Losing is definitly the funnest part of the game. Games that can only be won are boring. I think the reason I love this game so much is because I started playing it 6 years ago and finally beat it last year. Thats not playing it constantly and I lost my saves all the time but the point is I had a kick donkey time playing it over and over again. Actually now that I have beat it I wish I didn't because I would still be playing the heck out of it. The whole experience relies on this, the concept of losing. I get my donkey kicked all the time in the game, thats the fun in it. You just rebuild and reconquer. Keep the planet clean and kick donkey.
