Sorry, to quote so much, but this is good summary of what I meant by
"playtested". We tend to add cool new features to crossfire because
that's what's fun to program. For the 1.0 release we should stop
adding features at some point and just try to fix up play balance.
We should try to test play balance with both experienced and inexperienced
players. We don't want to turn new players off the game by making it
too difficult.
