2 and 3 is what I almost always play. Eclipse plays great at 2 players so I was just very surprised when Exiles struggled so mightily.We have not seen a single instance of a race being too much or too little. MAYBE Orion in 2p, but not always. That is a testament to the playtesting team.
I read that report, but a 9P game is not realistic for us, so I am grading them for a 2P or 3P game. Even a 4 to a certain extent, but I am not going to wager on that at all as I can make Diplomatic agreements there.
