FTA improperly countered.

1 infantry does not perfectly counter 2000 starting funds.

Also: try making maps bigger than 100 squares.

There's no such thing as perfect balance. Get over it.

Really small and seemingly unfun map and HEI WAT R LAB YOONITS

Also, swastika. >>>>>:OOOO

Actually I think 1 inf 2k funds is better than 1 inf 3k funds. BM gets EXACTLY half a turn of
production and EXACTLY half fund advantage unit-cost-wise. Isn't the ideal for perfect
balance defined as each country alternating between being ahead half a turn and behind
half a turn?

WAAAAY too small.

after OS 1st turn:
2000 total funds collected, 2 total units, 2 properties owned


after BM 1st turn:
2000 total funds collected, 3 total units, 2 properties owned


after OS 2nd turn:
4000 total funds collected, 4 total units, 2 properties owned


after BM 2nd turn:
4000 total funds collected, 5 total units, 3 properties owned


after OS 3rd turn:
6000 total funds collected, 6 total units, 4 properties owned


after BM 3rd turn:
7000 total funds collected, 7 total units, 5 properties owned


after OS 4th turn:
10 000 total funds collected, 8 total units, 6 properties owned


after BM 4th turn:
12 000 total funds collected, 9 total units, 8 properties owned

(Obviously these numbers are only if the players don't attack each other)

This seems to me to be about as fair as you can get. Can you really say OS has an
advantage here?

ps: there are lots of maps larger than 100 squares on this site. Once I have a good feel for
balance and playability on small maps I'll move up to larger ones.
nerd-boy (01/15/2008 05:13pm):
Can you say BM doesn't?

While the counter may work better on larger maps, it certainly doesn't work on this map
(BM can get recons out more easily than OS, and disrupt counters).

I'd suggest starting with 15x15 maps and working your way up from there. Small maps (7x7
et all) are just not good starting points.

Neither player can realistically afford a recon on turn 3. OS can afford one on turn 4, but
only if he makes nothing else. BM can easily afford one on turn 4. Seems fair to me. After
all, *someone* has to make the first recon.
rast2 (04/23/2008 09:22pm):
rearranged some properties...

well said, amthc356
