The eternal question: which heroes are better, mages or warriors?

It all depends on the specific conditions. In online games with random maps, the map itself is the primary factor. On most maps, especially the XL ones, warriors with magic and enough mana for comfortable use of control spells (transport spells) will easily defeat mages; however, on smaller maps, pure mages often dominate and defeat super-warriors due to early encounters and strong combat abilities.
