Its latest official patch, v1.8, brings only a handful of balance changes and mainly focuses on bug fixing. Triumph stated that they are happy with the current balance of the game. Why PBEM players and single players should use the balance mod? Changes that do not achieve their initial aims are edited or removed and the mod has already been through many iterations over more than a year. It is thus a real community mod and not a mod based on the opinion of its developers. The mod has been developed with the AoW3’s community and changes are integrated only after a consensus is reached regarding their need. The mod is mainly coded and coordinated by Zaskow and Hiliadan (and in the past cbower). In PBEM games, it is a must-have to avoid one-sided games, and in single play, it significantly increases the fun of games through both balancing and the addition of synergistic abilities for some units (like Engineers and Halfling Brew Brothers).
