Necropolis versus Academy.

Personally, I don't understand why we need a Necromancer if we're not heading towards the Castle. Also, why take a defensive approach? The Mage will have a huge initiative and a lot of archers, and what will we do, just defend? The "Elemental Balance" skill is also unclear – we already have a powerful Phoenix. And the Mage probably won't use the summoning skill. Plus, there's nothing useful for attacking.
