Why would casual players enjoy having to consider more variables? I don't really see the reasoning. For high level players it's just a matter of adapting to the change and then continuing to play competitively. For casual players it's a matter of being even worse at the game or having to become less 'casual' and consider the increased number of scenarios for each turn.

I think casual players don't really think too far ahead. I mean, they're casual. They might actually enjoy this new mechanic more, since if they kill a unit, then "Whoa! I get an additional wit!".

As for the experienced players, yes, it's just a new mechanic that we will have to get used to. I guess it's just kind of weird that this new mechanic comes after we've played so many games with the old rules.

All this talk about the new mechanic is making me anxious...I wish I was in the beta!
