"The advantage of doing that kind of system with triggers is that it is much more versatile, in the sense that you can easily modify the conditions of the reward." I'm not sure what the importance of this is. Other than killing an enemy unit, what other condition would you need? -- DevliN 04:15, 26 November 2010 (PST)
