Jumping in here. I agree with both sides of this arguement. Mestari, your idea has credit, but is more complicated, despite "only adding a one digit no. to a 2 digit at most", when I have to start remembering whether it's an skill, trait, other pos. skill etc. for each of my players.
However, I do agree we need to look at TR in relation to Nigs and Tresurery. Imagine this situation (which happened in our league). Coach A has an undead team. Whenever he "raises the dead" he turns the new zombie into a coach, and freeboots Drakenborg whenever he has the money. He has a TR of about 130. His next game was against the Human coach whose having a torrid season (his regular season was 1-2-7). He only has 12 players on his roster though deaths, and fails 2 of his 3 nigs. His TR is 146. So not only does the Undead have a better team anyway, his opponent only has 10 players for the game and is giving away a Handicap.
I admit this is an extreme example, but it did happen. The human player is the youngest in the club, and the Undead coah went easy on him (well he was his father) and only won 2-0 and caused 2 cas. The human team was on a downward spiral which it never recovered from (plus the human coach is getting more and more down about wargaming, which is one of the reasons we're playing Quest at the mo).
I guess my ramblings have gone on enough, but I just wanted to shoe the present system can be etremly unfair, and could help drive people away form the hobby.
