DEWAN'S PROFILE

It's interesting, I've already thought about how to reduce the importance of battling.

Battle for improving caracters who fight better.
Win soccer match to buy better player to win more.
Build to earn money to build more lucrative building.
Improve a skill ( like science, sneaking or speaking ) to use more of this skill.
eat to eat more...hmm...nothing to do with.

Is it not the same pattern ? or is it just the "killing" that bother you...
( I'm thinking without the storyline, just gameplay, something universally entertaining )
But it's true that the "allmightiness" of battle bother me a little. It'll be good to find an other way.
