I don’t think it’s the forum level that’s the problem, I think it’s the new build costs. It’s so easy to get ridiculous offensive numbers as you level up. Maybe reducing the points earned from 5/level to 3/level would help balance across the board?

That would:

-hurt the low levels too much from my (limited!) experience, as the game seems to have sufficient difficulty on that end;

-not really make much of a change at the high end. If anything, I’d take two turns in stead of one to kill a thread if upgrades cost more and nothing else was changed. In fact I ran forums with 0 upgrades into offense and still met job board requirements.
