"If you're not allowed to play, that makes it challenging!"
"We want to challenge our players so we're going to make sure they're not allowed to play! All AI units will have 15 turns for each turn had by a unit controlled by a character! And during their 15 turns, they;ll heal the damage the player did in their one turn and power up even more! What a challenge that you can't do anything! And every single challenge in the game will be the same! Amazing!
"Yes, we could create different and varied challenges if we wanted to but where's the fun in that? Much more challenging to just not allow the players to play at all! And if they are powerful enough that they can win in the 7 turns we allow them in 5 minutes, the next challenge will be exactly the same! Woohoo!
"Yes, we could use the mechanics of, for example, the Galactic Conquest to come up with all sorts of different Modifiers but it's far easier for us to just not let you play.
"Yes, we could have Modifiers that aren't restricted by faction that don't involve making it impossible for you to do anything. We could have all sorts of wonderful options like 'all enemies are immune to damage from Galactic Legends' or 'at the start of the enemy leader turn, dispel all debuffs on all enemies' or 'all enemies take half damage unless they have the Armor Shred debuff' or 'each time an enemy unit is revived, all player units get a Damage Over Time'. Imagine that last one on Nighstsisters instead of just giving them +3,000% Speed! What a different gmaeplay experience that would create!
"But nah, we don't want to do that. Much more challenging to just not let the players play at all."
