This is actually a pretty neat solution to the balancing problem and to the potential restriction of moves.
Say you have quite a few cool moves for Subs, but having them all at once would reach gamebreaker levels. So, instead of cutting content and leaving it hollow, you can redistribute them into variations which fundamentally have the same basic operating principles, only have different strongpoints. So Scorpion is not going to lose his spear, but can summon demons and have swords etc...
This is the same restriction that applies for example in Warhammer 40.000. You can have six troop units (infantry), and three heavy support units (big guns)
So, let us say, we are playing a 2000 point game. I could buy as many Land Raider tanks from my points as I want, but I cannot, as more than three would wipe the opposition out in the first or at worst, second turn if I have the initiative.
I COULD have those six tanks, but I can only field three, because otherwise it is not a game.
Exactly this. It is genius.. and it is a solid marketing focal point.
It allows for extra depth without the wasted man hour's balancing what would be (in most cases) an impossible-to-balance scenario.
