The idea here is to have the two organized factions actually go off against each-other, and the town.
The list itself is a visual of the save in the nutshell: two small yet specialized factions, with the town in the crossfire.

However, after a bit more research, and one test-game, I notice that mafia has a significant edge. This is because support roles are more powerful.

So there are multiple ways to balance this save, and I am wondering which one would be best

Size Changes
1. 2 Mafia, 9 Town, 4 Triad
2. 4 Mafia, 7 Town, 4 Triad
3. 2 Mafia, 10 Town, 3 Triad
4. 2 Mafia, 11 Town, 2 Triad

Composition Changes
1. Mafia and Triad have one support and one deception role
2. Mafia and Triad have two random roles
3. Town gets a confirmed marshall

And no I'm probably not gonna add in neutrals unless there is a good argument for adding them in when it comes to balance, because neutrals may go against the spirit of the save
