Talk:Game balance

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Just a suggestion on the "miniature wargame" section, but could you go into more detail? Y'know, giving examples of what constitutes "fair" and "unfair" in that case, kinda thing. Yar Kramer

The "Principles" and "Factors" sections, aside from having been written mostly about character classes, seem to be mostly original research. Percy Snoodle 08:43, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, I second that. We probably ought to give it an overhaul and, uh, come up with sources for most of this, really. —Yar Kramer 00:50, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

—For the "Principles" section: it isn't original research, although it could have been worded better to show how the principles were universal claims about all games. All games, including computer-based, soccer, chess, etc. are based upon those principles, even if it wasn't clearly explained. Maybe the author should have also explained how the concept of a "class" or "role" is universal to any sort of game. I think we are dealing with a specialized subject that has yet to be fully explored in what is considered traditional literature or educational settings. Consequently, we have a much more difficult task of referencing "authoritative" sources for the more specific claims in this section, i.e. some of the best places to find this information is actually on gamer forums.

Good point! Maybe I ought to make some sort of article on it and get it published ... ;) —Yar Kramer 02:39, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

-Just to let you know, Sirlin.net has articles that cover game balance. --Juigi Kario (Charge! * My crusades) 20:33, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
