To Ingvar the Tall. I don't quite agree with you; I think we are in equal geographical conditions, and I will compensate for the rest with skill.
So, here's the plan:
Helmar (although it's harder to start with him, his ability will be more useful in the final battle)
Perfect Knowledge of Runes, Greatest Rune
1. Skilled Light: Righteous Fury, Storm Wind;
2. Skilled Attack: Tactics, Attacking Guard, Retribution;
3. Developed Leadership: Runic Harmony
4. Permanent Luck: Magic Resistance, Dwarven Luck
5. Skilled Defense: If there is a resurrection rune, then Evasion, Fight to the Last, if not, then Endurance, Defensive Guard.
It's a pity to sacrifice education for the sake of leadership.
