Imbalanced integration of RPG into strategy. This game is entertaining--don't get me wrong. However, it is not and never can provide the well rounded multiplayer experience of Starcraft and Warcraft II because of the "superhero" aspect of the game. Top strategy for this game? Spend as little time as possible building economy, infrastructure and army, and concentrate on upgrading your heros. Two upgraded heros will thrash two or three GROUPS of units. For those who enjoy the challenge of balancing production power with speed, prepare to lose when I build a minimal war machine and upgrade my heros. Economy does play a factor if two players both focus on character development, but armies are of secondary import which is a shame for a RTS. If you are more interested in RPG type play, this game is for you. If resource management and military strategy are more your cup of tea, stick with starcraft. While I still usually win, I have to admit this game fell short in my estimation. Superweapons and hero units are great--but they should not be available right from the start of a round, and should need much more cost and effort to develop.
