Rock paper scissors or all equal?

from Demigod Forums

In light of balance issues being discussed amongst the various classes my question is, is Demigod supposed to have a rock paper scissors approach such that some classes are naturally better against others or are all supposed to have an equal chance against one another? If its rock paper scissors then we need to know who is supposed to go against whom such as assassins against other assassins and generals against other generals etc. Otherwise if its all supposed to be perfectly balanced then were in for a long MMORPG style "buff me, nerf them" road.

Some are slightly better against certain demigods (builds rather) than others, but I don't think it's an intended RPS mechanic. Generally DG can hold their own against anybody. Yes there are "X is OP" threads about all DGs already.

It's both, as each demigod/assassin has several different tech trees they can choose to go down, some tech trees work better than others, and on top of that there's always citadel as a back up strategy. Don't underestimate the power of the citadel.

There may be some demigods who have slight advantage over others, but not significantly enough to the point where a good player can't adapt their strategy to counter.
