      There are a couple of variants out there which serve to balance GP. It could be nice to have an option included in this server to play with some of those variants. Some of them are pretty straightforward to implement while some would require some work. To give an overview to the site owner which variants are most requested i thought i'd make a thread where i write down all the most common variants i know, and then each can upvote based on how requested it is.

        Balanced faction variant

        Based on PROJ's post here: Balanced faction variant. This variant aims to balance the faction such as nerfing the stronger faction (Itars, Ambas) and boosting the weaker factions (Lantids, gleens, firaks and so on). Is continuously updated and is the prefered way of playing for alot of folks on my GP discord server.

        This one i'd love to see implemented.

          7vp 3pt

          This option is actually already included in the PBF google sheet on BGG, and seems widely accepted as the most common variant to make the 8vp 2pt fed token be more viable.

            Tighter map for 3 player games
            I don't play with it alot but i know alot of people prefer to take out sectors 9 and 10 in a 3 player game to make it tighter.

            Discussion about 3 player map variant.

              I'd definitely like to see the tighter map. Not too sure about the houserules variant. You can just use the auction.
              Then again it's not for me.

                yeah i think it's too early to implement any faction balancing variant since they're still being reworked and they're not really tested on a big enough sample size to be sure they're all really valid and better than original balancing, though if this site grows it could be a nice platform for actually tesing these things on a larger scale

                  I'd be very careful about altering the factions. There are several things in that BGG topic I most definitely don't agree with.

                    I don't know if this is the right place to post this, but I have a request. I would like to be able to choose the first game map for playing with newbies.
