I'll offer a slightly different perspective: I have an idea to start playing through this campaign, and all the others, by changing the character build strategy from the recommended one for each faction to a non-standard one. That is, I'll abandon the skills of attack, defense, chaos, light, darkness, and summoning. Instead, I'll use skills like leadership, luck, mechanics, education, logistics, and magic. I wonder if it's even possible to complete the game... at least on veteran difficulty.
