I restarted as a Mage using 1.54. Thougt you'd like a report on my balance findings so far.
The Paladin on Hard was really tough, there weren't enough units hire-able to fill up most of my stacks. (I took Glory twice) So I decided to restart as a Mage that way the units matter less. My thoughts were correct.
This new Mage is super easy. I learnt Call of Nature early summoning 360 leadership worth of animals for just 10 mana, so twice per combat. (this probably shouldn't be a starting spell)
With that spell, I'm able to defeat Lethal enemies with few or no losses...
Now at level 3 I have upgraded to Order level 2 for a stack of 900 leadership Animals. Oh and I found an Officers Baton for sale giving me 450 Leadership in total. I'm now running Beholders, Archers, Elves, Priests and Forest Fairies.
The Fairies deliver the animal stacks, everything else shoots. The Beholders were an excellent find putting enemies to sleep.
Daniel.
