I'm narrowing down the criteria so that operations are phrased in such a way that they are a behaviour of the player that can be contingent on gamestate. For instance, controlling large wreck fields is a very high priority, but players that prioritise them highly aren't going to be as strong as players that expand for instance. While controlling wreck fields is often a higher priority, when thought of in terms of which habits win games, expanding is a much higher priority habit to learn since it impacts every game from start until finish.

I'll keep a spoilered version of each iteration of the list in the OP (so that the discussion makes sense), but only the current version will be unspoilered.

I don't really know how to approach adding these. I moved things around a bit. I expect to move things around a lot more, and to never achieve anything that everyone is truly happy with. But so long as the broad idea is refined then I think we'll end up with something useful. I'm thinking I want to move a lot of things down further still. ATM it's ordinal only, but that's not obvious. People could easily assume that line moving is more than 50% as important as expanding for instance, when it's really not. But I'll focus on getting them in order first, then perhaps think about representing them more in ratio.
