Isn't it more boring to enter into a fight and know 100% that you would win and most likely massacre the enemy with impunity? Because aside from boss fights, this is what the late-middle to late game is all about.
If there was any fight at all in the middle to late game that was difficult in any form or way, you could always drop all of your units and get black knights with eviln spell support, even without the shard; this tactic is a non-option at all in the first part of the game.
The hardest part and most challenging part of the game is the first part, that is if you didn't skip it by map-kiting.
Map-kiting does not do well for your end-game score too. You will definitely spend a lot more than 7 in-game days to finish the game, adversely affecting your final score.
To each his own, I guess.
