FA can actually be very micro heavy. Lots of high ranked players micro some of the units to get quite an advantage, dodge attacks from a unit etc.... Overall it is a macro game but it's unique in that macro and micro are integral parts of it.
It's a fine balance they have, at one side they have to think of the multiplayer community and on the other the 97% of their player base. I'm sure quite a lot of skirmish players like the artillery post as it currently is. I think some other counter to it instead of making it rubbish would be preferable. It's good to see the T2 air buffed. Are the orbital nullifiers working now or are they still bugged?
More stuff is coming than I could have ever hoped for. I'm very excited for what lies ahead.
