I particularly have a ingredient for magic purchasers yet love mythical creatures so it may well be a toss up between the Academy and the Dungeon. i detect this a touch appealing question, as i'm presently taking part in a later version of the sport. i've got in no way particularly considered being the Overlord of any of the castles, nevertheless. on account that I frequently decide for the Wizards and Dragons if i will get them, i assume that's what i might prefer to rule. If I rather had to make your suggestions up on in basic terms one, i think of i might decide for the Dungeon for all the mythical creatures; Centaurs, Gargoyles, Minators, Hydras, Dragons. i think of i'm lacking one.
