Actually the advent aren't going to be overpowered by my suggestions... yet that is your own ill founded and poorly thought out, reasonless opinion.
Everyone can have an opinion, yet reason is what ensures some opinions get heard and some do not. i would recommend you apply some reasoning to what I am precisely talking about, instead of making overgeneralized concepts and throwing them up on the forum.
That being said, Such a strong early game advantage isn't going to be changed without redesign. So, the vasari loyalists should be penalized just like the advent loyalists for having a strong early game and weak late game. Either that, or the advent loyalists should get a buff because they are weak. The point is i'm tired of having a race in the game that isn't competative, and compared to the new races as they stand you can see how unbalanced ideas get given to the Vasari. I'm upset at the developers for not taking a balanced approach to their game design ideas, they are getting sloppy. Game balance shouldn't even have been close to this unbalanced. If they were going to test the game and have us provide meaningful feedback, they should also be communicating A LOT with their community. This doesn't require a lot of developer time since they can pay a minimum wage employee to be the typist who puts developer discussions into the forums so that players can actually provide meaningful feedback.
I'm just asking the developers to actually lead their community.
