The right way to test this is, in my opinion, the following:
- Play a game against human players, on a map without any coal present. Pick a wood-consuming tribe* (Atlanteans, not Empire). Human opponent, since current AI handles this badly. Try to make some hero-grade soldiers. Observe that everything stagnates while coal burners are doing their best.
- Apply the patch, and repeat.
In my opinion, there is a great difference. Also, I cannot see any drawbacks**. This is true also for maps where coal is present.
The suggested modification, attached to this bug report, is rather uninvasive. What I would like to do is something like this:
That would already be a significantly larger change.
_aD: I do not really understand, why are you opposing this. Do you oppose all changes where you do not see clear benefits to those games you typically play? If no, then I would really like to understand you opposition.
*) Empire needs some wood, I agree. Please try something else anyway.
