Also, after approx. 30 logged plays, I haven't found any of the tiles in the 2 player game to be over powering. I personally think that these two mentioned tiles being taken out of the 2 player game would remove some of the prioritization necessary. I often will fight to stay in first turn order, specifically hoping that one of these tiles will come out. I have had these tiles and both won and lost in 2 player games, granted i've never lost when I had both of them. Good end game scoring in my group seems to be around 25+ points, excluding WT and Silverlings, and I've found it just as easy to score that total with OR without those knowledge tiles. Not everyone ships heavily, so there is no automatic assumption that this tile will be outstanding. If someone takes this tile against me, I usually switch to a blue tile strategy and handicap them while getting first choice of things and completing my blue region first.I wouldn't say these tiles are the equivalent of the two cards that are recommended to be removed from a Two Player game of Egizia (which can seriously assist the players who have them and are uncounterable, unlike the mentioned tiles), but more just tiles that are good, and therefore worth watching.
That may be an example of some of the worst writing on the geek, but I'm tired and okay with it
