Does anyone else see a contradiction between these two statements?

I doubt thought that all in all it will increase the mage to troop ratio.

Statement 1: You don't need armies to play the game.
Statement 2: mage:troop ratio will stay constant between this and normal play.
But wait, we already concluded we don't need *any* troops. How many normal games do you know of that play like that?
Yes, you don't recruit tons of crappy research mages. You recruit as many top tier mages as you can afford and own independents/other players with nothing but pure magery or SC bad-assery. This actually sounds like more micro rather than less.
But as I said, i'm tentatively interested as C'tis. I'll even make a pre-game prediction: I will never buy a single non-mage (barring an indie commander or two for castle-building)
