I agree with you, SaberCherry...the resource costs of things do not appear to be equal across nations. For some nations...like giants...this would make sense.

I sort of think that the resource requirements were used as a way to balance the nations rather than to accurately reflect historical resource costs. I am very much open to being corrected with respect to this opinion. But if this was done to balance the nations, that isn't necessarily bad.

I have a sneaking suspicion that there will be balance changes in the patch.
