Default Fundamentals and Gamey

Call me crazy, call me dumb and not a sport, but its not the way for a game that was meant to bring RP aspect into a non-RP world wit gamey tactics and calling them "fundamentals" as Geo stated somewhere.

You all should by now know what im talking about.
Max tech? ok, 50% intilligence. Always 50% on ground combat and political savvy unless its a REAL long going game. As well, 51% in ER wont hurt, you'll just get it from the reproduction.

The points? Its aint no fun. While i agree its fully agreeable by the game it is similar to cheating in other games. Dont get too excited, i will explain myself.

What is cheating, speaking from a non-cheater perspective? This is a serious edge for the other player that makes it a sure win for him. You can win, but only if you cheat.

Why am i saying this? For KOTH people been maxing out their attack/defense and taking berzerker race ending up with a nice 130% base chance to hit and to not be hit. The point, in this case unless you choose the same thing you're screwed. You simply cannot hit someone (well, not as much as needed) with a base of 130% defense unless you have 130% attack yourself, and vice versa - you cannot survive his onslaught with 130% base attack if you dont take 130% defense yourself.

I agree that by coincidence and luck and brilliant mind this *MIGHT* be overcomed but thats not the way.

I know im opening a big can of worms, but i just can not not post it.
