Revamping the game

Ok, I have been reading thru almost 2 weeks of everyone's "best" ideas of how
to balance the games.

How do we know they are unbalanced?

What actual data has been released to show that;
A) one side wins more often than others,
and B) certain nations win more than others?

I would like to see some actual statistics, based upon alarge enough data
base, before we all go jumping on the bandwagon to change everything. And
don't recite GSI/DGE's "data" that appeared to include info from both pre-
and ante- early rules changes .

Yes, everyone who has played the games for years (5 years in 1650 myself) has
their ideas on what may or may not be out of whack. But until I see some
real data, not everyone's assumptions, I'm not ready to possibly kill the
goose laying the golden eggs.

So, how about it Harlequin?

Yeh sometime soon :slight_smile: Basically once I have worked through the set-ups,
then done all the equipment, then contacted the Low funders, then created a
Bree then I will look through the data. :slight_smile: (Big smiley one)
