Today, there was more of the same in Clash Royale. I dropped a couple hundred trophies, only to gain them back after some lucky battles. One of those matches was extremely close; my Musketeer succeeded in destroying my opponent's King Tower just as his Inferno Dragon and other cards were about to wipe out mine. I could tell by his spammed emoticons that he wasn't happy about that.
Back to "Golems Aplenty" in HOMM3, I'm not sure how the Conflux player's main hero amassed 70+ Iron Golems by the end of the first month. If each Golem Factory on the map produces 6 Iron Golems per week, he must've visited quite a few of them - which seems unlikely. And with no Tower players around, my best guess is that a neutral stack joined him at some point. I failed to defeat that hero, who also had Expert Air Magic, so I reloaded and ran the opposite way. I captured his initial Conflux town a few turns later, and there are 4 Firebirds inside ready for recruitment. I'm still concerned about that Iron Golem hero, though; my Rampart town is doomed if he pushes north.
