The food limit - way too big?

Cynical people imagine the worst. And the worst is usually correct.

The thing is that a hero, at level 5+ is in every way superior to five supply worth of units. That's unbalanced.

Needing heroes to kill other heroes? That's poor game design.

Not vs 5+ Tier 3 melee or high powered units. And with support from other heroes.
