Battle specifics.  I am all about some battle specifics.  Though, I wouldn't be disappointed if adventure mode was the talking point.

Maybe we should have a vote to retain the other two choices after the next video.

Aye, the 2 choices that don't make it into this one should get carried over to the next one, pre or post new release.

This will likely happen, if the votes are close enough.  We'll see!   ;D

Edit:  It is not looking close right now, unlike some of the other votes.  Speculate away!

All of the options are so interresting, i just couldnt decide i would like to know how the game calculates where you get hit, what new stuff you can do in adv. mode and the twisted cultures.

But i finally decided on the cultures since it sounds like more variability in the game (without moding).

Adventure mode.

Gaaah... adventure mode... procedural culture... procedural culture... adventure mode... so hard... I voted for Adventure Mode, thought about it, removed the vote, gave it to Culture... and who knows, I might switch them again... they're both so interesting!  Then again, I think we'll get more about adventure mode from procedural culture than vice versa, so...

Definitely want all three.  I voted for Combat, because I want a little more detail on exactly how the new physics system works, and also how the wound system works, but I also REALLY want to know about the cultural changes... and of course, adventure mode doesn't get enough love, so I want that too...

I may waffle and change my vote later.  They're just all so interesting.

Yeah what I mean by reusing them isn't that I think the vote will be close

It is that I think the other two choices are just brimmed with excellence.

I agree. My vote could have gone any way in this. I just really like procedural culture...
