We knew landing FR fleets on alliances like Ultores/Black-Flag/CT(to some extent), who was XAN/ETD FR heavy would be very hard, if not impossibole at times due to the stats being totaly horsesh*t in our(my) view.
Broadsword faking would mean we cant land them, therefor it would be natural alliances to avoid.
Keeping the value of p3ng down early would mean it would be possibole to land their planets later on if their value wasnt that much bigger than ours.
Meanwhile im sure p3ng picked FL/Vikings/HR as possibole "allies" from early on was due to their race/strat setup aswell.
I voiced it pretty clear after these stats was finished off that they should not be considered to be played due to a very few options for alliances to go with, and im pretty sure if p3ng hadnt gone for CR/BS the round winner could still be undecided.
The main problem with these stats compared to R56 is the change for the cath scarab, if IsildurX hasnt been to focused nerphing cath as a race, the other options apart from FR would been more tempting.
