This is a GAMEPLAY BALANCE issue (domination threshold too loose, tech costs too steep, or map too small), not an AI defect — MCTS correctly pursues the shortest path to victory, which happens to be rush-domination under current data. +**Pre-p0-37 baselines** (for comparison): tier_peak uniformly 3.0 across all clans, 0/10 games built any wonder, turn cluster T39-T100. + +**Movement**: median tier_peak 3.0 → 3.0-4.0 per-clan spread (+33% smoke); games_with_any_wonder 0/10 → 6-9/10 per clan.

Additional tempo/tech-cost tuning could push toward 5, but **tier 6 appears gated by the tech-tree progression rate, not tactical AI** — games running to T300 still show peak_unit_tier=1 across the board. +- ✗ peak_unit_tier ≥ 6 in ≥7/10: currently 1.0 universally. This indicates tech/unit unlocks aren't triggering, independent of game length — a **game-systems / game-data concern**, outside warcouncil scope. +- ✗ tier_peak_gap ≤ 2: 3-4 observed. Longer games → bigger stronger-player lead. Likely improves with p0-38 PUCT divergence. +- ✓ ≥1 wonder per player in ≥5/10 (CONFIRMED across all 5 clans post-p0-37). +- Pending measurement: total_combats ≥ 50 in ≥7/10. **Remaining to reach done:** 1. Land `p0-37` (lift the 7 tactical constants to axis-derived functions) — primary lever per 2026-04-18 council analysis. Personality-emergent thresholds should push median game length past T250 (via cautious-clan games) and spread tier_peak across clans.
