I have not read people boasting about overpaying to kill a rat. As I read it, there are people who simply report the state of the game as it is and what the natural gameplay is and do not fancy on how the game should be played under imaginary constraints nothing in the game hints at.
For the defense flag, it would be again a simple order of magnitude. No deep change. I already stated a major difference with the attack flag. The attack flag exposes to a minimum risk, revoking a defense flag to nothing. Wizards can die killed by rats.
It is hard to see how, in the spirit of the game, the large reward attack flag could be an exploit. As I tried to keep my expectations as low as possible for this game, I skipped any official/unofficial report on possible game content. Yesterday, I read the official website.
It states that heroes are now goal driven. As a King, the position given by the game, it is consequent to choose the adequate goal and the adequate reward for each hero.
As I try to tell my opinion on this or that, I often include argumentation when some people seem to forget about it and simply cast stuff resembling more with whims that anything else.
If there is an exploit, it would be putting an explore flag on the front door of a wizard tower to increase the chances a wizard, class not interested in explore flags, take it with no risks. And yet...
But I am eager of reading an argumentation on how the large reward attack flag is an exploit.

Despite you never managed to back up your claim that exploiting this exploit is intended the way this game is intended to be played , you keep calling it an the way this game is intended to be played.
We're both guessing here, and until a dev. gives the real truth I am going to be in the conviction 100% returns with fortified heroes and having them do your filthy work is... infact... a total EXPLOIT.
Guessing on this matter? The "guess" (more a deduction) I made was that the consumption of magic bazaar potions was the way the developpers found to palliate to heroes storing wealth in later stages of the game. I also take note that the current taxation and wealth distribution is an efficient way to tackle MU balance issues.
For the rest, I only played the game. I dont fancy on how the game Majesty 2 should be played but I report on ways that might be efficient to play it.
No surmises here.
Nothing hints at the developpers wanting it to be otherwise since the 100 pc return is consistently adopted throughout the whole game. It is nothing specific to magic bazaar potions as everything else is tailored the same.
Reading the website yesterday
The economy of Majesty 2 is an elaborate and intriguing system. When the King (the player) gives money to a hero, they don’t just hire someone for a certain sum of money which they will never see again. Rather, given an efficiently developed economy, the money will return to the King’s treasury sooner or later – in the form of taxes paid by guilds, markets, shops and other members of the economic system of the game.
Seems quite explicit and corresponds with ingame experience.
The 100 pc return is a different issue from the Magic Bazaar potions consumption. You might want to start a distinct thread on it. The magic bazaar potions consumption doesnt generate it. It mere emphazes it.
No, because they are not the issue.
Nor is the gold generated by the Palace, trading post, marketplace or magic bazaar. All of it is "evaporated" at some point (building, spells, research). However, hero gold ain't.
The issue isn't hero gold aiding your economy, it's aiding your heroes economy by pumping cash in it, and see no ill results of it at all, as all eventually slumbers back to the sovereign economy.
Gold HAS to evaporate at some point in the hero economy to prevent infinite gold spawnage in that economy. And don't all you guys hate MFKS1 economy just for that, the infinite gold spawnage? Don't you prefer MFKS2 economy? Then why not put it through to the heroes economy?
I dont understand this point at all.
Where does the distinction between buildings, upgrades(potions research cost etc) and heroes "economy" come from?
The building and the heroes are not different. They "act" the same economicallywise.
Building: start cost evaporated.
Upgrades: start cost evaporated
Hero: start cost evaporated.
Later, they are located in a sequence of positions in the economic cycle, with no fundamental differences from an economic point of view. Heroes and buildings are links in the economic cycles between the King and the King.
Neither the shops nor the guilds vaporize money. They are like the hero. They play a similar part to the hero's. Mere vectors to transfer wealth in the economic cycle.
As to hating on Majesty economy, I dont. I underlined that Majesty and Majesty 2 play on different principles now.
