An ETL can elevate M6s to TLs and B6s to T6s.
A TL can elevate T6s to TLs and M6s to T6s.
A T6 can elevate B6s to M6s.
It works in reverse too. An M6 devalues an ETL to a TL, etc etc.
In combination form, 3 T6s can look like 3TLs, but when split up, how do they impact lesser players?
The goal is to have the equivalent of:
L1: TL, TL, TL
L2: T6, T6, T6
The three Cups have been won by:
ETL, M6, M6 (equates to TL, TL, TL)
TL, T6, B6 (equates to T6, T6, T6)
ETL, TL, TL (equates to ETL, TL, TL)
T6, M6, M6 (equates to T6, T6, T6*)
TL, TL, T6 (equates to TL, TL, TL)
T6, T6, M6 (equates to T6, T6, T6*)
I've put asterisks on Washington and St. Louis' second lines, because I wanted to point out that over-talent on one line impacts the other line because of quality of defence assignments. In Washington's case, having an ETL with two TLs requires enough defensive attention to allow for M6s on the second line to become T6s all on their own.
I'm working this out as I go along, but it just hit me to use math...
Let's say you need a numerical line-value like this:
L1: 9pts
L2: 6pts
And then, let's say that Talent Levels are worth the following:
ETL: 6pts
TL: 3pts
T6: 2pts
M6: 1pt
Pittsburgh:
L1: ETL becomes a TL in the process of elevating M6s into TLs, so that's 3*3pts= 9pts.
L2: TL becomes a T6 while turning an M6 into a T6, so that's 3*2 = 6pts.
Washington:
L1: An ETL stays an ETL when playing with TLs, so that's 6 + 3*2 = 12pts
L2: 2 M6s bring a T6 down to an M6, but there's 3pts left over from L1, so thats' 3 + 3*1 = 6pts.
St. Louis:
L1: 2 TLs can turn a T6 into a TL without a penalty, so that 3*3 = 9pts.
L2: 2 T6s can turn an M6 into a T6 without penalty, so that's 3*2 = 6pts.
