How could anyone come up with the idea of balancing armies based on HP? Does anyone seriously think that this is the main factor in winning? :confused:

You could write this under any balance option – changing HP to something else. We tested a balance with equal numbers, a balance with approximate figures based on test feel, and now we're testing with HP stacks adjusted to 1500 and overall army damage adjusted to around 2500-2600. Without suggestions and tests, there is no development. The previous balance was criticized by the community – here's an alternative option that's undergoing testing. It's quite possible that we'll revert back. If you don't try, you won't know.

But the point isn't just about balancing the army's strength, but also about balancing the bonuses and magic for it.
