Balance going away is true for all settings in the game. It's common for new players to select age of heros and ruin game balance with leadership or teleport. It's also common for them to drag down the EXP slider and ruin game balance. Or drag the gold bar to 800. These settings are fun for new players precisely because they aren't as balanced. New players enjoy these non standard less balanced games.
