Well I think the combination of some of the strongest healers in the game with some of the better SC out of the box, best trample out of the box, best end game SC, mages able to easily get high numbers in certain paths and some lab free mages should give a hint about how balance will be

After playing them ofr a few days, I'd disagree with a few points.
I'd say that their mages are substandard. Getting high Blood is exactly the same as not getting a path when it comes to battle magic and non-summoning ritual magic, and the rest of their mages get a single 2 or 3 in other paths. This means they can't use any of the good multi-path spells.
They also have slow research because the numbers on the cost of your mages vs. the research use you get out of them means that often you will have turns where you either recruit troops or a mage. I think a lot of people will recruit indie mages for research just because it's so much more efficient.
While they have good troops, when you combine their large size(more units can attack them), their extreme cost in both resources and gold, and the fact that their blessable troops are capital-only, I'd say that overall the nation is less powerful than comparable nations like Lanka or Neifleheim.
