Kristoffer, this game is fantastic. Anytime that someone asks for a downward "balance change", I'd like you to feel free to ignore them.
Can I second this.

So many people complain about 'balance' and this usually results in a unit, spell etc... being nerfed, made vastly inferior than it was. This happens time and time again until eventually the game does become 'balanced', in such a way that noone plays it anymore, cause its boring. I have seen so many good games spoiled this way.
I've also seem games where balance was ignored and players simply stopped playing the game because unless you played a specific way you were at a distinct disadvantage.

Obviously this does not apply to Domnions as there are easily 100's of different ways to play/strategy's to try.

It could if all of the games were small maps and 2-4 players with no VP.

Eh, I can't bother to argue with fanboys that think Dominions3 is divinely perfect when it comes to balance. No point.

To Kris O - Dom3 is a great game and I hope you keep improving it!

Or newbs stuck in one game type so they want everything tweaked to run perfectly in their style only.

But I agree that its a great game. (aint it cool that no matter what they all disagree with they can still all love the game?)
