I just want to take this opportunity to BEG that when you bring in
SCUM Eric that you don't make him as INSANELY powerful as he was in BB. I admit to being one of the anti-Eric people, but a large part of that was how EXCESSIVE his abilities to destroy Max were. My unasked for and completely ignorable suggestion would be to start him weak, and then seek to find a comfortable balance. That would allow the widest group of players to enjoy the game as they want (and save me from needing to cry quietly in a corner).
I look forward to trying your game (I intend to give it a shot in the next update or 2, but Stupid real life is stupid).
Just a thought.
