Monarch, don't be so literal. For some reason, everyone understands what they mean, but you're just being stubborn and arguing.
NO, CHEATING IS ONLY DONE THROUGH NON-GAMEPLAY METHODS.
What difference does it make how, if it creates an imbalance in the game?
EVERYONE understands this, except you.

TMNT, you're also being ridiculous. You brought up those dragons again. IT DOESN'T MATTER WHO YOU RECRUIT!!
If your opponent has +100 Cyclops or 250 Gorgons, will it be easier for you? No way! It doesn't matter who joins, in the early stages of the game, you'll be overwhelmed even by 100 Golden Elves!
And by the way... Maxed-out diplomacy allows you to recruit some types of troops - for free.
Where do you get these crazy numbers from???!!! 100 Elves, okay, but 100 Cyclops??? Okay, let's assume they're guarding something. Well, if they're guarding something important, then they're aggressive and won't join you under any circumstances!

Judging by the last two pages, Monarch can confidently compete for the world championship in Heroes 3).
2TMNT: The phrase about XL in a month was hilarious)). Of course, if you create a map, like many available online, with 4 trees and two rocks on 144 squares), then yes, it's possible in a month. But otherwise, you simply won't have time to reach the enemy if they are far enough away from you.
By the way, a question for those in the know: is there any resource that provides information about world championships in Heroes? If so, please provide a link (I'm not participating :)).
Regarding the topic: An experienced player doesn't care which Castle they play, because they are experienced enough to see the advantages where others see the disadvantages).
I'm talking about playing against the AI. Playing against a human player will undoubtedly take longer. Unlike the AI, a human player has innate intelligence, not artificial intelligence. :) And the AI is a moron. I build everything up to Snake Pits and then I'm off. After that, I build up the Castle as I develop, leaving some troops there, and the AI can't defeat me. I arrive for an army around the end of the month. Until then, I use the army that's already in the Castles I've captured. Since the AI has a lot of money and resources at the beginning, its Castle is already well-developed. A new Castle means a new hero and a new army. From each Castle, you send troops in opposite directions to capture other Castles. However, towards the very end, it always turns out that there's an enemy hero with an awesome, completely undamaged army because they haven't participated in battles. That's when I unleash my army of Bog Warriors on them. :smile42:
