Haha I was reading the 3000+ words in the official post earlier in the day and I lost my way halfway through... Really too much information packed in a single post - I probably need to re-read a few times this weekend.
Agree with you that the new stuff does make the game more complex. For hardcore fans, I think they will love it. But for casual players like me, I am not too sure, haha! But we will see.
Yeah - could have been two posts - or three. Would be nice to have more options on how to create post series that link well together.
