Thanks again for the info, but this is part of the thing that gets to me about a lot of games.
I get really frustrated when it feels like I need to become an expert before I can actually play the game. Sometimes I think the designers and devs become way too close to the game, and what they take for granted is a mountain of a learning curve.
Help the noobs!
What sort of hellish, dystopian 1984 are we becoming?
I remember people used to be horrified about the lack of rights and excessive powers in China, and meanwhile the politicos are "That sounds great! Let's get it running ASAP!"
