Rules should be easily enforced and work for both small and large maps. Current handicap was meant to create an overall boost to the lower ranked player not create a unit disadvantage that can be exploited on one spawn maps.

So the new rules are:
Take the difference in leagues between the two players, this is how many turns the higher ranked player can't take any wit spaces.

After 5 games won in a row the king will not get any handicap when playing higher league players.


This should allow for a much more balanced handicap system I hope. Higher ranked player will loose more wits on larger maps but those games are generally longer and it will be easier to regain the disadvantage on them.

So sorry Uvafan, as you reached the 5 game win streak no more handicap for you when you play super titans Strange that you are not in the top 200 list by the way!

Hopefully I'll be in the top 200 next week, I've been getting matched up and beating a bunch of top 200 players, as well as losing to some of them of course.

Seems like a more fair system, why not just make it so on the two spawn maps one of the wit spaces can be taken but the other one can't?

Think both spaces are more balanced actually. 1 wit difference is much more important on the one spawn maps. But am obviously not afraid to change the rules (again) if it turns out I am wrong!
