It depends on what you mean by "problem with tactics."

Well, of course, I mean the Tactics skill! It's not that easy to level up naturally, and it's not that easy to acquire with increased growth (Nobility)...

Why would she need it? I understand, of course... for leveling up and all that. It's cool, but the whole point is to level up quickly. And you can find it... The main thing is to learn how to use your skills correctly, the basic ones. And further leveling up (whatever it may be) is just a bonus.
P.S. Besides, Nature can do without Battle - which is also not a bad thing. It's also resistance against Haven, but... why bother, if there's the Anti-Magic spell.

Spending a turn on Anti-Magic on a hero is not rational. It's easy to kill the hero.

No, they won't be defeated. They won't have time. But another question arises: will a spell be available?
As Alex_R put it, tactical problems will then affect not only Sylvan, but all factions except Haven and Necropolis... And that turns out to be complete nonsense!

However, Sylvan has excellent luck (and morale is also good). And that's also a nice bonus in battle!

But at least Nature has good luck (and its morale is also decent). And that's a nice bonus in battle!
Not just Nature... All living races have positive luck and morale...

But nature is special. It seems luck is literally locked inside it (Rainbow).

But nature is different. It's as if luck is locked away in its castle (Rainbow).
Life gives +1 to morality:cool:
But this doesn't play a significant role. There are artifacts that aren't rare (I don't remember the name, but when wearing this artifact, all enemy units have the "misfortune" spell applied to them).

There are artifacts that boost the morale and luck of your troops. I wouldn't mind having a clover and a horseshoe. But it's always nice to get a bonus for the next battle when entering a Nature or Life Castle. Haven doesn't have that. They just give you money there :D

Yes, they give a lot of money, especially when you have property:D
But Order's troops aren't cheap either. Golems are an expensive unit, of course, they are worth it, but still...
P.S. I remember when I was playing the campaign for Order in the original 4th game (about Emilia Nighthaven), it was about Dragon Golems in particular, and the Djinn was arguing that they are stronger than 20 gold golems. I never understood how one iron dragon could defeat 20 golems, since its health is only enough for four, and even the first strike won't save it. In general, it turned out to be a useless unit, at least in comparison to the Titan, although even he is truly effective when accuracy is applied to him in combination with Hobbits.
By the way, hypnosis, berserk, and blindness should also work on the Dragon Golem, since they are controlled by someone... it's just a bit silly;)

Hypnosis, I think, doesn't work. It says in the characteristics that spells that affect the living do not affect it. Berserk and hypnosis will not work.

I don't think hypnosis works. The description says that spells that affect living creatures don't work on it. Berserk and hypnosis won't work.
Yes, I know it doesn't work. It's considered a mechanical unit. But it's controlled by red dwarves, who are perfectly alive – that's why I'm wondering: "Is it stupid that spells related to the head don't affect the dragon golem?"
In principle, the same can be said about a ballista or catapult, but they are self-contained, they load themselves, and they shoot themselves.
But a little guy is sitting on the levers of the dragon golem...

It's simply a counter to the Titan. Everything affects it. Therefore, someone needs to be pitted against it, at least in some way. That's probably why they decided to make it immune (which is actually good against Necropolis). Because I can hardly imagine a battle of Haven vs. Haven. It would be so boring!!!

Well, then they should have given it more hit points, because it's too weak. So what if it takes the first hit? Who would be surprised by that?! :)

They probably wouldn't give him more HP than the Titan... and they probably didn't even think it was necessary to add a little. Because, again, he would be a competitor to the Titan.
