I actually don't see anything inherently wrong with that. In Starcraft you might pursue a particular strategy on a particular map, and your race has maybe a handful of strategies available to it total depending on the opposing race. That same strategy may be completely unviable on another map. That doesn't really make the game less interesting. That said, I am a bit surprised by the Viking change because Seven intentionally nerfed a number of things like fast workers in a way that doesn't remove their uniqueness. But naval balance is so brittle and with circumnavigation removed I don't exactly object to the change. I don't see the other changes as reducing the interestingness of the game, which is the real concern for me.
