p1-05	Balance tuning — pop_peak ≥30 median, worker improvements ≥8 min	p1	partial	game1	2026-04-17	tools/checklist-report.py .project/reports/batches/

Summary

Most recent batch: median p0_pop_peak=25 (target 30 on normal), min_worker_improvements variable by seed. Once p0-01/02/03/06/07 land, re-tune food/growth/worker-AI to hit targets.

Acceptance

• 10-seed batch on normal difficulty:
  • Median p0_pop_peak ≥ 30.
  • Min across seeds worker_improvements ≥ 8.
  • Median techs_researched ≥ 20.
  • Median combats ≥ 120.

Depends on

• p0-06 (economy), p0-07 (tech costs) — both affect pop + tech counts.
