Dungeon and Tower are two sides of the same coin... no resources means defeat!

Only the Dungeon is still cheaper than the Tower, and by a significant margin...

But the guild needs to be placed third, which isn't always convenient!

And the tower needs a library! And all resources are needed for mages, genies, and nagas, and quite a lot of them!

I agree in principle; they all require money!

You can develop quite well in the Dungeon at the beginning, even without much wealth, and win on any map – unlike the Tower, they are strong even without magic, and if you have a 5th-level guild and dragons, they are the strongest of all by a large margin... Although, everyone has their own opinion.

Yeah, but you can’t put a Gem of Vision on a creature to give it 200% sight! I messed up in the championship because of that, and had to go for a Dungeon! They completely crushed me when I played Dungeon on that map!

It's always unpleasant when you're short on resources... With extreme bad luck, it's sometimes even difficult to build harpies, but that would be incredibly unlucky...

Oh, sorry, I meant upgraded harpies... :o

Yeah, it's been a while since I last checked in, and there are already 2 pages of posts.
Regarding the "half-dead" dragons, that's just nonsense. They are the weakest units in the Necropolis faction.
I usually play as Barbarians or Fortress, as they require very few different resources (like the Tower). But on Large and Extra Large maps, the Tower develops well. And don't even talk about the strength of Inferno; it's probably the weakest faction. By the way, about the Dungeon being able to manage without magic...
The Tower can also do that (for example, you can just choose Solmyr as the starting hero).

I agree, Inferno doesn't really have any advantages! Only the Gates of Hell, sulfurous clouds, and the Order of Knowledge...

Well, that's more or less what I expected!

but it's very weak... the damage range is large.

But it can teleport and has a retaliatory attack! (though it's not as good as angels and demons!)

It's easy to defeat the Devil with magic, as he has low health! The only good unit in Inferno is the Efreet, and also the hounds...

No need to bash Inferno. It's a great town. It has many advantages – a portal from Inferno to Inferno, and fire shield for Efreet. And the Grail? Is the weekly demon event really that bad? I'm not saying it's the best town, but it's definitely not the worst.
