so i have more time to test SOLO SPEEDRUN with minus -3 Gold per Creep
(and its doing so well, even without any gold upgrades - but i order to improve the time i guess NOW you really want to buy a gold-upgrade ability.
as a fun fact i didnt buy/use Regenerate ability, because solo'ing isnt about waitning in a corner to regen some HP.)
so sologame testing is finished:
-----------------------------
with the current -3 Gold penalty on kills which comes with 6.1.0 for Soloplayer.
still finished Temple of Bones in 68 Turns.
489 Kills in total, which added up to (489 x 3 =) 1467 Gold Penalty, was noticeable during play,
and i had to use almost all map resources.
Grandmaster-Penalty probably estimated up to 678 Gold, which get on Top, in camparison to EXPERT Difficulty.
no gold-ability was used, and as a fun fact i didnt use major regenerate-ability or magic healing (though i missed it in end game
).(only default minor-regen + ankh boost was used)
i think next time i would get a gold ability right of the start, which is effectively one less ability slot, and a minor setback at start
but will compensate 33% of the penalty in long run, leaving some room for improvement.
eneded the game with 1080+ unused Gold. so even in case of retreat, next day-cycle would have been even stronger.
so the balance seem about right to me, you need to use all resources and use day/night cycle for your advantage.
so i felt challenged somehow and had to think about how to use resources and build up.
right now, i just wait to be able to replace the old Version
