If you do want to talk about fleshing out the sub hero game, please make a new thread and summon your ideas! :)

As far as the rest of what you said, everything in the end is a game balance issue. However, if you have everyone affected the same or similarly by a change that game balance change becomes moot for the most part. Because everyone is on an equal footing eventually.

What specifically did you like about explore and commerce for sub hero? As I said though, new thread if we are going to get into that.
