Well, that's good. I meant it when I said I was cool with it being well thought of, it doesn't bother me at all that my fun =/= everyone else's fun.

I didn't like how much it changed the game. I thought that the original struck an excellent balance between following the novel and being a playable game. I felt like the foe track/military victory deviated strongly from that, and the moderately increased strategic depth wasn't worth the trade. It was also, as has been pointed out, not well balanced.

Edit: It's late, and I'm not expressing myself well. I'm trying to say that I'm interested in hearing anything else you have to say. (The original text made it sound like I hadn't read the review, but I have.) Sorry.
