Balance in Heroes 5.

In your example, the competition should be held not in chopping wood, but between these lumberjacks, i.e., who can defeat whom. And how do you think, who will win, a fool with a sharp axe or a master, even if he fights with his bare hands?

Well, I think that eXeCuToR was talking about a duel between equally skilled masters, but who are in unequal conditions. But again, I want to say that the balance in the game is such that in most cases, the strongest should really win, even if his axe is a little duller! So, here you, ICE, are right!
