I've read and experienced why 2 hero games are much harder for the heroes to win. The game does a really good job balancing strength of abilities for each character in general I've found so far, but the glaring problem is the difficulty for 2 hero games and specifically becuause of the lesser number of search tokens- leading to lesser gold in campaign.Each quest allows more search tokens for more heroes, but haven't they got this backwards? Surely it is better to have more search tokens for less heroes (so 4/3/2 for 2/3/4 heroes). We will be trying it but that could lead to much better balance for 2 hero games (our group only like focusing on one hero each), as they will then have more gold not less to buy items.
Or if that sways it too much then how about just using the same amount of search tokens (probably 3) irrespective of heros numbers. Why does it really need to change? It really seems like the lack of tokens is what could be to blame for overly difficult 2 hero games (for the heros).
Our group has been very frustrated by the difficulty of 2 hero campaigns, and lack of gold for items is a big reason. Thoughts on this idea? Has anyone tried it?
