The New Economy of Equilibris

[Angelspit]

<a href="http://equilibris.celestialheavens.com"><img src="/http://equilibris.celestialheavens.com/ ... ex_tmb.jpg" align=right vspace=10 hspace=10></a>There is a <a href="/viewtopic.php?t=4863">long-running discussion at the Round Table</a> about how the Heroes of Might and Magic IV economy could be improved. As Dalai explained:



<i>"It's no secret that economy component in HoMM-IV is a bit weaker than in HoMM-III, for example. One good example is Mage guild building. In HoMM-III it required a lot of resources. In HoMM-IV it doesn't. It's not an overlook, because in HoMM-IV mage guild is useless without heroes who are able to cast high level spells, and building such heroes requires a lot of effort, unlike in HoMM-III."</i>



The <a href="http://equilibris.celestialheavens.com">Equilibris Web site</a> contains a screenshot showing the first results of their work in that area. Feel free to join the debate.

I hope they are a bit more careful when this is ready. If I read the image correctly, a person can exchange 4 wood for 5 ore. Since the other images indicate 8 wood for 5 of a rare resource, I assume the usual wood/ore = 1/2 others ratio continues. Thus, by trading back and forth between wood and ore, I see the ability to get arbitrarily large quantities of either (and therefore of everything).

Of course, if this is just a mock-up, then no problem.

Wood is also the most plentiful resource, at least when maps include water. Something else to think about when changing the economy.
