your questions regarding the game rules (improving the interpretation).

In HoMM it is definitely Conflux, no questions asked ;).

Yeah, sure =D fakes that you can't reach in the first week (and after the first week, what's the point of them...), birds that are more expensive and even weaker, and fewer in number too. With such odds, what are you supposed to fight with there?)) A dozen fish and air elementals?) Yeah, sure, there are birds in Tower (but what do you take them out with?), you can upgrade them, etc., but more often than not, if the template isn't rich, you'll have to wait until the third week for the next growth and at least some kind of decent meat.
