What about the Mausoleum? Is it for weenies or does the 40 design point cost allow you to play like a weenie. ...
I was mostly joking about the weenie comment. I might make the same joking remark about players who have "no intention of pumping out huge armies of troops" unless they have some other plan to field suitably butch forces.

Real men use armies and strong forts. Perhaps real wizards don't care about machismo. Perhaps weeniehood is in the eye of the beholder. Really, there are many different playstyles in Dominions, which are more or less good for different purposes. I brought up the weenie comment as an ironic joking contrast to some players who try to minimax and find the most successful techniques, and dismiss other options as "useless".
