Food for thought.

It’s clear that you can’t compare individual units or judge the strength of factions based on agreed-upon games or individual maps, as some people like to do. But if they enjoy playing with agreed-upon rules, that’s their choice. I’ve also played that way a few times, but it’s purely to test the central abilities of each faction. We would just play for a while, acquire the specific central ability, and then test it in a final battle.
