"We, the inventors of chess, have made an important change. From now on, we will be removing the bishops and knights from all games! (who ever uses them late game anyway?) Instead, we have decided to give everyone two extra rooks and two extra queens, or one extra rook or three queens.
To maintain overall balance, from now rooks and queens move in the opposite patterns to before!
With a smaller choice of pieces, this will shake up the game. Your strategies are sure to become more intense, leading to more meaningful decisions for the discerning strategist. This will surely make the game more engaging and more fun!"

The inventor of chess has been dead for 1400 years, so this is all a load of rubbish (until you get concrete proof for this being real, which is highly unlikely)

Hi, thanks for making this a post, although I think it's plagiarism to take someone's idea and run with it uncredited.
But seriously if they do this why not just take out a tech tree at this point? Let's say get rid of tanks and ordnance. That would make the game simpler and they could pretend it would make it more fun like removing the resources.
Five resources and six tech classes is a perfect combo. Each tree is dependent mainly on one resource and uses the others. It encourages strategy this way.

You're A N G E R Y about the resource update? I don't really mind tbh, though it will take some getting used to
