Do you use CBM?

Some people just don't get it. Balancing a game is something that is done in loops. You changed something, you test it. Any new balance issues that crop up, you change. Redo from start.

Balancing is fiddling with values. Just like Rdonj said, one point more or less here or there can make a big difference. No asymmetrical game has ever been balanced from the start. Even blizzard makes changes to their games years later. (Sure they collect a lot more data, have ****loads of cash etc).

And CBM was not designed with a specific type of game in mind. At least they never say so. Sure it gets used a lot in certain types of games, like rdonj describes. But it was not designed for that purpose. If you come up with that argument again. Give proof. As CBM was trying to give more diverse possible strategies, not to balance the game for a specific type of game.

The "I don't like CBM" camp is spreading so much disinformation about what CBM was supposed to be about. It is mind boggling. (You know who you are.) And if you think that CBM is overpowered, give the various Awesomemods a whirl. Ninjadebugger is a fan of the more is more philosophy.

Ps, Deathblob, I love you!
