Sigh.  More power means more orders, but more orders does *not* mean more
power.  Most of the orders you issue are mundane - move this item from this
holding piece to this other one, toggle piece flags, etc.  Don't affect power,
can issue as many as you want.  The orders which *can* affect power - training
soldiers, improving skills, conquering locations - *are* limited by other
means.  You could only "buy" a game by running multiple positions, and MG
doesn't allow that (well, not within the same game).

You obviously don't have any actual experience with the game.  As such, it is
rather presumptuous of you to label one of the most popular and longest-running
PBM games on the market as being imbalanced.  If you want to learn how to
play the game, that's one thing.  But this smacks of an uninformed potshot.
