Default A fixed Forum Topic \'Dominions II Game Balance Discussion\' would be fine

makes a good place for some multiplayer balance notes.

While I like this in theory, it's too broad a topic to put a sticky on. There's no way you'd be able to follow a coherent thread.

My suggestion is to go ahead and post balance issues as they come up (I recently posted one about whether Assassin Pretenders were or weren't balanced and what factors came into play there) and let them run their course. The game's too complex to have a single balance thread.

Just thought I'd respond since this topic had gone unloved for a while.

Sounds like a moderator. I was jsut about to do the same thing.

We want to avoid getting too many stickies. We got to a point where you had to scroll down just to see new Posts. And people were still asking to have their favorite thread pinned to the top of the screen.

What we did was consolidate. Now if someone wanted to gather together all the balance threads and create a single post that listed them all with links... that might work.

It would be the clams threads, the LI threads and all the other balance threads rolled into one. Ack.

There are several separate balance issues (or alleged issues) that should be discussed in separate threads. And I don't think they need to be stickied - they will stay on the front page as long as there is discussion on them.
