Love the ideas . It ' s all a little complex for me to take in at once , which makes me wonder if it would go over well with most casuals . I ' m casual with this game but I ' m also a Johnny so I enjoy complexity . But most casuals stop reading when things get complex . If you roll it out slowly , in the right way , it could work . At the very least I like the idea of a game mode that utilizes a map and introduces you to the world because sincerely , fuck the codex . I ' m not going to read that . But without that context I don ' t have any attachment to the factions , they ' re just arbitrary divisions to me , unlike the colors in Magic or the classes in Hearthstone . Anything that could make me more invested seems like a big plus to retention to me .
