[QUOTE="niklinna, post: 8965541, member: 71235"] These are some very cool ideas! Clearly more about game as such than verisimilitude, but I bet there's a goodly amount of space where the two can overlap (and as you've shown, they don't [I]have to[/I], at least for some people). But just making the experiments is sure to stoke creativity in other ways. I've been playing Torg Eternity for a while, and they made something approaching an attempt at this where their initiative cards add a benefit or restriction to the action each round, but something about it just falls flat. Maybe I will get some ideas how to make that actually fun. Reminds me of when I played Myth: The Fallen Lords, back in the day. You couldn't alter the gameplay as such (no modding), but I made it a personal goal to finish each mission with absolutely no casualties, once I realized it might be possible due to a particular type of enemy unit that exploded in a LARGE radius when killed.
