IMPORTANT!!! [DISCUSSION] Academy vs. Necropolis

Something isn't clear – are you playing as Dwarves or Mages? After a month of playing, Necropolis will have Dispel, Berserk, Blind, and even Unholy Word. Usually, around this time, I start capturing castles. Besides, there will be about 50 Liches and Vampires – and here's Hafiz with his Darkness spell. I highly doubt he'll survive.
