Anyone play Eador: Genesis?

[Nivim]

Apologies for vanishing, and for thread necromancy, but I hope for this to be clear enough to make up for it.

I am fairly sure I'm talking about the "until suddenly it's time to go to work" part; I mean-- you don't find it at all scary to lose consciousness to some impulse like that? It feels like a little death, so I almost instinctually try to find some defense against its influence; a mental structure analogous to a "pre-set turn limit" which clamps off the harm the habit can do to me. The crux of this issue, and perhaps the reason I failed to respond so long ago, is that I find it disturbing (at around the level of "watching a 30-year-old at the store act just like a 4-year-old") that this set of fear, feeling, instinct, and defense doesn't even seem to have counterparts in the people here.
The whole experience has been vaguely like going out onto a balcony in the dark, reaching for the railing, and finding nothing there.

Moreover...there's a part of me that does not want to hear the response to this, because I imagine it will be retaliatory, strained, or flippant; no responses one should make a person want to write.

Sorry.

I hate that addictive "just one more level..." feeling. I love games that provide natural stopping points.

I'm designing Halls of Mist mostly for myself. I only play one dungeon level per day and stop after that. Actually I only play after doing sports -- playing Mist is a good reward for myself!

I'm trying to make sure that each dungeon level is an interesting challenge by itself, and provides enough fun decisions for the player to make. I want myself to feel happy about playing my daily dungeon level. I want to meet monsters that will kill me unless I use my inventory and the randomly generated battleground wisely.

I guess I'm more interested in balancing individual dungeon levels so that playing never feels too easy than balancing the whole game from beginning to winning... Each dungeon level should be a mini-roguelike, a separate strategic/tactical puzzle.

The main reason I like it is the insane number of spells.

I liked the Dominions games but aren't they multiplayer-only? I don't think they had any AI to speak of.
