Gamerhome vs Heroesworld

Kostya for some reason grabbed archers (given their not-so-great prospects), and also placed completely unnecessary birds.

It's not always as smooth as it was for the Chinese player, who got Earth and Intelligence right away. At level 6, he could have gotten some G-type skill like Eagle Eye. Then we would have seen how he managed. And a combat skill is never superfluous for a mage. Especially having 2 external dwellings, it's a sin not to take Archery with Air magic. True, I lost all of them, but that's not the point now :D

And what about Luna? Grindan is also quite the cheater, Mass Slow on 111 and that's it!

+1! Agreed. Grindan is even more dominant.

And how will Mass Slow help Grindan, for example, when taking a minimal conservative on 111?

And who said that Grindan means Conflux? How would Grindan work with other towns? In Michurinsk, Stinger supposedly pulled it off with Grindan for Stronghold, if I'm not mistaken.
