Hey tcon thanks for the feedback! You make a couple of really good points.

The Elder does one less research than a Philosopher but costs the same. The reason for this was because the Philosopher is Capital only, but the Elder can be built anywhere. However, this is actually no advantage, because the troops are so cheap and delicate and the clan leaders only control 40, you pretty much have to build a new commander every turn, meaning you don't have time for the Elders. So, giving an extra Research to the Elder might make them more viable, but I wouldn't want to make them better than the philosopher, so it will probably be just +1 extra reseach.

I agree with you about the Hag, because I'm not that familiar with the Healing ability I kind of guessed the amount, I wanted her to not be as good at healing as the Acros Priestess, but I might have made her too bad, perhaps a boost to 50 might do it.

As for the Savage, I think they are fairly balanced at the moment, they actually have only a 1 handed club if you pause and look at the attack sprite (its their arm going above their head with the club at the end). Giving them the Great Club is quite a boost in dmg (over double I think) which would make them better than the Berserker who is the Cap only version of a Savage (but without the Pillage ability).

The other things I'm looking at are the Pictish Wail (weapon of Wailing Woman) never seems to hit, it is -2 accuracy, it might need to be boosted to 0 or +1 or +2 and the Windcall spell is quite useless because the Hawks don't attack on the same turn they are summoned and get wiped. I think either the Hawks need a slight buff, or the spell range reduced to 1 perhaps, so that they spawn on the caster and then fly to enemy, they seem to attack the same turn as they fly, but not same turn as summon for some reason.
