Author Topic:   And another thing...

Does anyone agree with me that there should be no limit on the number of troops that go through a psi gate, but rather the limit should be the type of troop, for example limiting psi gates to ground units only, but allowing as many as want go through in a turn. It makes sense, Each turn is a year, and it's unrealistic enough that planes can't circle the globe 300 or more times in one turn as it is (but understandable as this would severely disrupt game balance). If psi gates are slower than regular air planes were on earth, what's the point except for traveling distances that could not ordinarily be reached in 1 year, assuming psi gates travel the same regardless of distance

Another Balance vs. Realism Issue. As with the others, Balance is a lot more important.
