I mean for sure a 30% margin would be nice in real life, but in a game where I have to sit for 2 minutes just for the thing to hatch, I'd appreciate a faster gameplay.

Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
Another thing i would like to see is Possibly like a campaign system for the fight's cause I feel as if my Creatures are already over powered.
