'a thought from the back forty' - for 1 on 1 matches ** on maps where all the terts are allocated - - - what if - - - the terts were allocated roughly 3 equal ways - with the neutral getting the same number of terts (or the extra tert(s) in the event that the total number of terts is not evenly divisible by 3). **
This would, in my mind, reduce, (though not eliminate), the 1st to play advantage by creating a '3rd' player to be dealt with so that the 1 on 1 match could commence in full force.
Both players would now have a '3rd', though neutral player to engage, at least to some degree at the start, in order to engage in full combat with the other player.
Any thoughts on this? it would be interesting at least to try this as a beta on two or three modified start-up maps to see if the win/lose ratio changes and by how much. Perhaps the 'sweet point' is closer to a 25:25:50 ratio?!?
