Re: Balance Question and Concern
Part of the impression of "broken" can often IMHO be chalked up to the people in a given discussion all playing the same game. It is possible (though still not majorly so) to develop absolute strategies. But often you will see that there are many IFs involved. Such as, "this will win you the game" IF you are playing with a certain number of players, and certain game settings, with certain mods, on a certain map size, with certain nations/spells/items modified or banned. If just the map size for example is much larger or smaller then the strategies effect is often much less. The same with any of the other factors. The game supports a fairly extreme range in choices for just about everything so "fixing" any of those permanently in the game would amount to fixing it only for that group and messing it up for the others.
Many of the MP games have fallen into the "medium" range on all of those things which does allow for some lively discussions on how to keep those games from becoming predictable.
