I understand your point about the map. They might place mines close to one player, while a lumber mill is far away at the top, and a quarry is far away at the bottom. And what if the hero has a small movement range? This disrupts the balance!
In general, don't criticize the balance too much; it exists and is good. At least, it's enjoyable to play. :smile44: And that's the most important thing...
Don't you agree?
