I think the balance is pretty solid, based on what I can tell after first readthrough. I am only slightly concerned the civvies might be at a disadvantage dealing with a baddie team of four and a rogue recruiter that only seems to be able to recruit them, but perhaps that concern is unfounded.

Thanks! I may juice up the civs a bit. Some of the secret abilities are rather powerful, so that might help.

No problem!

You might even be fine; it's tough to tell for sure since I'm unaware of the secrets. It might indeed help and balance it perfectly. I just notice that especially in speed games where single mafia teams tend to be prevalent that the mafia have more of an advantage in numbers much more than they normally would in a full game setting where they have to compete with typically at least one other team (and logically so).

Orly?

Felt like you might be talking from personal experience there...

Lol, very funny.

That said, your numbers work out OK. You likely might not even need to tweak anything. I'd love to play regardless!
