if a free attack were so terrible, everyone would start Dungeon with Lorelei.

In my opinion, the fairy upgrade is nonsense, and nobody would have done it in the first week, even if it were allowed.
Is it a 200% game?
That's essentially the same as not building birds. And even if the 2nd level is built, Citadel is better than the fairy upgrade.
But what if it turns out that birds can't be built? From 114-5 you can upgrade fairies and gain an advantage.
Without oil, they can't really break through anything properly, and with oil, you'll manage even without them.
Yeah, right :D
And the opponent will crush these fairies in battle without even noticing.
Vampire Lords aren't a stack of Archangels in battle either. But they are very dangerous precisely on the map itself, even though they are undeniably good in battle.

Yeah, that's true :D
Vampire Lords also don't stand against Archangels in battle. But they are very dangerous, especially on the map, although they are certainly good in battle.
Yeah, I forgot about the 200%. Well, they'll figure it out, and it's not a big deal, in principle. I don't think that upgrading a Fey is comparable to upgrading Vampires. You can't get a Consort or a Hive with the Fey's growth. I think their role is often exaggerated.
I consider Jebus Cross-Conflux the 6-7th strongest town — that's why I'd like to ask to make the hero selection specifically on this template.
Jebus is certainly a peculiar template, but 7th in strength? Like, is it only worse than Inferno and Tower or what?
Jebus almost always has any fat artifact. In this case, the Tome of Fire. And Tome of Fire for Conflux is clearly not the 7th strongest, imho.
And by the way, what's the problem with Conflux? Is it really such a weak town? And they nerfed it so much, you know :D

My vision of the strength of castles on Jebus Cross — first in strength is Castle. Second place is shared by Dungeon and Necropolis. Third — Fortress and Stronghold. Fourth is shared by Conflux and Rampart. Fifth — Tower and Inferno. Well, this is purely my imho.)
Все в ней нулево и кукольно.
The issue isn't so much about the lack of retaliation, but rather the sheer number of sprites and the damage they inflict – that's the real problem. At the start, there can be around 50-70 of them, so calculate the total damage they'll deal.
Let's unban sprites at least in the new season and see what happens.
Let's at least unban faeries in the new season and see how it goes.
Sure, let's! And we'll also see Conflux, which already barely gets played, become an even rarer guest in the seasonal games. Jebus Cross is an addiction, but there are also other templates. So there's no need to balance everything around it.

zombies? oh, bobachki counter zombies!!
with tactics, anyone is easy, but without it - it's the end for faeries
so morale depends on the unit?
60 at start, growth 20, native 20, where does another 200 come from, Pandora's?
Even so, a couple of external dwellings are not uncommon, 2 native ones if you're lucky in at least one of the two weeks + faerie arrival is capped at 25 rather than 20 (average of 20 = 80), from the castle + from the native dwelling (without those same birds) on week 2 = 60, external dwellings = 80 from 2 weeks, total could be 220. Such a scenario is quite possible in 15-20% of cases, that's a lot.
Please don't get angry:D
