Well. That's why game design is more of an artform and talent than a hard science. "Fun" is subjective to every person and hard to describe in an objective sense. But if you're looking for objective evidence of BE's weakness, just look at the number of players. Steamcharts only reflects Steam...

I agree on all points with the OP, except you'll find that artifacts wreak the game even more by giving the player a massive advantage over the AI (They don't use artifacts) ;p It's amazing you had the game for 2 days, and was able to compile this list. Yet it's been over 400 days and Will and...
