The thing I liked about Starcraft every unit was important, you really could not get away with not building atleast a few of a certain unit. If your enemy attacked with a specialized team and you did not have a unit to counter them you would take more damage. So it made sence to mix and match your army. I played AOK and there are some units that I never use. There are too many units similar too each other that you dont even bother with them. I think that is a waste, You could make a specialized team in AOK but not to the extent of, say starcraft. I am hoping that GB puts more thought into the units then AOK.

i hear what you're saying, but i don't know how it relates to the title of the post? anyhow, i thought AoK was well balanced in terms of the variety of units, but probably not as much as starcraft (almost every unit was unique in some way). you'll have an array of long range, short range, heavy duty, light duty, scout, worker, medical unit, jedi, etc. in this game. so don't worry....:cool:
