[SixOfSpades]

After I posted my Tactics Review, he actually made a lot of changes (such as the fact that Improved Ilyich is staffed with Duergar now, instead of Shadow Thieves), which are listed in the README-SixOfSpades.txt file that comes with the more recent versions of Tactics.

While I changed his mind on some things, he remained unconvinced on others--which I can understand, I'm not trying to style myself as the ultimate authority on game balance. The one area in which I think he fell short is his willingness to make changes to those components designed by other people, such as Kensai Ryu's Gnome Illusionst and Mike Barnes's Small Teeth Pass. I feel that if you bundle something in with your own stuff, you have an obligation to ensure that that it's just as good as what you wrote--because if it isn't, your reputation suffers from the association. But, then again, I also respect Weimer's decision to let the original modders have the final say in what goes on in their components.

Weimer has either not seen or not responded to any feedback from me in regards to Tougher Demons, Improved Druid Grove, or Improved Fire Giants, as these components were added after I wrote my Review. I haven't heard from Weimer in quite some time, as he seems to have disappeared for a while....either because he's busy with real-life stuff, or because he's tired of listening to me piss & moan.
