Hmm, interesting.

Well I should say that I was unsure about the hammer change for a long time, although I've now decided I'm in favour of it. But I can see that's it's controversial.

With regard to the lesser of two evils: Item prices can at least be separately modded (in CB1.9 lots of artifacts get a lot cheaper). But so long as the hammer is in the game, every nation has to have a way to get E3, which feels like a nasty and kind of unthematic restriction.

The hope would be that by rebalancing item prices, we can manage to get neither evil.
