Ok so added ideas. Need to know if you guys would want to impliment them:
-each player gets 10 outposts to start, no exceptions
-no promotable specs
-a time limit (10 days?) per game

1. Just let the game flow naturally..
2. BUT WHY!?
3. Games won't be 10 days long anyway, my longest 1v1 has been 5 days. And I play a lot, and I mean a LOT of 1v1.

1. Seems reasonable, but how would it be done? Are the two players going to split them up pre-game? This seems like a recipe for disagreements. How could it be enforced?
2. I like this. No promotions will take some luck out of the game, based on specialist draw.
3. Seems fine, but I can't imagine a 1v1 lasting that long.

I think that, if there was any disagreement, we could make it that the player who was set to be disadvantaged
1. Takes outposts so that each player gets the same number of factories/generators.
2. If that doesn't work, there is a solution, but it's slightly complicated: the disadvantaged player takes the 5 outposts which have the highest value when [fastest time for advantaged player to reach outpost X]/[fastest time for disadvantaged player to reach outpost X] is evaluated.

We need to make a system that doesn't require a nerd.

I don't see why you'd need that, seeing as a nerd is running the whole thing.

And I think that everyone is subterfuge is fairly honest, so there shouldn't be too many arguments

And for #2: Roozbeh suggested having only one type of promoted spec. Does that sound more fair?

Hah! This made me laugh.

Now, if you made some slight changes...
"I think that MOST FORUM REGULARS [are] fairly honest"

Yes. I think this basically does the same thing as no promotions - it prevents someone with possibly stronger/concentrated hires stacking and then running over their opponent.

Yeh. That's what I meant

Which is the main point of this. Trying to be fair, making it more skill to win than good hires. Although, having good hires will almost always give someone an unfair advantage
