T110's Second Century of Civilised Comfort

The_Chieftain:   You are confusing 'simplicity' with 'ease'. I didn't say that the new mechanics could be easily calculated in your head on the fly during a game. In fact, anyone who could do it is deserving of my respect.   Case in point. x(pi)*pi = ? It is a very simple formula. The same single forumla is used if x = 1, x =3, x = 6 etc. But if I asked you in the middle of a game to tell me "7(pi)*pi", I'll be surprised if you can tell me the answer. I'm sure you can figure out a general trend, but specifics, no. Such is the case here. You will be able to figure out a rule of thumb, but good luck staking your hitpoints on it. (And, yes, the formula is actually much easier than that, the trick is remembering the variables appropriate to the interaction)
