The idea of this game interests me – it’s just the piss-poor interface and apparently completely passive AI that turn me off

The graphics look amazing. The gameplay sounds a bit dull though. Is there bullet time?

Mikeinside: I always found that the game Illuminati is one of the most competitive, heartlesss and backstabby boardgames I have ever played. I love it!

… although I SUPPOSE you could maybe just send savegames from the “hotseat”-option around and play it that way with only one key. it would be a drag, though, and you’d have to really trust your fellow players (yeah … right) not to take those vital sneak peeks at your build. so basically, this wouldn’t work. copy protection by social engineering rules.

Some sort of clone version that can only play against it’s origin could have been a good idea. Possibly restricting the game to one clone per original too. Could have called it Hellspawn.

Thanks KG, will check it out. It’s been a while since I’ve gathered skulls for the throne of Khorne.

Oh. Jah, you can claim empty cantons, but to do so you have to move a legion into them, which both drags your legion away from important areas and takes up an order.

Unless you’re trying to create a buffer zone between you and another player, you’re creating trouble for yourself. The prestige bonus for cantons owned is very small, and one of the options when you’re starting a vendetta is claiming a set number of enemy cantons. The more cantons you have, the bigger a target you are in a number of ways.

Are there board games that have this kind of vibe to them? I have a hankering for oldschool in-person backstabbing =p Let me know.

So if you think about it, the world in this is actually shaped like a donut
