I don't think the game is drastically imbalenced. I'm arguing against the catastrophist approach that the scales need drastic fixing.

And you may not have said that; I do need to reread things more carefully; I got the wrong idea on what you said. You want to keep the scales now as opposed to the stricter MP balance that was in Dom1.

Thats right I perfer the new scales because they free up points for pretenders compared to the old scales to a total of 120-160. In the old days order 3 plus luck 0 or often +1 was the norm. The new norm is order 3 misfotune 3 - but that doesn't mean there arn't variations and hopefully Barbarian Kings will become another good turmoil option.

I see no reason why turmoil should be a good option for classic order races (Arco/Pythium), or even a balenced choice. Some choices suit some races better than others and so it should be.

If I missed the boat, then I was swimming over here in the sea of irony that has alot of miscommunication of different culture/countries verbal usage and sentance structure.

Hey thats cool man. I generally edit out all the juicy/confusing/ironic bits before hitting "add reply" but I do like to think people get a feel for me over time and will cut me some slack to play around with. Trouble when I keep it dry all the time is I can come across like a lecturer so its a hard balence to maintain.
