You will have noticed that rather than addressing just your post in this thread I have been talking about your (broader) point regarding the topic in various other threads.
>The exact measure of the balance between SC's and potential counters will have to wait until the full game can be examined. I have never said otherwise.
It could certainly be deducted otherwise from other previous Posts, good to hear you clarify this.
>This is all the more surprising coming from someone like you, who got so much replay & enjoyment out of the 1st installment of the series.

Definitely, so long as the aproach is balanced by a look at both the pros & cons, and with a tone as neutral as posible. It didn't look that way, for the reasons previously stated.
I am not apealing at your emotional atachment to the game to turn an eye away, rather apealing to your knowledge that these guys have indeed done a good job in the past and there should be no reason for them to not do so now.
Leaving aside whether there will be more blood income or less, (on which we do not seem to agree), an argument of the type 'These counters have been lost, and the gain of these others does not make up for it' would have been much stronger on your part than the one you initially used.
