If you win a fight, you then get to pick a stat to increase. After some number of victories, you increase in level.

You may want to change your random text picker to a less-than-random text picker, so you never get the same result twice in a row. Or no repeats in the last five or something.

I will probably play it at least as much as I played Necrotic Drift, regardless of how redundently displayed the combat descriptions are displayed over and over.

        Wargames can afford to be open about their mechanics because they actually have by some. RPGs don't have that luxury. 03/21/2011, 2:10pm PDT NEW
