The 1650 game is balanced, the changes to agent order difficulty saw to
that, better coodination and neutral recruitment will win.  You must be
able to rely on your teammates.  In one game as the Dark L, I started to
take the FK capital by emmissary b/c he wouldn't answer any phonecalls,
cards, and while active (his characters moved) he wouldn't hire an army.

The 2950 game is perhaps less fun b/c of the samller economies, but no
less balanced... Look at the WK posistion?  It does suffer from early
drops, and I personally no longer play it.  The small economies make 40
something agents in companies a very good weapon in a bankruptcy war.
The margins are so small that a treasury cleaning can put a small
economy into disaster, even though you don't get enough gold...
The cool Noldo and DS characters cost a lot of cash for upkeep too...
