"HW rulez" mod (add-on) for HoMM3.

Wouldn't this make them overpowered? :rolleyes:

Very unlikely. Personally, I would prefer some hidden patches of bluebells, even if there are fewer of them and they cost money, but available right from the 1st week, rather than a lot of them for free, but only after the 3rd week. The same goes for the money – a couple of chests in the 1st week are more valuable than 5K later on.

Theoretically, of course, there could be situations like "entered the computer's respawn area, found a quest artifact on the road, defended it, passed it on, and there were 40 marks," but this is similar to a minimal reward for completing the "Shafter" quest – it's nice, but it doesn't create an imbalance in terms of frequency.
