Default Re: "Gamey" tactics like "Rock, none" races

Yeah, the whole combat system would be a lot more balanced and less easily lopsided if the to-hit factors were actually factors (that multiply) instead of additive stacking modifiers. I've ranted and explicated that to MM until I finally gave up.

Anyway, I'll make a balance mod that only affects the racial point costs in the otherwise-unmodded game. Not that there would be only one way to do it, but I think I can come up with something pretty reasonable, or at least a big improvement. I'll start a new thread soliciting opinions. Then people can re-argue all the balance issues.

Oh, and as for MM not fixing the balance in patches, I think he's tried to limit changes to the basic game except where really necessary, because of the effects on existing games, and in breaking people's favorite tactics. Even with what little has been changed, there have already been some players who got bothered by some of the changes to the system.
