[o]I don't think tombs are too easy. You need to prepare yourself for them with upgrades and advisors, just having Explore 5 plus support isn't enough. In our campaign, the good +Explore advisors are highly prized and quickly scooped up by players going earlier in the turn order. So to explore tombs as the Prince, you have to spend money on upgrades, or hope to get lucky with an advisor draw. It seems to me this is working as intended: another catch-up mechanism for trailing players.[/o]
As the prince I've had no real issue. Granted we have yet to close a tomb so its all at the 7 difficulty. It usually involves me running at it with an explore 5 ship, support with the support upgrade (we've also never seen a tomb exploration use anything but explore. I might then use research cards or not as I typically have enough fortune to throw at it if need be. You also have something else you can use to buy successes that varies in each tomb.
