It feels like offering the same prize twice per year really floods the playing field with a certain prize. I think it would be nice to rotate prizes or a 4 or 5 year basis to help eliminate stacking and flooding. Some of the old cool prizes could be brought back as well.

Something like:
Year1:
Favs, 10 learned skills, Res/Immortality, Team Stat-Swap

Year 2:
Clone/Twin, Super Team, DYO, Shrink/Grow

Year 3
Bonus Pots, Ambi Potions, Frankenstein, 5 stat trains

Year 4:
Max Damage, 87 Point Warrior, Style Swap, Stat-Switch Potions


With 4 more prizes things could be spread out over a 5 year period. And maybe the prizes for a specific year could be randomized so sometimes they are for a face and sometimes for a MI, etc.

Thoughts?

Style swap won't be back because it was too powerful.
Super team and 87 point warrior shouldn't be back because they were too weak.
Ambi potions probably won't be back because many managers thought they were too weak.

I'd vote to bring them all back. Weak and strong. Having them offered once every 4 or 5 years will dilute their strength.

And I bet that a style swap these days would make almost no difference. *edit In primus*) I think it can be argued that it is weaker than a frankenstein. I can think of only 1 warrior in the game that it would be really cool to use on.

( *edit* it would be dang cool in Basic though)

I can think of two. You're probably forgetting one. Razz

It would be a very hot item for those wishing to sell or buy.
