Jedi, perhaps you don't understand. The problem with Vanheim is that playing next to them means death. It isn't that they aren't balanced in the long game, it is simply that in the short game they are unstoppable. Start next to them, and die. Simple as that. That doesn't make for a very fun game, unless you also like self-inflicted eye-wounds and volunteer for unneeded amputations.

Completly agreed.
It seems that all those defending Van are playing sp, if they had started a mp near van they would be aware of their power. Vans (even unmounted) are so clearly overpowered that a look on the units db is more than enough.
"Van is only strong in the early game". You know better than me because that advantage in the early game means big advantage in the late game, it's characteristic of strategy resource based war games.
Perhaps the only good argument against Van nerfing is "I want a game with some very unbalanced nations". To help newbies? To do rush experiments? To win easily?. But at least is an argument.
I love vans, I ever played vans (and pangea) in Dom2. I hope they will be balanced to reintroduce them on my games.
