THe AI itself wouldn't be up to that.<br /><br />You can give your team new tactical goals at timeouts (like a football manager talking to his players at halftime) but as for dropping stuff onto the field - that's a different game, and not one that'd likely make an interesting spectator sport.Dave Morrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14468228790874490693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2141372262111342844.post-79323230616531068752013-07-16T16:04:50.270+01:002013-07-16T16:04:50.270+01:00Would the myrmidons have weapons?

Taking out the bit about screening episodes would kind of miss the point, but there's no longer any need to remove it. A decade ago I still had to talk to networks like the BBC. Now, the complete package can be delivered online - whether you want to get involved in managing, training and competing myrmidons, or just sit back and watch the game.Dave Morrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14468228790874490693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2141372262111342844.post-68607870275107123852013-07-04T09:11:01.106+01:002013-07-04T09:11:01.106+01:00Sounds great, except for the bit that involves tie...Sounds great, except for the bit that involves tieing it to a TV show and pitching it to a broadcaster - thus creating an impassable bureaucratic bottleneck.
