarios but after playing through a game using alt. progress, I may not go back to the nebulae until new scenarios are added. I am
extremely satisfied on where that ended up. Speaking of extremely satisfied, I don't believe I had beaten a game since before crystal went away and I am very pleased how well IMO hacking has replaced crystal as a better/more diverse resource. We had quite a lot of fun coming back to this game after how long it had been since we were playing. Granted, this time we had to turn up the cheese a bit (300% human economy boost and Alt. Champ Progress 10/10 with no Alt. Champ Nemesis enabled) because 9/9 games are significantly harder to win compared to before 7.0 but it kept it fun!
And let me just say that the Exodian Blade was hella awesome or in other words,
THIS.
