[Fantomen]

I think it is cool to have mages only in your capital, but these should be really good in that case. Then you would be forced to use the masters in combat.

Grand master should be non capital or it will never be recruited in favor of your only mage. Make it expensive enough that you still recruit mostly masters.

Make holy reseachable self buffs for your masters, so they become viable thugs. If you want to remove slots, remove hand slots to emphasise unarmed combat.
