Re: 1v1 Duels... what are fair nation matches?
It sounds good but I suspect we would end up proving that there is rock-paper-scissors balance in the game. Without other nations to affect the ups and downs in the game, some combos would be pretty pre-decided. Especially since it would only represent the results of that nation on a small map which is very different.
What Id like to see are competitions of Ulm-vs-Ulm and Ermor-vs-Ermor. But that would be such an unusual situation that they would have to change their tactics and it wouldnt prove much.
Maybe someone could create a ladder mod that gives us a single nation which can support everyones play style, and use it as a standard base to test each other.
Or possibly, ladders of Player-vs-AI with a final score being recorded so that player A's score of Ermor-vs-AI could be compared against player B's score of Ermor-vs-AI. Use a very generic AI. Maybe a modded one using indepts.
