Clear P2 advantage

I'm sure it's been documented before but it's hard to get any worse than this in terms of a P2 advantage:

Simulator shows it 54/42 for first player still, both players taking two embassies plus walled village if needed. That's not too different from a militia or ghost ship slog.

Can you explain why this would give a second player advantage?

Opponents gaining silver when Embassy is bought. If both started Nothing/Embassy, O would get the silver before the first reshuffle, ARTjoMS don't. I think that's it...

The simulator thinks it's the better play to have the walled village.

but thats pretty clearly wrong. You want two embassys at most and one embassy will get you a colony/plat in almost every play after turn, say, 6.

It's depressing seeing the smithy-MV engine continually fail to coalesce. Poor guy...
