    I do kind of wonder how certain characters would behave on some of the old maps. Falcon and Blade would actually take full advantage of the super cheap (but super weak) strike tiles on Latvaria.

    It made me laugh. Especially as a victory lap move right before the knockout blow.

    Short answer. The environmental tiles where cool and IMO fairer than current random power for collecting colorless tiles, but....enviornments needed to be seriously balanced and tweaked and redone and it was much cheaper and easier to institute the TU model than take all the time and resources to balance enviornmental tiles. In theory they could easily incoporate the 2 by having different TU's other than character skills. Like 12 TU get +3black/green or 10 TU gain 1000 life, essentially you would be turning Boosts into TU powers but you could have them drop or pay ISO to get. TU's are like what we wished the enviornmental tiles did, but we much more prefered how the enviornmental tiles worked, because you always knew what to expect, instead of, oh I just got TU surgical striked, great.
