I also have a fondness for order. And I respect the light factions: Nature, Life, Order... But of these, I consider only Life to be truly balanced.

The light factions are always strong, but playing as them is usually harder than playing as the dark factions... that's why all beginners love the dark factions; I haven't seen a single game where playing as the dark factions is harder than playing as the light factions... but it seems to me that the light factions have more potential... Of the light factions, I respect Life, but I love Nature))) Order is the most overpowered faction, even more so than Death... Magic is very versatile; there are plenty of ways to deal damage, summon creatures, and cast blessings... but they definitely lack a way to remove negative effects? Congratulations, you've lost... Hypnosis is the key.
