We have a (fairly) solid six, a poetential for 7
and Wanderer (inhaling deeply) thinks we might get 8.
It will probably be 6 or 8, just to keep house numbers balanced.
Map is being tweaked for 8, but *imho) 6 will likely be the number.
The proble is (of course) the more houses you have, the greater chance for imbalance.
Still, perhaps if i made the homeworlds untouchable it wouldn't really matter..
hmmm
