Well, I am not experienced with Dom II yet (darn demo is all I have right now) but I do know that game balance - especially in a wargame this deep - is an ongoing process. There isn't any way the developers can test every scenario themselves, and thus the community of players (and this forum in particular) has a great deal to do with presenting things to the developers they might not have seen/thought of before.
Patch 2.08 is soon to arrive, and there's no sign that patches will be grinding to a halt after its release. Furthermore, it seems to me (from reading a lot of the threads in this forum) that Illwinter is a very "populist" developer - that is to say, they appear to take all suggestions quite seriously.
In my opinion, something doesn't need to be completely broken in order to be in need of a little bit of tweaking. TC is probably viable, but could be more so. Again, I'm speaking from gaming experience as a whole, not from specific experience with Dom II.
