Tried starting. Everything is great, I liked the video. Question: Isn't 60 phoenixes too many for the beginning of the game? Or is this a way to get rid of the army – similar to removing skills in previous parts?

First, they guard a very, very valuable artifact.
Second, you can counter them with hydras or find another way to outsmart them.
Third, this is a beta, and all your suggestions are taken into account. I might reduce their number later.
