Have we ever had 100% balanced stats? Most dont seem to be close once we get into actually playing. I personally think most of the recent stats have been pretty terrible, perhaps as a consequence of this impossible pursuit.

Balance in the game is not about what they look like in a matrix as that will always exclude loads of factors; alliance decisions, that some ppl stick to certain races, and I doubt they take into account the other race bonuses on research etc well. This round we have 30 cats and 15 xans in the T100; did the addition of population research have anything to do with this? Probably. How much? Who knows, can it be quantified?

Balanced stats is a snare and an illusion.
