Basics M&M: Heroes VI Guide

On the contrary to the previous parts, in Heroes VI we have only four resources - gold, woods, stones and crystals. We collect them during travelling - they often lay somewhere and just waits for us. It especially worth to check fireplaces - it usually provides piece of gold and random resource.

Resources are usually guarded

Second way of getting resources are mines and sawmills - we conquer them defeating guards and taking control over them. All resources are important, but you can see easily that crystals are hardly useful at the beginning (they are used mostly in more sophisticated buildings, and recruiting 7th level of units).

There is one old dwarf song" Gold, gold, gold" - nice, isnt' it?

We can gain gold not only from the mines and collecting them from a map, but also thanks to treasure chests. When we find one, we always have to decide - we'd prefer few thousands coins or development of a hero? The second one is much more worthwhile - experienced hero is much more precious than any amount of gold.
