Well Amanda
Diplomacy is not your strong point as far as I can see
I must confess that I did not find so many advantages of A7 over A6
Except of course the new lite-c programming language
I dont fully agree with you
There are a lot of good scripting language around, that's true but you must also integrate the language in the engine
No problem to load prefabricated models
No particular bad points , not at least so serious to prevent you from finishing a game
But this was true also for A6
3DGS is well known for its stability
