With iglo and hard winter only, starvation seems to get a lot weaker. Elo ratings become rather weak indicators of p...

In all seriousness, I've seen stronger starvation play than anyone here does it (granted not an art since hardly any stronger player ever plays it....), so I'd say the viability is not an entirely settled issue. Play just does not seem that developed, even in base settings (and that's fine, it's not...
