Would it be more fun to play?

Don't go on about balancing issues. Just your opinion.*

Yes, of course. Any balanced game is funnier than any unbalanced game. Unless all you want is to win.

I don't know - it gives fanatics something to bitch about if they lose - "[Said Race] is over powered!" Etc. etc. So, no. Plus, it gives you some kind of challange; if you can overcome even when the odds are against you, you know you're good.

It creates a much more random gaming experience, a new strategy every time, rather than the few simple 'always win' tactics we have now that capitalise on imbalances.

I accidently voted no ><

The game is always balanced, but it would be fun for all players if it stayed balanced. Especially in custom games, even though some authors are noobs and can't balance for squat.

If UD are unbalanced, which I hear they have been good and bad some past patches can someone tell me the easiest way to cheat a win with them other than the long ass nec/wagon thing?

Many ways, you just need to be creative with the units you have.

A balanced game is always better. People get discouraged when they play against an imbalanced team. And feel like they are inferior...It detracts from the game's fun.
I think that NE is imbalanced versus humans....But nothing tooo significant...

Ne isnt imbalanced against humans. It depends how well you can focus and micro on the hunts with rifleman and heroes.

No No...no rush...it is the bear/dryad/ archer strat....all human players have trouble against that...It is rare that you see a replay that beats that strat...B4 getting bears...Ne can also fend off a human army...
Its not just me that says this...4K^tod says the exact same thing...I think he knows a bit more than me!

Balance is all perpective. If one player always loses in a game, there will alwasys be an "imbalance". The gme curretly is pretty damn balanced. You can refer to one of my old, olllld threads aobut what I think of the game.

The game is extrememly balanced. And i applaud blizzard's efforts for doing it to such an intriciate game!
However, there are probably SOME imbalances out there. This game is way too complicated for that not to happen!
