Please hold a spot for me and I'll try to decide tonight if I'm in and select a race from what's available.

My fav race so far is Agartha but I'm always willing to throw some training wheels on a new race and give it a spin.

Also, to support my vote for the scales/research settings, Id like to point out that adjusting both is more balanced than adjusting 1

If you slow down research then you are giving bless strats a boost, whereas if you increase income/resources then you give scales a boost (since each additional +6% from Order becomes effectively +8% for example, and each -6% from sloth becomes -8% after the + 25% modifier and so on for the rest of the scales).

Doing both changes keeps the bless strat nations balanced with the Eco/research nations.

I'm inclined to agree with Excist, if we're going to go with slower research, which it sounds like most everyone wants. I think a slight bump in income is in order.

I think 125 is a good compromise. It doesn't end up being to dramatic but it does help the scales builds early.
