Balance?

[The Witch King of Angmar]

This is getting too hard or just plain too over-complicated to follow. Try to stay on topic.

That should say "If I remember 'Correctly'", ahhh I love it....you correct him then get corrected yourself XD

And yes the factions seem balanced enough from what has been released, with no "Super Weapons" (i.e. Nukes/etc-C&C, Heros-BfME 1,2,3, etc) and balanced enough Heros.

It doesnt seem to me like the people making this game are biased toward certain factions. (Unlike the BFME guys, thinking that since Elves own in general they should own ingame also.)

Also that post was super long and I got lost after the first paragraph and just skipped to the last paragraph lol. Keep it short, sweet, and to the point.

Here in Wales, 'rightly' is the term of speech we use, correctly is more grammatically viable yes but rightly still is a word that suits the sentence

And yeah same as me I saw the first paragraph... then decided to skip the rest of the post, the first paragraph was far too much of a rant for me to bother to read the rest...
In response, people dont play games all the time because their life sucks... perhaps they like games? simple as... Im perfectly happy with my life; i have plenty of friends, im popular enough to get by, i am healthy and yes i do get out... But one of the things I enjoy most is a good computer game, whether it be RTS, RPG, FPS or others depends how i feel at the time.

Such a rant is justifiable yes but unnecessary and unwanted, in future please refrain as it may offend people.

And to get back on topic.... Yeah the game looks to be well balanced and yes pretty much all developers struggle to balance a game well but that is what patching is for right? and I have full faith in Reverie, they will deliver for us....

Well maybe i did too harsh in first paragraph and sorry if offended someone, but the rest of it is more interesting and make you thinking about stuff so you should really read it =P. And yes it was necessary to give the point to the rest part about supporting that.... And nickson104 if ppl play games all the time, that is not only because they like the game.

And about the balance ... balance can never be 100% done and that is fact/rule except in perfect environment (where you have identical shape of land, buildings and soldiers...) and as other ppl said here, as we have seen reverie team done very good job in balancing. Only orcs seems to be ridiculous overpowered on pictures =P (omg the sizeeeee =O).

I wouldn't be too worried. One thing i found interesting were the Elf's and how they can take on many soldiers solo. But then i read also that they cant build as many units (or they cost ALOT of resources).

As for orcs i doubt they will be OP. They might have really strong units, but sieging them? It wont be as hard its only wood stockades even if they can build many stockades as I've read i doubt it wont be that hard to attack with good siege equipment. Overall this looks really well balanced i can't wait for this game

It's funny, how many people seem to know game is balanced. And I looked all over this site to just see one unit. How do you guys know it's balanced when you don't know units. Unless, I'm missing something. Where can I get more info on units, and buildings?
And is there a replay of a 1v1 matchup between devs out that I can observe?

No game is "balanced" during the development process, since the features aren't even finalized yet. I don't know why people would be saying it is right now, because nothing is finalized yet, and it's quite likely that almost every unit stat will get tweaked between now and release.

In any case, I'm sure Reverie will give this issue the attention it deserves, but right now it's too early to think about it. You can't start talking about fine balance when new units or abilities could be introduced next week.

They don't know, most have a pretty weak grasp of the concept of "balance".

Well as i stated in my post i said - as we know - and those info we got it looks more balancing like on other games (like elf archers), so overall it gives a well balanced feeling from far, but it is obvious that the game huge as this one cant be balanced at its very release but the obvious things that makes other games unbalanced seems to be worked out (or at least they are working on them). And i was talking (maybe also others) about balance when the game will be more or less fixed.

Well we know most of the elven stuff through one of the fansites (cant remember which one), Every so often a unit is mentioned in topics but never as a topic as a whole which would be why you havent found them...

Yeah you are right we cannot say for sure whether it would be balanced and as you said it is subject to change but i personally never said it was balance just that it 'seems' balanced, LOTR 'seemed' balanced until you actually played it....
