Wit for kill makes it easier to kill, but that is often not the problem (at least in high level play). The hard part is killing it and coming out ahead in wits. You often have to leave a bunch of units in enemy territory when killing it, which gives the opponent a lot of free wits the next turn.

I agree. I was in one of these games, where the opponent's BS was right there for the picking, but I couldn't attack it because I would leave too many units for the opponent to kill. He had three BS by the way, so killing one does not give me much.

1. I think it's kind of unfair to apply the wit-for-kill changes to existing games. We've been planning our turns in those games for quite a while now, and then suddenly all those plans go out the window. I know we've been warned that an update is coming, but I always thought the changes would be for all NEW games.

2. The new spawn windowlooks good, but yes, after a few seconds, it gets really disturbing looking at the background.

3. I'll reserve my thoughts on the bramble. I haven't found a usefulway to use it yet

I'm sure they would have done it that way (1) if it was possible. There's just no way to have 2 builds running concurrently. Plus you'd have to remember which games were started before the update and which were after. If you have a cue like mine, it would be a nightmare.

Oh well, I might as well make the most of it. Maybe it works to some advantage for me, especially for the games I am losing...LOL
