Glad to see that my thread got some attention, and I finally found time to reply.
First of all, I do know that a point system that accounts for everything perfectly is very unlikely to be found in any game, but still, you have to start somewhere when developing a game and then begin to tweak your initial system. At least that's how I'd do it, and Enker's and Pollo's replies seem to confirm that.
What I do not get, however, is why Thom would be so averse to people publicly posting their results regarding the point system. With all due respect to him, the UWZ crew and their nice work, the game is pretty much dead by now and could only profit if the playerbase could go ahead and do their own stuff with it. If he's actually planning to release new units, then please, don't do it as handouts at talamania, since, you know, not everyone can be there and at the point where it's not even put online, it just becomes really mean for the people abroad who don't want to travel around half the globe just to get some new numbers on a sheet of paper.
I'm sorry, but I really cannot respect the wishes of a person who obviously ranks one part of the playerbase higher than another one, seemingly based only on the place of origin.
So Enker and Pollo, I would be much obliged if you guys could send me your findings either per PM or email sometime. I'm also very interested in the pdf you're talking about Enker and would love to see it once it's finished.
