That's pretty much true. There are some cases when you get a good seeming start but it still dwindles down before the end but mostly you either get a good start that can take it to the end or don't and lose kinda fast. Of course I could cook the books a bit and tweak the odds for more balance but that doesn't seem "fair" either. I do have some plans on making the end game more challenging and varied which will hopefully make it more interesting.
