So, I agree on everything except that Crypt REALLY needs to be replaced by Necromancer. I find myself NEVER using Bomb Towers because I need the skeletons, as well as portals. Plus, Demons already have 2 different types of structures like Vikings and Persians have
Also, Master Chef should be somewhere in Vikings' tech tree
Persians have 4 units (aside from Genie), but Vikings and Demons only have 3. Puts them at a decided disadvantage. Add Necromancer and Master Chef, problem solved!
LASTLY! All factions should have the STOP banner from the get-go and shouldn't cost money. That will add a lot more strategy!
I wish more people played on PS4

I've waited for upwards of a half hour during the day today and yesterday (east coast).
