After a few games, he realized that Vistan is in no way inferior to, for example, Valesk. Recently, on the second week, he entered a max-lair with 60+ grubs, 5 ducks, 8 wasps, and a weak devourer. So, the flies didn't dare to bite the grubs even once. Valesk, with marks, would have taken a beating in a similar situation, but Vistan only lost the devourer and 6 basilisks. In general, almost all swamp creatures are no worse than castle creatures and are clearly stronger overall, and also cheaper to build. You're wrong about the grubs too; they can do a lot of damage in the first or second week. I would probably choose the Swamp as one of the first options for a balanced game.
That swamp creatures are no worse than castle creatures – that's a given! :D But in a balanced game, I wouldn't consider it a priority because of the native town. But I repeat, everything said is IMHO.
