Game Balance and Matchmaking - We want your feedback!

Sandstorms and titans are fine at the same cost not because they are the same strength, but because, while the titan will definitely beat the sandstorm on the ground, the sandstorm is a whole lot more versatile. Titans utterly die to infantry and air units, I admit you might have some trouble at early levels and its possible it becomes available too soon like the rockworm does, I honestly don't know for sure, nobody had titans when I was at those levels and you're the first person I've heard complain about them, but nerfing the titan is not the answer there, possibly delaying its unlock or ensuring players get at least one decent counter early on might be.

As to your matchmaking problems, that is almost entirely due to the low number of players in the alpha. Honestly 200 points off isn't that bad right now, I occasionally fight people 1000 points off from me, and if only myself and one other person in the top 10 are on, we fight each other repeatedly, just ask Snipes, they're in my alliance and we fought like 5 times over an hour or so last night while I worked my way back up to level 14 :P. Long term, this will solve itself, temporarily, there is likely no good solution here unless you want to get long delays on matches. Best solution you can probably do right now is to figure out when people in your level range are active and try to play around the same time so that you can get matched up with them.

As I've said elsewhere and you'll find a lot around these forums, the two harvester thing is an odd problem to solve because more players matchmaking will eventually solve it without any changes, but right now it is a big pain to level 5 players who don't play aggressively enough to really punish it, no clue if they'll change that or not. My only suggestion to you at this point is to be sure to pressure your opponent, keep them defensive and reacting, keep what counters you do have in mind and slowly unlock stuff as you can. The best way to make up for a lack of income compared to your 2 harvester opponent is to destroy their harvesters and get yourself a tidy resource boost in the process, and you know, those titans are expensive, the more resources you deny them the more counters you can field and the more questionable the choice of making a titan gets.
