Some other resources possibly could be included:
Stone, for constuction.
Silver, equivalent to half a gold mine OR construction/upgrades?
Bronze, constuction/upgrades
I mean, those Castle/Tower towns were never built with wood and iron were they?

Too many resources and you bog down the game. Too few and you never have to worry about them.
I used to think the game should have fewer resources, but now I think that 6+Gold is just about right. Why mess with success?

Steel or Iron (or Mithril) will make sense, but it's not unique enough (since there is mercury). Maybe make a Coal resource, or Stone.

@DRACO:
Choose "WE DON"T NEED MORE RESOURCES". That means "I LIKE IT HOW IT IS" also.
@STYQ:
I'd like to have mithril back only it have to do better effects. It would be really nice.
For Example, if Ubisoft allows the grail-creature option and you must buy it, mithril should be the main resource (alike gold).
@FROM MYSELF:
I'd like to have +1 resource and mithril in H5. If we had more towns, we would need more resources then.

Finaly someone agrees that there is such a thing as "town's resource"
Oh w8! I just saw this guy in "All creatures, towns, artifacts. etc. here!" thread that said that.
I don't know how Mithril was used in Wog but I think
lvl 8-9 (out of 10) creatures should cost resources too.
EXAMPLE:
Cavilier
Cost: 500 gold, 2 Mithril
Cyclops
Cost: 400 gold, 2 Mithril, 2 Ore

i think it's a good idea to have mithril +1 extra new resource,but i can't think of any good ideas for what resource would it be and i really like the idea of more levels but i think that 10 levels is cool,9 will be normal creatures and the 10th will be the grail creature,dont forget that it means 19 monsters for each town(9 normal creatures including an upgrade for each one and a grail creature that can't be upgraded since he is already super strong)about towns,i would expect 10 towns,the 9 from heroes 3 AB and a new one.

sure thing it's a good idea having mithril back, bebi-vegita. But I disagree with your in-town options. I would be happy with 7 creatures and from 0-3 different upgrades to choose from... and more than ten towns.

12 towns by Svarog. That's what I like.
New resources: Mithril, Coal(or stone)

I have absolutely no idea. Then again: What is the use of Crystals..... or Gems.... or Sulfur, or Mercury? These are all useless resources anyway.

I think those four: mercury sulf gems and crystals are the main and hard to get, very useful resources. Coal should act as ore or wood, so it shouldn't be so hard to get. Is that what you wanted to mean, Styq?

no, coal shouldn't be for medicine, just another dirty material. If for medicine, I suggest minerals or herbs.

I think that getting your hands on all the mines was a headache enough. It's a fain number of resources till now, and more of them could get messy. Then, it will be too much microeconomy and less combat, strategy and adventuring.

Guys, i think we're getting a bit off track. How much of the game do you want to spend grubbing for resources and how much time slaying your foes?!
Herbs? Mineral Oil? Medicine? No, you buy your potions ready made from a potions shop, it's their job to find the herbs. A hero has more important things to do than mixing up ingredients at a specific temperature and all that.
Resources are used for buying troops and building town structures. Any extra proposed resource should reflect this.

Don't forget, resources (some) are to buy potions, artifacts.
NEW IDEA:
Mithril for buying some major and relic artifacts. Yep, that should be one of four uses: artifacts, upgrades, buildings and other **** things.
Look, if it was MITHRIL PLATE MAIL, so it has to me made from mithril. ELVEN PLATE MAIL - has to be from wood. So we can use resources to BUY artifacts ASIDE from using gold.
