after yesterday's game, we noticed that they are on the map unbalanced sources, mainly
gold.
loc 1 has 450 gold
loc 2.3 have 1320 gold (loc 2 has 700 gold and loc 3 has 515 gold)
loc 4 has 470 gold
loc 5 has 310 gold
loc 6,7 have 882 gold (loc 6 has 395 gold and loc 7 has 480 gold)
loc 8 has 310 gold
difference loc 5,8 against loc 2 is 390 gold (it is 780 recruits)
Coal isnt so big difference, but loc 4 has 950 coal and loc 5 has 1300 coal (it is 100 xbow, though loc 5 has less space for building)
iron isnt so important, but north has more than south
Loc 1 and 4 has 352 and 360. Well. Everithing else is true. And its quite unfair... To, what do you think?
Well I expected Kruci was out of gold so I watched the replay again (more then 2.5 hour long game, maybe the longest game I played on this map). Kruci's mines were still producing, 1/4 was depleted. But he was the first to be defeated before 2 hours so I can't tell how long those mines would last. Resources aren't completely the same for 2 reasons. All have access to atleast 4 goldmines and 4 ironmines (number of mines was more important for me then total amount). And I placed a very large amount of resources in general to avoid depletion even if a very long game was played, like the one we did yesterday. Anyway, I almost ran out of coal in that game but I set up 3 markets in the end to trade for resources if needed. Mully, kruci is right about amount of gold on 1 and 4. Since they both have access to more gold ore in the far north (never seen anyone needed to build mines there though).
