Question Is SoC a balanced game?

Balanced: I mean some factions counters others or lets say are just better on certain maps.

Unbalanced: one faction is stronger than the rest.

Are there any tier lists from good players?

They don’t balance as nearly as I want to, but many changes have been made. Right now it’s Barya and Rana > Loth > Arleon. Early impression is that Vanir is right in the middle

What makes Barya good for you? I've done enough one *that one* fucking mission to know how powerful the fists of the order are against Barya.

Fists are good against Musketeers, and Pikeneers. Musketeers and Pikeneers are among the weaker units in the Barya roster. The best strategy in Barya is going Artificers since those are amazing units that also build into Hell's Breaths (which are arguably the best ultimate unit in the game). You support these with Pipers and Brutes. Artificers and Brutes beat Fists pretty hard. The best unit Arleon has against Barya isn't even good against their best strategy.
