But the open games somehow didn't quite work. I'd either get totally (pardon me) cockblocked on an important early resource by the AIs or we would all settle happily onto our islands with everything we needed and... what? Peacefully develop until we got tired? I plan on getting DoD(DS) eventually to see if this is improved, but it's a little too soon considering that I don't think the two games are terribly different. Looking forward to Venice, though! DoD was my favorite game of last year (couldn't pick something else after I played 85+ hours of it).
