Discussion: Balance template, features, and tactics.

Here's another argument in favor of Flax: the probability of another (neutral) Conflux appearing on the map is 50%, just like Necropolis in zones 3 or 4. Moreover, this is already a city, not a village. Regarding the Swamp – reaching Hydras is, in my opinion, the main option, while Gorgons + Vivas are a backup plan if resources are scarce.
