There I was, quietly enjoying a casual game of heroes, working my way through the map against 3 other normal level AI, everything going well enough. A bit of a challenge at my fortress as I got attacked, as I launched an attack on the AI player I was pursuing. Their last hero, I managed to engage 5 steps outside of their last city, an evenly matched fight. My 50 top tier creatures against their 50, my 200 2nd tier creatures against their 180. I managed to win, and, unfortunately, couldn't quite reach their castle in my turn. Then it switched to their turn, and somehow, their hero reappeared at their castle. No problem I thought, they have no creatures left, I will finish it next turn.

But then the "Auto balancing" mechanic kicked in. Their hero marched out with a brand new, fully stocked army... No, not the same 50 top tier creatures they had last time... But 830! I did some maths... There had not been enough turns in the game to get half that if they had 6 castles at maximum tier since turn 1 with infinite resources.

What could have been a great game was instead just like playing against that teenage cheat again.

But I thought maybe its a glitch... So I started a new game, few weeks later... And lo and behold, much the same happened.

What a disappointment.
