Most balanced game settings?
Is there a general consensus regarding the game settings which are best for balance (ie. don't obviously suggest any particular strategy)?
Seems to me that 'normal' research would bias a game far too much in favour of magic, SCs etc. So wouldn't 'difficult' or 'very difficult' be the best choice?
Indie strength should probably be higher than 3 to deter very early mass expansion. Maybe 6 or 9?
There seem to be enough magic sites at the 40 setting, but 50 seems to be a common choice. Does that make finding magic sites too important? In other words, is it almost always optimal to search for magic sites at 50?
Seems like 'difficult' research, 6 strength indies, and 45 for magic sites should be best for balance. Anyone with more experience care to comment?
