Well, it can be proposed an ULTIMA modification by committee, but it is the need to stablish what the objectives are. Some of us want aggressive games, others can be inclined to clarity, or a balanced game, or looking for special dynamics. My position is near Peter´s: there is some variety of well thought games, each one with a particularity, trying to correct problems as interpreted by the developers with the own optics of each one. Sincerelly, I think that all of them are very good games, as it is, in its style, ULTIMA. New good variants can come, and some of them can be good games too. It is always possible to work in a collective project to modify ULTIMA rules mantaining as possible its original essence. The process need to be clarified in base to objectives previously stablished, and it is imperative a methodic testing of the results. Is it necessary?. Think in the answer to this question, and then make suggestions, if it is the case, some of us may be interested in collaborate in the project. For a while, I´m going to continue enjoying Rococo, Stupid, Optima, Maxima, and ULTIMA. Certainly, I like these games, all of them are enjoyable.
