[QUOTE="Maxperson, post: 7595379, member: 23751"] It's right here... You don't pre-author, so your style has that inherent weakness. If there are a tribe of orcs down the trail of both your game and [MENTION=29398]Lanefan[/MENTION]'s, only in his game will I be able to find orc tracks down the right path if the tribe has not been authored yet in yours. Once you author the tribe, the lack of tracks is a glaring inconsistency to [MENTION=29398]Lanefan[/MENTION]. These sorts of inconsistencies will grow and grow as your game goes on and more and more is authored. It's a weakness of your playstyle and a strength of his, just as your playstyle has strengths that his doesn't and his has weaknesses that yours doesn't. It's not some slight against you that your style is weak in areas. All styles have strengths and weaknesses. This is just one of yours. Just as he knows that yours is weak in areas that he finds important. For my part, I'm more forgiving than he is. My game falls in-between both of yours, though probably closer to his. [/QUOTE]
