+1 Wits: Why is it a mistake?

[AJaW96]

The above is a lot to take in, but the key point of game balance before game redesign is a good one. While there was a lot of talk about bombshells and turtles, there were a lot of good points about Outwitters - the best one being the calculated chess like play. I love mechanics that encourage offence, but the game feels completely different now.

In summary, I would love if the above approach of balancing maps (and units) was taken rather than sweeping game play changes.
