This is the only very important thing, being this a game, I like ppl who play for fun my humble considerations were just to enter a bit a minmaxing way of thinking, but the "let's have fun" attitude is the one I use the most too

I only find un-funny to have to rely on so slow, capital only troops. With that bless they will be durable, true, but to replace some it will take a long time for you, and not sure how worthy it would be not to skip their long travel and just recruit some tough axe/morningstar wielders in a border fortress.

But they have even higher Fire magic than they usually need for spells, access to Phoenix Power and lots of F gems, so they can usually greatly reduce their casting fatigue with that
Also E10 seems a bit of an overkill compared to E9, you get 1 point of reinvig on troops and 1 of prot on your pretender for 56 points.. You could instead buy 1 more point of Growth for less problems of old age on your expensive mages and more bloodhuntable (lol) provinces, and still have something left Or one more Magic and your mages will fatigue 10% less, which is usually more than 1 fatigue point.

That's a very nice idea

Agreed. I'm also a naturally warm guy so it comes natural to play them
