I'd like to think this is a win for everyone though having dealt with a fallen giant before I do have a sense of apprehension. Something about a nation having a +billion dollar war-chest, nukes, and a full compliment of wonders, spies, ect, while being in the 15k-35k range paints a different picture. Maybe the high tech levels will really prevent the bigs from reaching that low a ns range, but just one fallen giant in that range would chew up and spit out any non-fallen foes it came across; imagine what dozens would do?
