1. Actually, Lora with a guaranteed 3 stacks is NOT a demoralization and NOT a weak start. Yes, the Miner is significantly weaker. But 25+ greed harpies is not a demoralization, but a separate direction capable of doing very tempo-based things, especially against hordes of golems/earth elementals etc.
2. Necromancer without a stack is totally weak at the start. Plus, skeletons accumulate wildly slowly due to nerfed necromancy. Talking about an imba stack on 121-122 is somewhat noobish... The same Barbarian in HotA already has an army for Dragon Utopia by that time, and we are NOT talking about Jebus Cross. In the late game - yes, Castle is very strong, but again, IMHO it's inferior to Inferno, because Inferno in HotA is very strong even at the start.
p.s. Overall, the post gave a feeling similar to that of posts by Heroin and КО regarding Mage Guild restructuring. People write conclusions based on assumptions rather than experience from specific games. It's not cool somehow, worse than flood IMHO:).
