I don't have any problems with alternative building options. I build generators for archers/mages, and then, if there aren't any, I build flyers. And never infantry.
Well, well. I wonder how ballistae on level 2 in a castle will help you? :D And for Sylvan, tigers on level 2 are more useful and stronger than elves. Not to mention that archers can be blocked, and infantry in melee combat will break the block much faster than many flyers. And teleportation for Haven hasn't been canceled either. And if you try to fight Dungeon with Stronghold... :smile33: :smile34:
