Yes, that's the one complaint of yours that I agree is an important issue, and the only thing I find really problematic in Dominions. There are some ways to avoid friendly fire, but it's still a hassle and a problem.

Aside from the issues of taste, you made some other good points too of course (e.g. castle defense stats should be clearly shown from the selection list) but those I agree with fall under "there are tons of details to be learned, many of which aren't (well) documented, but part of the fun is the continuous and unending adventure of discovering the enormous quantity of details."
