You know, I’ve told this story many times, but I once played against the Academy faction. And in a battle, improved golems with an initiative of 15 ran across the entire map and started tearing me apart... It was just terrifying... And gremlins are very good for level 1... And genies are exactly what the magic castle was missing, namely, a FREE bonus because with the construction of their lair (+2 genies, +500 gold), they completely pay for themselves, without forcing you to spend the castle's treasury on their upkeep.
