Which Castle do you prefer to play as?

Oh no, it's cheating. Especially on large maps. When 50 Golden Dragons and the like join you for free. Even if they aren't specialized (not from your Castle) and don't really fit, you just pass them on to hero 2, 3, or 4. Trust me, when you gather all your forces and defeat the strongest enemy hero, losing 70% of your troops, and the next day some idiot with 50 level 7 creatures shows up at your doorstep, you start to understand that diplomacy is cheating!

Rock, paper, scissors – it's such a childish game. Its main principle is that there is a counter-force for every strength. In other words,
- complete balance.
Here's a simple example:
1 kills 2, but loses to 3
2 kills 3, but loses to 1
3 kills 1, but loses to 2
I hope you understand.

You're the one who's cheating. Don't you like that others have diplomacy? Just play as a diplomat, what's the problem? Then you'll be the cheater and won't be able to complain. Please - take a Castle with a great hero - Adel - she has the Blessing and Diplomacy specializations.

Not only is diplomacy not available in all Castles, but also, all experienced players play with a random Castle and Hero.
