enemy Heroes in LotR: battle for middle earth 2. Yeah, i know that Heroes are supposed to be stronger than the Average Lorien Archer, but You'd think 2 of my heroes and about 3 archer units could take out one enemy hero.
Most unbalanced race/team.

But dropping them counts as training an ODST squad. Which is both very expensive and time consuming to achieve the ability to do so and counts towards your popcap.mattttherman3 said:
Also, ODST's are only available to Captain Cutter.
Anyway, I think the most overbalanced RTS that I've played is EndWar, what with each faction being practically identical (sure there's the speed, defense, and power differences but they're minor).
The elves in Lord of the Rings:BFME. Once you get Mirkwood arrows, anything your enemy throws at you is instantly murdered in a sea of glowing arrows.
The two main counters NOD has to a mammoth:Valiance said:
1) Don't engage it, just drive around. Mammoths are slow as molasses.
2) Obelisk of Light.
These two are entirely sufficient. However, you can also kill them with bikes and light tanks if you keep those on the move for the duration of the fight, which causes the mammoth to miss.
When I played GDI, I did use mammoths, but the reason was using their anti-air capability to protect my army on the move. (GDI has nothing else that shoots in the air, apart from the bazooka trooper, and expensive infantry is just a bad idea against NOD). Buck for buck, medium tanks were a better core unit for an army than the mammoth. Among other reasons, it's because mammoths are too slow to use the moving defense against other tanks, too slow to drive around base walls while an obelisk is shooting at them, and therefore end up taking more damage.
NOD bikes, when used against harvesters, are the one thing in the game that has no real counter. We ended up making a gentleman's agreement that a NOD player may only possess 3 at any given time. I was primarily a NOD player and found this reasonable.
here have some one this 2 *feeds cake*Pyronox said:

why do RTS have to be balanced anyway? do you think war in real life is? do you think the americans go "oh wait, im not going to attack them, our army and economy is just 2 big" :|
Indeed. The mind control weapons were just too powerful, against the AI it was already annoying but against a human player you could suddenly be attacked by half your own army if you weren't careful. But Red Alert 2 was never about balance anyway. It's still a fun game.Inverse Skies said:
Not as bad as Kirov Airships. Chrono-Ivans are pretty ridiculous too.Inverse Skies said:
And the Timurids in M2TW. Bloody Solid. And You can't play as them.
Because it's one of the concessions that have to be made for any games to have a point to them. Imagine playing a game of chess where your opponent has double the pieces you have and they're all queens to boot. There'd be no point to that game since you've lost before that game has even begun.Acaroid said:
Really, the only way for a game to be "too balanced" is one where none of the choices you make actually matter (i.e. having tons and tons of equally viable options, making the game seemingly random). But that isn't the case with Starcraft, chess or almost any video game in general.
Kirovs were ok if you prepared for them... but yeah, it was still easy to underestimate the amount of damage three or four Kirovs can take. Fortunately the RA2 expansion pack had the Force Shield.Wasder said:
As for Chrono-Ivans, those are superunits, but they're supposed to. They were very hard to acquire (I think you had to get a Spy into the enemy Battle Lab and have a infantry production structure of your enemy), so I think it's ok that they're really strong units.
Vasari in Sins of a Solar Empire. They are not overpowered as such, nor can they overcap. However they have an ability you can unlock called "dark armada" which, if used right, basically gives you a fleets worth of free ship replacements every twenty minutes or so.
So not only do they get a lot of free ships, they get them quicker than anyone else can build a similar force.

Wow, Dawn of War seems like MvC2 of RTS games.
Every race seems to be broken one way or the other.
