Don't you feel sad realizing what the game has become? You don't play maps with water, you don't play maps with weak mobs either. Only standard. Scout, secondary hero, external dwellings, Hives, Griffin Conservatories, level up, take one or two Dragon Utopias, and then the finale. Nothing extra. Every hero is busy. Defeating mobs by millimeters, one random morale procs and you surrender, miscalculated a bit – you surrender, a failed respawn – you surrender. Chess, damn it.
But many think that Heroes is more popular than chess and you can play for 12 hours because they have nothing better to do in life :).
P.S. Tell me how to build a Capitol in week 1. I've never managed it earlier than by day 121.
