After all its the point of the mini-game to get something done with
the engine as it is now, waiting until the engine has been fix will
simply takes too long. A indpendend mini-game would opens the
opportunity to get something done now, without much need for extra
gfx, some simply .ccl stuff should do.

Yep, and thats why I think doing the Milestone I now at this point
will take to long.

We would need the graphics for the heros, which is already quite a
good show stopper, especially since they shouldn't look different in
each and every milestone. Beside that the stuff described in
http://www.nongnu.org/aleona/campaign.html could really make use of
some hooks in the engine, which currently simply do not exist.

An independent mini-game would also give the opportunity to try
something unrelated to the main story line, so we wouldn't have to fix
any of it, but simply could do whatever we like. Afer all I don't
really like to fix anything of the story, if we don't even have a real
team.
