Message: <blockquote data-quote="FireLance" data-source="post: 5167442" data-attributes="member: 3424">I think innerdude raises a point here that has not really been addressed so far: Would adding game elements that have a shorter action-reward cycle actually hurt the game if such game elements are not the only ones in the game? Why would their presence detract from other game elements with longer action-reward cycles?To me, being able (or mostly able) to positively affect the outcome of a fight each round (a fairly short action-reward cycle) would not diminish the satisfaction I get from using good tactics to eventually win the fight (a slightly longer action-reward cycle) or from using good strategies to eventually accomplish a long-term campaign goal (an even longer action-reward cycle).It seems to me that as long as a game still rewards creativity, foresight and planning, it should not matter that it also provides regular doses of encouragement on a turn-by-turn basis.</blockquote>
