After a while of thinking on whether i thought gold would be a good substitution, i came to this conclusion.
Gold Would keep Defences in check.
Not that i'm an expert, but IMO, gold would work
HOWEVER!
I still want stone! I can live without it, but stone is another resource, another thing to fight for. More Power. Stone adds to the game in my opinion. Now as swinger said, i don't know what AOM is like, and i am baseing all of my opinions on AOK. That is correct. I may be in complete error do to ignorance. But i'm assuming that AOM plays very similarly to AOK, with exception as God Attacks and MU's. I can only see stone adding to the game.
And about the Stone Giant. Doesn't affect me, except for the fact that the more differnent kinds of units in AOM, the better. But if it wasn't ever used, or had any practicle perpuse, then i guess i would just assume it be gone.
