A golden mean is needed everywhere. I think it's better to be either a Warrior or a Battle Mage!

Personally, I only develop Wisdom from Magic, and nothing else.

Personally, I don't develop anything other than wisdom in magic.

That's not right; magic should be developed, even if not for combat magic...

And magic (unlike damage) is an inconsistent thing (cloak and sphere). Besides, magic damage can't be strong enough to compensate for the difference in unit damage between a Mage and a Barbarian:smile08:

I either play a pure Mage or a Battle Mage, but if I can't play a Mage, then a Fast Warrior might work.

warrior+magic of earth+wisdom. It needs to have a portal to the town and resurrection.

warrior + earth magic + wisdom. It needs to have a portal to the town and resurrection.

Almost exactly. Air (acceleration, door to dimensions, flight) + Earth (slowness + town portal) + Wisdom – that's basically all a Barbarian needs.

Well, yes, but in order for a Barbarian to find these spells, he needs to quickly capture someone's Castle with a magic school of a decent level, and that's not so easy to do.

I'm more inclined towards a Hero who favors the Warrior class. I agree with those who said they'd take Wisdom + Earth + Air. Earth (City Portal, Slow – and if it's a general slow, that's even better), Air (Haste – preferably a general Haste, and so on). Well, I guess that's all!

I'll take War with Might and Magic: Earth. And maybe also Might and Magic: Fire.

If I'm going to war, I can take Wisdom and Water Magic (Blessing, Prayer, Clone) or Fire Magic (Berserk, Armageddon, Blindness).
These spells will be more useful!

Yes, but to find these spells, the Barbarian needs to urgently capture someone's Castle with a decent-level magic school, and that's not so easy to do.

It's as if it's a problem to find Haste or Slow.
And for other spells, visit the computer-controlled players and search through the Pandora's Boxes.

I was talking about flight, the dimensional door, and the city portal, things that, as far as I vaguely remember, aren't common among the Barbarians. It's not a given that there will be Pandora's Boxes scattered across the map. What does "visiting the computers" mean?

I was talking about teleportation, the dimensional door, and the city portal, which, as far as I vaguely remember, the Barbarians don't have. It's not a given that Pandora's Boxes will be scattered across the map. What does "visiting the computers" mean?

visiting the computers means capturing an enemy city) or entering it, learning spells, and running away... the latter in case you have a small army or are weaker than the enemy's)
P.S. there are also scrolls and books. And Pandora's Boxes aren't on all random maps) I don't know why).

Well, I generally agree with everyone that a Warrior with Wisdom and Earth magic is awesome – portal + slowdown is devastating...
P.S. If you have a portal, you've practically won.
