This looks cool.

[FunkMonk]

The Babylon 5 scenario sounds neat and would entice me back into the game.

[jimmy olsen]

About the Scourge or your slurs towards those who may have developmental disorders?

The later

I don't know.  I worry it sounds sort of skeletonised and how often is it really occurring. Would be better if they were working on more common, broad content.

[Martinus]

I like the Fallen Empire features.

[Martinus]

Scourge showed up a second time.

Pretty nasty term there Tim, I'd have hoped you could be more respectful.

Have we really stooped so low on Languish that we will now enforce not using the "R" word, or are you joking?

Are you defending Tim?

Fair point, though it looks like it is being worked in conjunction with the total overhaul of fallen empires.

I'd much rather they work on an actual trade system.

Yeah, I won't say that I have any issue with them making fallen empires better, it's just that it is a little concerning that unless they are holding back on large things, they don't seem to be focusing on what's missing. So notion of Shadow vs. Vorlon war is cool (as is fixes to Fallen Empires) but doesn't really address middle game tedium.

[Martinus]

I disagree, garbon - the fallen empire bit is exactly one way to make mid game eventful.

[garbon]

Sorry, my sentence had continued but I deleted it. I had a bit how I think it'd be ridiculous if some sort of Fallen Empire battling was always expected in the mid-game.

[Grey Fox]

Isn't this Empire idea just another form of the end game?

[celedhring]

No, by endgame Fallen Empires are pushovers.

[Grey Fox]

Oh. The crisis really sucks eh.

[celedhring]

Well, if it's something that pops up mid-game it can potentially make for a fun save I guess. But as garbon says, you just can't rely on that single event to liven up every single save.

So far this patch seem to have a bunch of nice changes, but none that fundamentally addresses the mid-game dullness issue.
