    Yech! Don't like the " you'll hate" points at all.

    Harshly punishes mistakes - I hope this won't be one of those games that are so hard that you can never make it past a certain point, or have to replay it a dozen times until you get lucky. That'll kill it for me.

    Cumbersome health recovery - That's ok, I guess, but again, like in my previous point, don't make it so difficult it just gets frustrating or annoying.

    Hopefully the easiest setting will make it enjoyable to play. I prefer an easy setting that depletes health a lot more slowly than the harder settings, offers more opportunity to refresh, but don't dumb down the AI much if at all. I'd rather battle effective AI with the ability to take on more damage than have dumb AI.

    This sounds great actually. Sounds like you will actually need to use your brain to do well in it. Sign me up, I love difficult games.
