Have team auto balance be based on equipment value and level.

[Ulrek]

I'm in favor of banner balance, but dislike one sided games.

So in short, if you could count an entire banner teams "Value", then you could put 4 tincan clan mates on one team, and 8 newbies/random people on the other, and the gold would roughly be matched evenly, also it would punish people for being bad, and bringing black armor when they cant even block without a shield.

At least in theory... thoughts?

You would have to figure out a whole different scale for each class, otherwise you'd end up with an entire team of tin-cans who would do nothing but whine about the massive amount of archers and light cav on the enemy team. Otherwise, I think it's a good idea.

No, melee balancing is fine, skill wins (except I guess for longspear/pike spam).

The problem is fixing the ranged/cav balance.
