That's different. I'm opposed to nerfing in this specific iteration, I think it would be more beneficial to move cursors in only one direction, so to speak. Obviously you would nerf something which was overbuffed but nothing really deserves that I think, not even Ports. I think they're probably the best civ, but the margin is again, oh so thin, that I would simply not nerf them this iteration and focus solely on bringing the underwhelming civs up to speed.
I'm against the principle of nerfing any civ for the time being because balance is in a good spot, but it looks like we won't be getting that this iteration and that Ports are going to get changed anyway. Which is something I'll live with, I'm not the only guy playing the game after all (actually I'm not even playing, come to think of it). I'm just sharing my thoughts.
I think in general this is a good philosophy and would probably allow the team to return EP 1.0 France and Ger to their former power but otherwise it would be much more difficult from a balancing perspective.
