Not in vain.

Antimagic artifacts are the weakest point of the game's balance. Most balance suggestions (both here and on other platforms) are related to the red orb and the cloak (Eagle Eye is second).

In line with the HoMM ideology, changing the functionality of standard objects is undesirable, so suggestions to change the principle of the Orb's operation are not seriously considered, but banning or replacing it is quite acceptable.

While artifacts could only be banned in bulk on all templates at once, the fate of the Orb was debated, but when selective bans on specific templates became possible, the issue resolved itself.

all that's left is to add experience to the units
