Hehehe, to some extent you are yes. As for a troop-heavy strategy being more effective than magic: No that is definitely not the case. For the early game, perhaps, but as it progresses, magic quickly dominates any number of troops. The reason you havent found this out is because the AI is not smart enough to force you to play new strategies. All it does is make lots of troops. So if you make lots of better troops, and use some better tactics, you can beat it on that level. But if you were to play a human, for example, your heavy cavalry squads would be getting totally destroyed by Lightning Bolts, Soul Slays, or Gifts from Heaven, etc.
My suggestion to you, to really get a feel for the power of magic is to do this: Play EA Caelum or some other nation with mega air power. Research Storm (or forge a Staff of Storms - preferrable) and Wrathful Skies. Then Cloud Trapezee a mage onto an enemy army and cast those spells... and just watch an entire army be blasted to nothing by a single mage.
