Thank you for your message!
I have to agree with you on the wording of "temporary VPs". I hesitated quite a bit on the correct choice of words. I wanted to put supplies or ressource but decided against it to clarify that this would be the source of Victory Points during this mission. I am considering changing it.
When it comes to your point regarding "carry the objective" missions, they aren't my favorite. For example in the basic scenario "relic hunt" a fast unit can whisk an objective away from the front lines relatively easily and bring it to safety in a corner of the map. I wanted to make them fun and interesting and I felt that the objectives staying in the same place but the victory points themselves moving would make it more fair and interesting. I also imagined a group of greedy little goblins staying on the objective until they couldn't move haha.
