Is a fan-made balance training session necessary?

Played some single-player with this stuff))))

current thoughts are as follows:

you can't recruit much troops from Castle there, the template is, as warned, poor.... resources seem to be fine though :)

so the option: take a town with a 5-level mage guild (IMHO Rampart is optimal and even Tower is for enthusiasts -- not counting Necropolis and Conflux, which won't let you have it)))) and in the secondary skills immediately go for the guild without stupid trades, while leveling the mage ; that's what's called — prepare for an early encounter!! :D

warriors here are significantly less dominant (no Utopia, no need to take it, while the chance for a grail is minimal or maybe even zero, cloak is also unknown))) but scrolls become very profitable quickly :) when breaking zones and in close combat with power trades, the strength of mages grows!)))) you can simultaneously level a traditional warrior and a mage, sending the latter at the opponent as soon as they show up.... roughly like that, almost a fixed strategy... :D :D
