Re: Russian Designers ? ?
I used to be a hard core SPWaWH2H player. Something about that version just clicked with me. Its the only SPWAW version I played for many, many years. I think the last time played any SPWaW was about 4-5 years ago if not longer. From what I understand very few play the vanilla SPWaW. They are playing one of many modified versions so that may give the appearance of a larger player base when you combine SPWaW, SPWaWH2H, SPWaW Enhanced. I don't even really know who plays what version of that game anymore other than a few regulars.
Another thing with SPWaW players is that most of them have played the game since it first came out and are real life friends and not just contacts on on the web. Maybe since Matrix had the 1st dedicated SP forums (that were not on Yahoo) it allowed them to pull the majority of SP players to their flag. For me, I regularly visit the SPWaW Depot forums even though I never play SPWaW because many of them are more what I would call friends rather than fellow SP players.
It having been so long since I played SPWaW, I hardly remember most of the differences but there are a couple things about SPWaW I do like better. One of those is abundance of extra building graphics (even though they are only just eyecandy) and the 2nd is the inclusion of the special type victory hexes. Just like TCP/IP capability might be "the thing" for some, the above 2 features are "my thing" especially since I prefer to concentrate on designing and not necessarily playing.
