Adams - balancing

Very cool reading. Adams really breaks down all the elements that make a game balanced. I really like breaking it up between PvE and PvP. But most of the time I was reading it, I just kept thinking about SC2. It's a game I like to play occasionally, and it's probably the most balanced game I've ever played. In fact they recently released the bata for SC2 - Heart of the Swarm, so it's not balanced yet. There are a bunch of new units, so lots of people will play it for a while, and eventually it will reach a point where it's completely balanced, in fact they already removed a unit because it was too powerful. Then eventually some actual strategies will start emerging, eventually leading to "standard play" with each race match-up. That's not all the stuff Adams talks about, but that's what I could immediately connect to a game.
