the only problem is that you have only about 200 units and 200 spells and know all too quick .

The balance isn't that great. Summoned creatures are pretty much a waste of resources, and are far too expensive for the small amount of power they give you. Battlefield magic is weak and unimpressive in general. The only spells that are worthwhile are those that boost your individual units and even then you can't cast very many of them. The experience granting system has the standard problem where only killing the unit grants experience, so you have to do silly things like save weakened attackers for your heroes. Spellcasting heroes don't gain experience anywhere near as fast as melee ones, since the spells that they can cast are extremely unlikely to actually kill more than one unit in a battle. It might be a game with magic, but the magic doesn't have nearly enough effect.

are you serious with this ?
gold dragons , dark angels , angels , the dark dragons etc. were a waste of resources ?
most battlespells were great like fireball , the armageddon like spell , cosmic spray etc. etc.
heros which are SCS in dominions 2-3 lvl 4 units were normally enough to kill any hero no matter how highlevel he was .
2-3 kharags , dragons , etc. killed normally every hero .
even 10 black spiders with web or 3-4 druids with entangle had good chances.
you seem to have not played aow 2 sm much right ?
magic was great but not that overpowered .
it was basically 50/50 over the whole game with magic + gold .
