Balance in Heroes 5.

Dear Fulgore, you understood what I was talking about, but you slightly misunderstood the conditions of the Competitive... One person has a VERY good tool, while the other has something that is a tool in name only... as dull as a log, what are you going to chop with that? I am saying that this is exactly where the check for the tool will fail, and since there is no such imbalance here, then skill truly decides everything. So the topic is quite appropriate.

Yes, I understood all the conditions correctly; I just don't understand what there is to discuss if the game initially gives players equal conditions. The axes are either equally sharp or vice versa; further on, everything is in the player's hands, though of course not without a factor of luck. If one player is more skilled than the second, then in most cases he will be able to sharpen the axe during the process exactly how he wants and ultimately chop with it however he likes!
