Well, not exactly. I would like to be able to play without using magic
myself (any form) or encountering it. It isn't that I want something more
interesting so much as I really prefer historical. My idea on this is that
on entering the game (no other time) a player can choose to either have the
use of magic, creatures, etc, or choose to have a block of all such things
on his grid square at all times. I think this would also add more depth, eg
player 1 has really strong wizards and all the spells in the list you are
drafting. He destroys all the people he meets using mainly magic then
suddenly he steps on the grid square I occupy (and therefor can't use magic)
and realizes his team isn't that well rounded : )

I would like to see a lot more revenue based around the MM. Also I think
this would help a lot with missions being given by people in the game. Eg I
sell apples in my green grocer, when I have sold my stock I offer a set sum
(game money of course) for more, then some adventurer goes out to find them
and get his take. (sub anything you want for apples). Some of these might be
easy quests (apples), some hard (jewels).

Well I think this would be nifty. I think the best aspect of this would
be discovering new products.
God Bless,
