I have been following those updates and i really like reading the optimism behind the editor tool or mod support, something that should have been there since release, deftly those things are important for an aoe game, but i think the expectation is beyond reality, those features do not increase player base but they are useful to keep players crafting and SP content, in the best scenario that would keep like 50% of their actual playerbase more interested to stay in the game, but not those that are already gone, those things are not enough and i know cause modding is something for the really hardcore community of each game.
Balancing may change the meta, but so far everyone complains about their poor balancing, making weak civs worse and strong civs even better and that seems to be the real issue behind the relic team not putting enough attention to the current meta and pro players complains.
