While I'm sure software constraints of the '80s had a lot to do with it, the truth is 10 brigade types was plenty in the 1st and 2nd Cycle. There really wasn't that many brig types back then and nor were they needed as there weren't any Legondaries to overcome.

Today we have companions and so many more recruitable/summonable types and training levels and a higher need for larger armies that many groups are busting. The cap needs to be lifted. Or at the very least put all 4 training levels into 1 brig slot.

John

For phone gamers, that's probably a good thing.

For desktop PC gamers, ugh.

I don't think that Robert was an Alamaze programmer. He programmed other PBM game(s), as far as I know. Luty can correct me on this, if I am wrong about it.

I was the developer of "Cluster". I was only theorizing (albeit knowledgeably so) on Alamaze per se.

1) The ability to station leaders and wizards at popcenters, where naturally their bonuses and spells will be used in battles against groups.

and

2) A spell that allows you to teleport emissaries or agents anywhere on the map. If a wizard can teleport an army group than surely they can teleport a single figure.

No brainers.

Agreed
