floorlicker asked: Has the original Idea for the Ascendancy cycle (the one where they were "empires" with their own HP, etc.) Been canned forever, or is it possible we'll see the idea again? It sounded really interesting to me and I'd love to explore more of the concept.

The reason we didn’t do it was because it didn’t play well. Perhaps we’ll figure out a better way to do it in the future.
