i wasn't aware there *was* a ban in force on previous rounds. that said, there being one is little evidence that it's not stupid

true enough, no stats are perfect. however, the stats don't need to be perfectly balanced in order for race choice to be unimportant, they just need to be balanced enough so that an alliance requires all the races to function. i seem to remember sid lamenting the fact that loads of 1up went xan, as it made certain defences harder - therefore it seems reasonable to postulate that had he realised this would happen he'd have suggested some go for different races, despite them being 'weaker'.
