We just finished a game with the Flute, and the churches, of which there were two right under the opponent's two main cities, had a decisive impact on the final result.
(although it allows you to capture workshops at speed 9, which Flux cannot boast)

Note that I don't use the overused and well-known word "imba" to describe what's happening, because this isn't an "imba," it's an absurdity, it's something absolutely unacceptable for any sane person who doesn't want to solve 2+2 every day, every hour, every minute, every damn second of their life and claim how smart they are, and how amazing their skill is. I don't play Heroes for that. I don't enjoy spending all my free time on this game for that reason. To each their own ©.

Okay, the poll basically showed what needs to be said.
In general, I've always been amused by polls in which the answers include suggestions to change something not in the rules, but to have the developers rework something. :D :D :D Like, 19 people voted for changes, and the team immediately rushed to rework it. CoolStoryBob
