Thanks for bringing this game to a wider audience. I wouldn’t have even considered it if not for all of the momentum being put behind it by Troy in particular, between the podcast and the Crispy Gamer article. As more of a boardgamer this is right up my ally, and I agree philosophically with a lot of the things Vic is doing here, even having similar elements in my own designs. I really appreciate being “sold on” Solium Infernum, it is a fascinating game.

Thanks for a great podcast. I’ve been looking forward to this for some time, and I lament the fact that I never had a chance to hear your first podcast featuring Vic.

I think that the ai of SI gets knocked a bit more than what is fair. It certainly isn’t a great ai, but it’s just as good, if not better, than that of many other games, including AAA titles (Total War anyone?).

I think one of the problems is that SI games are usually very short, compared to most other strategy games, so the time it takes for the player to realize that he always wins is shorter.

I’m glad you enjoyed the Beast as much as I did, Tom. It’s a shame he suffered that Act of Wrath the other night, but at least he’s in a better place now.

It was great to have Vic back again; I loved hearing his thoughts on the design process and decisions he made for Armageddon Empires, and this time was no different.

Thanks Troy (and the TMA crew) for your constant work on the podcast.

Now I’ve got to wait for Vic Davis’ interpretation of the roguelike genre…
