It's true that it's not great that it has a tactic.
I agree that tactics aren't the best skill to dream about (for me), but still... It gives a real chance, a manageable one (by the way, unlike Heroes of Might and Magic IV), at least to apply this skill on the battlefield. The correct placement of troops matters a lot, after all.
And I like Draxstorm. He's a cool guy, and he's in Heroes of Might and Magic IV too.
