I don't quite get it—three votes for the dwarves?!?!?! Or is this just hope?? 8)) (let's hope it's not unfounded).
Overall, I agree with Imp and M4s that mages simply tear other races apart (even on maps that aren't huge). As for genies, I'll repeat once more: in a rather expensive mage castle, this is exactly what they lack—namely, FREEBIES. Because by building their upgrade (+2 genies +500 coins), they become completely self-sustaining, meaning they don't drain the treasury with their presence.
And a small addition from me: "Smash the goats!" (c) happens via dark magic. Why:
1. It's unexpected... and accordingly, dispels aren't prepared.
2. And most importantly—MASS SLOW. Your units have an initiative of 19%+ thanks to mini-arts, while enemies get a hefty minus... (especially the necros are howling).
P.S. The low popularity of mages is likely explained by the fact that many incredibly stubborn people can't see mages at all after own three... how can they be, since they aren't in the snows, no nags, no proper gargoyles...
