It shows how well balanced this game is that I've no idea which class is 'best.' IMO it was an excellent design decision to put the rage box in the Warrior tech tree, so that he doesn't have to rely on brute force alone. I actually found it easiest to play the demo with the Warrior (on Hard) because you could get the Horsemen and Knights, which are very strong, and build up your rage without losing any troops (providing you have at least a healing spell).
On the other hand, the Paladin is excellent due to his large Leadership and I presume later on because of his ability to barter at a better rate. I think I will take him for my first game. I found in the demo that I was struggling on Hard with the Mage a little. He was having a hard time getting through the early fights to upgrade his spells. I get the feeling that on hard the Mage might not be the best choice, at least not early in the game.
