by korxonthos Perhaps, although I think it's much better just to take the influence and use some of the influence to get another hero. That almost always seems like a good choice.

by korxonthos I've been noticing that a good number of Runewars fans have a negative or disinterested opinion of Eclipse. Is this phenomenon somewhat comparable to a person who has tasted gourmet food...

by gecko1919 I like them both but they are different. Usually the economic aspect of eclipse kills it for some.

by MScrivner I don't really dislike Eclipse. I would just rather play Twilight Imperium or Runewars (or really, if I am going to play a science fiction themed game, High Frontier.) I feel like Eclipse...

by Random_Phobosis I don't hate eurogames and I don't like bloated 8-hour-monsters, so I'm not actually an ameritrash fanboy as such, but I don't think Eclipse is a good game.The most serious crime of...
