Warrior General Games

Currently, Gold Road Warrior is a max of +8 Conditioning and with +16 to Heart and Toughness.

Gold HTH is a max of +10 Conditioning and +20 to Heart and Toughness.

The reality is that more games are played at Home for most teams than on the Road. The #1 team in a Tier plays all Ladder games at Home (in-tier) with the other top teams playing almost all Ladder games at Home.

RW is more of a situational purchase. It's needed in less games, but when it's needed it's more important because you're trying to move up in the rankings.

I've thought they should be at least equal for several seasons now. And I can see a case where Road Warrior should actually be the stronger effect than HTH because it's needed in less games overall but when it's needed, it's more important.

Good Human teams beat up on CPU teams and inactive teams. Those always exist. There's a natural bias to Human teams to having more Home games than Road games.

I'd look into equalizing the two. If you want people to pay FLEX for their final SA boosts why is one a nerf of the other?

I dig it

Seems pretty obvious it is trying to be this game's version of home field advantage.

When they are minimally used though (some are now using them), how much of an advantage are they really creating? Additionally, what about the underdog teams going up against juggernaut coaches/owners who are going to play their playoff games as the road team and have invested in the skill? I agree that they should be even as well.

I didn't say it was a good decision. Just saying it is obvious what the thinking was.

Hence the suggestion in S19.

It probably was. Revisiting it isn't a bad idea with 18 seasons of data.

I don't disagree, but frankly I don't get either SA at all.

It would make more sense to me if home field advantage was a thing, and then Road Warrior negated the nerf. Not sure you would need HTH in that scenario though, or maybe it is still useful as a counter to restore the home field advantage against a Road Warrior team.
