Default Re: Dev Thinking on Balance?

Well, since this thread is now becoming increasingly clogged with non-developer commentary, without a dev having deigned to comment, I might include these insights from people who I think have managed to blackmail their way into being the beta testers, and as such, can probably be considered more skilled and knowledgeable than the rest of us:
Sigh....
No offense intended to beta testers but thier opinions are not the end all of knowing knowledge (I myself have been a beta tester for many games). If this were true then every game that came out would never need patches. The beta testers did a great job on Dominions II balancing, but many exploits surface later after extensive play by customers. This is common in most games on the market.

Norfleet, what I do not understand is that you are a skilled player no doubt, why are you so set in defending the VQ?? Would it not be more interesting and challenging with Gods more balanced???
