Academy in the late game.

Why even drag it out to such a state – like level 30 – when the Academy units have become ridiculously powerful and there are so many mini-art assets? The problem with the Academy is the difficulty in building up the town and the slow development. Why not take advantage of this, especially when playing against them as Elves? Now, point by point. Wing has very good chances; he will move first with almost all his units, even despite the Academy's mini-art advantage in initiative. With a developed Elven Castle and some "sympathy," you can create a significant advantage. But if the Mage has a lot of units, it's possible that he won't win. Mephala is not a good choice at all. Her special ability gives a bonus to "acceleration," but with such a large number of mini-art units with high initiative, the Mages will move first. It could turn out that there's no one to accelerate (this situation is described in the question). In the Human Castle, with these circumstances, Laslo would be a better choice. Even better, take Rutger with education – this is a return to the first lines of the post.
