Which faction do you like the most?

Message from Magnus
But, with them, you can't build a level 6 dwelling on days 2-3, and no one at level 5 can kill with a single glance.

Well, each castle has its own advantages, and if you could build a level 6 dwelling in the Conflux on days 2-3, that would be super cheating.
By the way, if you say that

Phoenixes, the University, Polar Lights, and Smarties compensate for the lack of health and other stats of monsters from levels 1-6

, they don't compensate, they simply overwhelm, and I want to note that when a hero is leveled up, it doesn't matter anymore (that they supposedly have little health, it's not that little; Storm Elf -25, more than all other level 2 units; Water Elemental -30, also not bad; Fire Elemental -35, basically like everyone else, but there are 10 of them; Earth Elemental -40, so-so, but there are 8 of them; Mind Elf -80, take the same Wyvern and Cyclops, for example;) and on top of that, they also reveal everyone around and no one can retaliate; Phoenixes - due to their growth and speed, the first strike can decide everything;) )
I myself play with the Conflux when I want to win! You take Moner, buy him magic at the University, and then just take Archery and Wisdom (let's say Tactics) - and he just runs around the map and beats everyone up!!!:D
Sorry Katrine, for going off-topic. (I understood the remark)
