What are we betting on? =) That this isn't a farce??? And that most duels are played on small maps, and games aren't duels at all... I'm not even talking about non-duel games... On week 3, against 10 Wyverns, there's usually nothing to counter them with...
If you want to convince me, play against me ))) otherwise, there's NO OTHER WAY =))))))))))
On weeks 3-4, Necromancers visit Utopias... and you're talking about 10 Wyverns... A skilled Necromancer, with a bit of luck, can gather up to 500 skeletons in 3 weeks... and sometimes even more.

To be honest, I haven't played with S-comps for several years ;)
I just play occasionally... against 7 AI opponents... That's why, when discussing castles, I don't even talk about playing against the AI... I don't see the point in it...
Slowed down by Slow... And we'll speed them up... or heal them, depending on what we get... we still have important early-game units - don't talk as if we don't have any magic at all... Tanya was right, Water is often given... And if you're not an idiot :D, you won't put a Hydra on the rampart to just stand there ))) good flying support is available... Wyverns and Snakes....
I disagree about the imperfect balance... There's always a way to counter everything... Against Necromancers, with tactics (as discussed in the "How to defeat Garthan" topic), against Conflux, with the expert spell "Curse"... It's just that some are easier to play against than others, but there are NO BAD CASTLES! There are just people who don't know how to play them ;)

And playing on a Random XL map against Swamp... ugh... How many Wyverns do you think I'll gather in the Snake Pits????

Yes... you have some magic... but only one essential detail... you'll use it with little benefit to yourself... in most cases, your opponent will always have the right of last choice, due to having the fastest unit - AND THAT'S VERY IMPORTANT!

Well, yes, in most championships, only idiots play, and most of my friends who have been playing Heroes for as long as they can remember think that Necromancer and Conflux are overpowered... only you, sir, have a different opinion... but that's your business. I won't argue about this anymore.

And how many Champions do you think a player from the North will gather on the same map, or how many Black Knights will a Necromancer from the South gather (along with 5 tons of skeletons)... or how many Spirit Telepaths will a player playing as Conflux gather? IT'S SILLY TO ARGUE ABOUT THIS!:)
