In this case, I'd say that it was excessive.
If you compared the resources given with gold depending on rank with WL, WWII was giving too much.
Since this is a beta, that was probably to help people make a lot of stuff and report more bugs.
But now it's too few. It should have been 1/4 of what was given, not the 1/9 that is now.
Anyways, now that there is such a change, I'll save the gold just for city area, since it's no longer good for resources.
