What's germans unique side, good shipments with larger shipment costs. I can see shipment cost change is bad, but changing shipment arrival time still makes good shipments avaible but German's op shipment steamroll weaker. A shipment delay like 10s would make SW boom (2 SW 3 SW) gather 100 res less .....

Ports used to be garbage on RE and they'd just rely purely on getting a good mam pop to hold and win. It's not healthy, it makes the civ one dimensional and predictable. It's lik .....

It's still possible to make game more diverse and competitive with crate, it's so simple cant understand why anyone can be against it. Make crate spawns fixed according to map with same principle, thus while playing ESOC maps you can get any start as always; however in tourneys you would prepeare fo .....

Well i thinks its good falcs get buffed by pull trick since they are relatively unpopular. And its quite exciting to see these moves. However for other classes, as mentioned, melee units are disfavored by pull trick which were already weak. I agree it's a cool mechanic and makes game more interestin .....

Well a kinda accept physocologically and cause of civ pool counterpick may allow to comeback in tourneys. But i wonder if that was the case if we just take into account skill, affect of counter pick, and number of matchs played as arbitrary values.
Here is the code for the purpose:

Also GS's scenario is also possible in alternate pick, regarding his momentum statement.

P1: OP P2:Bad
Game 1: P1 wins He is just good
Game 2: P1 wins (p2 picks first) OP
Game 3: P2 wins ( P1 picks first) Countered, lol?
Game 4: P2 wins (p2 picks first) Oh too sad, not prepeared for map bad player wins. .....

Yeah i dont think it increases change of winning series,
since worse starts to win more, picking format gets close to alternate picking in terms of picking counts. However since worse player always have an advantage of counterpick as long as he loses; games will be closer since worse player always h .....
