| I like the reasoning here. However, I hope that things wont swing the other way too far... having a list for every small faction so that an Alaitoc force uses an Alaitoc list which is very specific and results in all Alaitoc armies being the same. Also, what about people who want to construct a vanilla force? |
Neal,
I was thinking when I read the part about DBM that in that game system all of the armies built from a specific list are about the same. The choices and differences come from the fact there are 100's of lists.
So if Jervis can work this out and do so fast enough then; if dafrca wants to play a space marine army and does not want it to be the same as Neal?s he just uses a different list then Neal.
If (and this is a big if) there are, say, 8 different Eldar lists open to the player I do not have as big a problem with all the Alaitoc armies being close in style and make-up. If I want my Eldar to be different then I take a different list. But if there are only one or two then I need the list to be closer to the "vanilla" list format.
Of course my willingness to support this kind of thing is based on the speed of these lists being published. With DBM there are a couple of books with 100s of lists so with one book bought dafrca has a lot of choices from the start.
Of course there are a lot of "if" statements found in my opinion, so we will have to see if Jervis can pull it off ?
