...okay, so I enjoy the first couple of segments of Spore. The creature-and-nests stage can be pretty fun, as I found out when I decided to try making a carnivore. He kind of sucked at making allies, so I started just exterminating stuff out of frustration. Once I gave him a pack of his own kind, rather than of allies, it became very, very fun, in a “don’t go into the long grass!” way, with Bitsi & Co. taking the role of the velociraptors.
They were easily taking down rogue critters, and taking on multiple creatures at a time by the end (helped they were all at 100 morale while most of their opponents were still down in the 30-40 range). They earned ridiculous amounts of DNA points and were maxed out on most non-social skills before I finally gave in and let them move on to tribal.
