Resources in Heroes 5. — General

Before I started paying close attention to this topic, I didn't really notice anything special about the resources.

But if this is what's happening here, then I think the resources are fine. It's true that at first, I got crystals and gems mixed up (and I'm not colorblind – I have a medical certificate). They made them look too similar. Mercury also used to look better. But I have no complaints about silver, wood, and ore (I always call them stones).

Maybe we should come up with an upgrade for the resource gathering buildings, limit the resources, make resources appear every month (like neutral creatures), or something else? Maybe that would make things more interesting. As someone mentioned above, the value lies not in the type of resource, but in its quantity...

Do you mean some kind of improvement that would allow you to get, say, 4 ores a day instead of two? That's a good idea, but how would the mines be upgraded? This question needs to be thought through....

In Heroes of Might and Magic, mines were upgraded for a week using mithril. In Heroes 5, it could be done for gold or Town Portal.

Finishing the mines?
This evokes not heroic thoughts, but memories of something like... Majesty, where you develop a kingdom.
As for gold... I think he doesn't find a pile of it in the middle of the forest, but rather, for example, wanders into a village - when gold is lying not far from the castle - and collects taxes. Do we have a kingdom, or what?
And in general, gold is usually guarded by various creatures - vampires, elves, and other neutrals, so you can't say that gold is just lying around.
Or maybe, it's more convenient for vampires to keep gold in bars rather than in coins?

And I haven't seen any villages yet... By the way, after the 1.3 patch, I'm catastrophically short on mercury – it limits growth... and there are few stones...
But now you can spend more money on liches and skeletons...
And the upgradeable mines can be well-designed so that they fit harmoniously into the game...

Yeah, like in Heroes of Might and Magic!

And what letters do you use to write? Like in an alphabet. If it's used somewhere, it means it's a good thing. Why reinvent the wheel?
Or maybe you could discover resource deposits as you progress through the game? Like in Civilization?

With patch 1.3, there were no obvious changes to the balance... and there should definitely be enough mercury and stones... upgradeable mines are good, but not in the right place... it's still cheating... and that's what will spoil the balance...

The cost of buildings has changed for me. Especially for dragons: 6000 gold and 20 mercury and stone each (if I remember correctly). And it's harder to get 20 mercury than 15000, as it was before... Or, is this just a personal bug?

they could come up with a chest that could function in different ways, so you never know exactly what you'll find, and there would be a choice between bonuses, and the mandatory experience resource could be made in the form of a book, but they never came up with that anywhere.

Regarding the chest – that's a cool idea!:D :D :D
And the experience book has already been implemented in Warcraft 3!
The gems need to be changed; they should be different colors! And these are some kind of blue!...:eek:
And you could also do this: every week, resources will appear at your mines!:cool: :D ;)

Has anyone noticed that after patch 2.1, resources start disappearing slowly, and sometimes even a ghostly shadow remains? :smile40:

Hmm... they could have made the stones look nicer. But overall, no complaints. Maybe we'll see embossed gold and faceted gemstones in the 50th add-on.
