Yeah, I always thought nyx/nyx warrior ability was a bit too strong, same with haspids/sea serpents.

Well
I voted conflux 
I don't think balance and gameplay design problems of the town can be reflected in this game...
Also, if anything, cove is OP (and also not real)
My issue with conflux is not balance (alone).
Having the elementals in different tiers always felt strange to me. And they are so ... boringly done. I mean, as summons and neutrals, just having "X elemental" is fine for me. But in a faction I`d like something feeling a bit more...atmospheric.

I saw it. And, as some might tell you, I am a tiny little bit fond of such contests. Sadly, though, I don' think I'll find the time anytime soon.

Archon's video today went over unit balance a bit, but more importantly, revealed the unit's abilities for each faction in a spreadsheet.

Starts around 1:12:00
I think they all look good for the most part. Each unit seems well represented. Looking forward to this.
Also, the rule book got updated:

1 year later…
Shipments have been going out for some time. Yet to receive mine, but has anyone else had a chance to play? Any feedback to share?

Literally received the game today, out of nowhere delivery straight to my doorstep. I did get an email from FedEx a week ago, but never paid attention to the shipment tracker .
Got all the expansions, played one 1v1 game (Brave New World) as Castle and Necropolis. Was a tight game, but Necro took it. Feels like a pretty strong faction even in the board game, but not anything crazy. Was our first ever game as well, so we didn't know the rules and had to keep checking the manual. Was really fun though, I give the "tutorial" scenario an 8/10. I think I love the gameplay as well.
The quality of everything in the boxes seems pretty good to me, and the miniatures especially are so fun to look at. Will have to buy a lot of sleeves for all the cards though.

Very cool! I just ordered some clear sleeves myself so I can shuffle everything easier.
8/10 seems like the average score most player’s are giving it. Gameplay looks really fun. I’m trying to print some card holders and what not to make the setup less of a mess. Looks like a lot of table space is needed for everything.

The table space used is quite a lot, for sure. Kinda funny though how the actual game world doesn't take a lot of space, but all the different decks, town cards, hero cards and battlefield take quite a lot.
Played two more games today, and it made me like the gameplay even more. Tested Dungeon and Tower. Tower with Dracon seems pretty strong, getting an Enchanter and a Mage at the same time with Dracon's specialty cards was STRONG. Lord Haart's "double" estates is also crazy. Still a lot of playing to go, haven't even opened 4 of the expansions!
