What is being done to make the Covenant better?
Will the game be balanced such that a UNSC and Covenant player with equal skill and equal planets and all upgrades are evenly matched? I think it should be. The understanding I have is that the UNSC will have an incredible late game (Infinity + economy), which is fine, but I don't like the idea that a Covenant player will almost definitely lose just from playing on a map too big to quickly rush across. I also am skeptical of the UNSC having any sort of disadvantage at the beginning, at least as far as quick colonization is concerned. The Phoenix is superb at capturing a lot of planets quickly.
This is all based on the latest release, which is way outdated. But I'm under the impression that maybe this current balance is intended for the long term? If so I think it could be tweaked in a few ways. I dunno. Tell me what y'all think.
