Which faction is the most interesting to play as, and what strategy do you find most engaging?

I agree, such a hero is cooler than this one: attack 8, defense 8, strength 8, knowledge 8, which also totals 32. No one would want such a hero!

Yes, but you also have to agree with me, I haven't seen any hero whose skills develop so evenly and with equal priorities. If it's a mage, then their magic will develop significantly... Isn't that right?
