Comrades!!!! You have deviated from the topic of discussion!!!! This is, as they say, going off-topic... please discuss physics in the thread specifically designated for that!

I think that Conflux is a decent Castle. Although the unit costs are quite high and the units aren't very strong, it has a good selection of spells (after Grail) and a decent unit growth rate.

Conflux is such a cheesy castle. You can produce 8 Phoenixes per week there!

how is that even possible? Grail + Legion statue?? But you still need to find them... and by the time you do, the map might unexpectedly end!!!

And even if you attack it with five dragons! Phoenixes always focus on speed. Conflux sucks!!!

but I think Conflux is a decent castle. It has a larger growth rate and all the spells (after Grail), but the creatures are quite expensive and not very strong.

I agree. There's no way to buy all the creatures, and if you find a couple more dwellings, it's even worse.

Conflux is a good castle, but it's definitely not overpowered (it might be unbalanced, but IMHO, that's not the case). I've played both with and against it, and I think REgulus is right: you just need to know how to play with different castles. I've used Conflux to defeat Rampart, Necropolis, and Haven. Playing as Rampart or Necropolis, I've also defeated Conflux. The fact that the castle is strong at the beginning is offset by its weakness in the late game. You also need to find the Grail and the necessary artifacts, especially if you're playing on large maps.

In the end, Conflux is strong in some areas and weak in others. That's what's required for good gameplay. And that's all there is to it...

Yes, Maëlgrym is right; it actually weakens over time unless, of course, there are many dwellings. Because other castles, for the most part, become stronger over time (especially Necropolis).

No, the Conflux is definitely not an overpowered castle. Honestly, it annoys me sometimes, but when I get tired of playing other factions, I don't mind playing it just for a change of pace... As for its strength, this castle is well-balanced – it doesn't significantly outperform or underperform compared to others. Even if we consider the Grail, for example, placing it in the Tower or the Conflux – both have their advantages, and it's hard to say which is worse.
P.S. Personally, I would choose to place the Grail in the Conflux.

I won't try to prove anything. I'll just point out a simple fact: my friend plays better than me, but when I play as the Elves, he suddenly starts nervously smoking on the sidelines (he loses without a chance). That's how it is...

Conflux is a strong castle, but not overpowered. Fairies die instantly. Encountering Fairies is a Necromancer's dream. Strong, unupgraded units of levels 2-3 – how else? Fire/energy elementals – an average unit considering everything. Earth elementals – that's just laughable. Psycho/magical units – the damage is area-of-effect, but they only have 75/80 health and low damage. Birds and Phoenixes – well, you have to compensate for the drawbacks somehow. In general, the castle is very dependent on upgrades, even though they are cheap. But they take resources and time. University – and you don't want to pay the money? It's not overpowered in any way.

You forgot to mention magic, but otherwise, everything seems correct... After all, there are a number of spells with which it is almost unbeatable... perhaps that's why this question arose...

There are several spells that make him almost unbeatable...

For example? I would like to know your point of view.
Any castle with a specific type of magic will be strong, but there are still many ways to defeat such a castle.

A lot of time has passed since I created this thread... And I understood a number of relative reasons why it is called that... But still, we defeat Conflux, and even very easily. The main thing is that the opponent does not have combat fire spells, otherwise the game can be considered over...

Correction: I didn't fully explain what I meant - if your opponent is playing as Conflux and casts something fiery and something evil...

Why the opponent? Didn't you get anything mixed up? What kind of magic does Conflux "fear" from "fire"? As far as I remember, Conflux has at least 3 monsters with immunity to fire - the maximum number of creatures with such an "ability" from the third game ;)

Everything is explained clearly; it's simply because of the sudden change in Ley's behavior – he started picking out individual phrases and not really paying attention to what's written. :)
Conflux is considered overpowered not only for the reasons you mentioned... after all, it does offer a certain advantage in rapid development, cheap construction of a 7th-level building, the quantity and strength of individual levels, and the presence of overpowered heroes!
Of course, it's possible to win, but if heroes from other factions are banned, why not ban Conflux as well!?
