Exploit question

[Micah]

You didn't play in Prepo or Artifacts as far as I know, and thus haven't been involved in some of the more famous train wrecks that gens have caused. I thought they were a pretty spiffy idea for a while myself (generally because I was the only one using them and they seemed like a great tool to let me win), but extensive experience has taught me otherwise. Can you point me to an MP game in which both you and an opponent have had well over 300 gens each? In artifacts I know that I got to the point where I was mass spamming juggernauts to go for a dom win because I considered winning through military means to be nearly impossible due to the combined might of first turn defensive advantage and gens making raiding pointless.

Saying that they provide more options, while technically true, is also a great justification for playing with the debug mod on. You have SO MANY options then, and national troops don't matter at all, so it's almost perfectly balanced! Doesn't make for a good game though.
