Hmm, wonder if anyone will believe me when i say I was *not* trying to set off another round of Ermor strength/weakness debates ? I honestly was not trying to make a debate on that and I am not even necessarily sure myself (though I still have my own opinions on it).
In fact...even if they are somewhat over-powered, whatever you think about it, it would have less effect on games (the ones I have experienced, anyway) then the perception that they are...or whatever it is that causes the game to become World vs. Ermor (I think there are multiple reasons, actually).
In a complex, deep game with good variety, there aer inevitably going ot be balance issues, it's unavoidable and understandable. I *like* the idea that some nations work differently with certain rules. I would certainly not want to see every nation dumbed down into LI and HI
The only thing I don't like is that Ermor, in a large game, makes games play pretty similary. Frankly, other than just not playing large games, I don't even have a solution ! Yeah, shoot me, it was just a comment, should have known it would turn into an Ermor pro/con debate
