Vurbil,

No single beta tester has had free hands with the game. They all discussed and tested the changes that were made like civilized people.

I've talked of many things with Sapura over the months, both on and off the forum. If you read the older threads you will find that our clashes were sometimes quite heated. I even opposed the addition of Poland as a Great Power. ;)

I know for a fact that the beta testers have wrangled almost every point in the same fashion. By now I trust them to have done a good job (although I am still peeved that I could not be one of them :)).

Lastly, remember that the one thing that crippled Poland historically was its horribly strong nobility, the members of which were mostly interested in their own wealth. This fact cannot be reflected in the game, which is why Poland might appear to be too strong.
