@MysterySpin, thank you.
I have long been a fan of yours. I really appreciate all the time and effort you put into your posts; I always read the whole thing and I think that those who don’t are really missing out.
Jousts are a great idea and would be a neat next step in the assessing player skill experiment that Jonah and others recently did. Between that and other game suggestions I’ve seen you offer, I can offer no great compliment than this: if I were in charge of the game I would hire you to the a special design team unit and ask that even 10% of what you think get implemented, knowing the game would be much, much better for it.
How do you use Merlin? Is he emblemed? I used to use him a lot and really enjoyed him, but really don’t at all anymore (except for the rare yellow tank wars) because I’m deep in purple and Wizards (Kiril and Proteus are maxed with Isarnia, Victor, Onatel, and Anzogh all vying for the rest).
