I am not sure that we need to handle these concepts through specialized GDL, as is the present case. I don't think I have mentioned this publicly before, but it is my intent (provided there is not too much angst over it) to replace morale and opinions with a more generalized attributes system at some point. I would then see this system being hooked into things like HP and ACP interpolation, combat resolution, etc..., __over a wider range than morale and opinions are currently limited to. -- I think morale and opinion would be better served like this, as would designer-defined variables like "Health" (A more general condition, with which you could simulate the effects of malaria on armies or radiation or whatever), "Stamina", et cetera. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
