T'ien Chi super combatant wizards?

[Merry Jolkar]

I'm curious to know if anyone has managed to create a T'ien C'hi (Spring and Autumn) wizard -e.g. Celestial Master (others?) who is a viable combatant. With so few hit points, they seem very weak, and so I just have them cast spells from the rear.

Also, can a team of wizards only (no troops) win? I'm picturing the Chinese heroes in movies who know karate and are magical, going up against hordes. But, it seems that when one hero dies and their are no troops, the whole group routes. This is strange because when the special event where your province is attacked by the troll raider and his group, this does not appear to be the case (despite the fact that they are all heroes).

Thanks,
Merry
