Hi all, I discovered this pretty late since I got stuck with vanilla game (and its flaws) for way too long. It's so helpful though.
I can't help but wondering Frank : you spent a lot of effort in these tier lists, but you made none for the age cards themselves, although they are still the main thing we play with. Is it related to the secret tier list?
I think we could all make fairly objective ones with vanilla, especially now with ZeusAi into the mix (for instance age 1 Tavern at the very top, economy above everything, green just after and red at the very bottom etc, with slight differences between symbols / resources) but I'm pretty sure all of that changes with the full game. I noticed top players like you play less yellow than I expect for example, maybe because the senate chambers carries you over for economy, I don't know.
I would also be curious about how you evaluate (objectively, so outside of your playstyie) the overall balance between the 4 different win conditions. Given your stats you obviously prefer white over blue /red/green but I feel like it's probably because of some lack of proper defense from a lot of your opponents, am I wrong?
Also, I think IRL Anubis and the Sabotage conspiracy are higher because the devs confirmed that they destroy military shields (thus enabling more deadly threats), which is not what happens on BGA despite many years of complains (this game lacks maintenance generally).
