The YT war was quite overproduced and shallow overall. The empires did not have personality so no one was able to effectively roleplay (which is the most interesting thing at the beginning and keeps hooked until you enjoy the game as a whole). In fact, roleplaying it makes it enjoyable for any viewer noob or otherwise. It allows to pick a side and root for the philosophy you support or the empire types you like to play with. The war room idea was tacky. Even the room itself they were at was bland and lacked character.

It' a great idea. Aspec evil laugh and enjoying the misery of puny noobs is precious.

I hope they make more and refine it ALOT.
