Heraclitus: Method for balancing uneven sides, muttators and variants..[Subject Thread] [Add Response]

The balancing I am referring to is offsetting weaknesses intrinsic in a
side in a game, NOT the skill level of the players.  The approach is to
give the players an abilities to adjust the game configuration so it is
more fair, in a way that requires a player to factor things in.  Because
the approach requires multiple rounds to be played, both players have a
chance to try to balance things.

That is the idea here, not as some sort of handicapping.
