Maybe you could point out a balanced template, and we can look for similar reports there?

Spider, there is practically no imbalance between the factions. There are exceptions, but even there, things aren't so hopeless due to the simpler structure of the zones (fewer chances to block) and 3k guards per passage, allowing you to break through anywhere on level 1 + a greater number of resources/external markets/mines give you a chance to come back by quickly building a Grand Mage.
