You take combat skills that late? How on earth does the dear fellow even survive until then???
Hehe, I actually very often don't take combat skills at all. And it's fine. A Mage, and especially an Archmage, wipes everyone out first!
Usually such a combination is good because while the enemy army hasn't reached your own, a warrior possessing Life Magic can bless the shooters and front-line units, while meanwhile a mage, using Order Magic, slows down the enemy's fast units
Logical. I have roughly the same situation. I prefer to have two heroes in a pair. It feels safer somehow.
And generally, if choosing combat skills, War Arts is more to my liking. Also, among non-magical ones, Pathfinding and Nobility. For some reason, Tactics isn't really for me...
