Bringing this to a new thread, the tangent was AW rebalancing
and a trend to tie things to SS, with pros/cons.... ( from beta thread )
I still ask, is SS a good metric to tie rebalancing to ?
( SS+ 78 is projected to +234 , 9005-9239 , +2.599 % )

SS + # +++ in SS from-to +++ in SS as % of Chapter Elf HumanAs you can see as CH goes up, % of your current SS for each SS+
decreases.... and by the chart CH4 has no optional researches
and increases by 99 or 70.213%... that means your available squads
decrease by that amount..... if you start with 100 squads, looking
at CH4 , you effectively end up with 29 squads by doing those
(3) SS inc researches. If your recoup rate of troops was 1 day,
that increase pushes that out to 1d 16.85 hrs.
One wrinkle here is if you skip lets say SS+9 , when you do
SS+10 .... instead of a 27 increase its a 30 increase.
What Im trying to show here is :
the higher your CH, the less each SS+ hurts you .... both in
avail squads but also in recoup time with equal armories.
By end of CH21, (21) optional SS+ researches are possible,
so tie'n buffs to SS not CH, is inherantly imbalanced. If ALL
SS+'s were lets say +10%, Inno wouldn't inversely hurt
lower CH players more than higher CH players.
IF "placed expansions" didn't hurt a player in any of the
calculations, then sure..... ya get expansions each CH +
the ones for map progression..... So that allows the ability
to add/upgrade armories and training bldgs in terms
of needing more pop/culture to do it...... BUT we all know
that "placed land" does make a huge difference in Spire
catering calcs, almost making catering the Spire way too
expensive quickly if ya place all the land ya can.
This allows 1 playstyle to be :
Skip ALL optional researches, and only place Land when
its absolutely necessary. ( lean/mean approach )
( I guess this is also why I have Never had AWs either )
Just looking @ engame players..... 1 might do all (79) SS+'s
while another might do only (58) SS+'s. Because of the
addition of TheCauldron, thats less likely now, but possible.
7000ish SS versus 9300ish SS is huge, 25% less.
Still think SS is a good metric to tie stuff to ?????
(edited , para 3 , to +10%)
