If you don't like the ideas I'm proposing, please give specific, clear
reasons why you dislike them. I don't want this thread turning into a
flame war. If you're not going to explain exactly why you like or
dislike the project, take your post to another thread. Thank you.

And as far as wxforecaster's message goes, SMMT, while his English may
be horrific, has been the only one to explain his view of the project
in detail. If you read my response to his response, you will see that
I give some reasons for the changes I made. Perhaps most important is
the elaboration of the strategy involved in the new combat system.
Please fully read my post and my response to SMMT's post before
replying to this thread.
