Re: Level 3 Point Upgrade for Champs?
I think the 30 point climb is underpowered compared to its point value.

However, it was exactly the same way at the beginning of the season when everyone chose their strategy. It should remain the same but I would not be surprised to see it go to 35 or 40 pts. Given the fact the FMS doesn't display 200+ scores properly (they overlap the border) I think this game has much higher scores than the GDC anticipated. Maybe it's the consistent gamepiece. Maybe it's Robot in 3 Days. Maybe it's just teams generally getting better. Whatever it is I feel like climbing is unbalanced in its cost:benefit ratio but that does not mean it should be changed. It only means that teams who chose to make exclusive climbers made a strategic misstep.
