Ok, here's an idea for the metaverse that could make things a lot more interesting.
What if we included an iron man game mode. The game would be auto-saved at the end of each turn, but normal saving wouldn't be permitted, and no previous auto-save would be available. In this way you can make it so that the player can't reload, and has to deal with the consequences of a bad decision of a surprise attack. Of course, there would also be a significant score bonus to people who played iron man on the metaverse.
What do you think?
