Heroes 6 - Discussion

This isn't a simplification, it's a change. Since there are fewer resources, there will be a struggle for ALL resources, meaning there won't be as many of them. Instead of piles of resources, there will be something else. These resources will be 7 times more valuable, and now, because someone got the resources they need, it won't be possible to gain any advantage. That's just one thing.

For balance, this is indeed better, but the game itself assumes a huge amount of randomness in everything, from artifacts on the map to luck triggering in battle. In any case, we don't yet know what principle will be used to organize city building and how it will differ between the various factions. Previously, some races needed more of one resource, while others needed more of another. Some needed a lot of ore and not many precious resources, while others always had enough basic resources but were short on precious ones... There was diversity, but within the bounds of balance. What will happen now is unclear.
