Rhade 说:In hindsight -- Marnid was right.
1500 gold is silly for battle tournaments. Heavy horse from first round and possible in every single round makes it extremely unbalanced, imo.
The argument for the GS being balanced because it's expensive is the same as heavy horses being balanced because they're expensive -- bumpcav from heavy horses possible in all rounds makes the game rather stale.
Something to think about for next season.
