That brought a chuckle.
Anyway, as a "night shift" player I can tell you that with PS1 anyway, there were huge differences in empires chosen based on cultural ideals.
I won't go into it because someone will call me racist or something and then the amateur psych students will yell buzzwords or whatever but my experience tells me that there are biases.
If the devs want to balance this, I think they're going to have to do better than +30%xp for a 8:1 disadvantage in numbers. If it's balanced correctly, market forces will force the 4th empire to balance out any rewards so no matter what time of day there's an even fight.
Back on topic - I don't like the idea of uncapturable footholds but I can't come up with anything satisfying to resolve the situation.
