The most UNPOPULAR faction in Heroes 5.

Of course, mages deserve respect, but no matter how good a race is, mastering artifacts doesn't make it appealing (with 60 knowledge, let's say such an artifact gives +13 to life - which means gremlins with 6 hit points will get a total of 19, and with resilience, another 2, and if you take a ring that gives +2 to life or 2 such rings, the maximum will be as much as 25!!!!!!! this is already a good 3rd-level life stat), and with an abundance of ranged units, I still don't like this race; it's just boring to play! And I also hate that mages can hit their own units.
