Re: Noob+Man/Tuatha
Well... the Tuathans can cast spells like Mist Form and Barkskin on themselves, so they can aspire to being limited SCs. Fundamentally, I'm just not impressed with a SC base that has 15 hit points, it simply lives in the realm of lucky one-hit kills from soulless warriors.
I want my mages and my SCs to be different characters. The all-in-one packages of Tuatha and Vanir are simply too expensive for what you get. With a Crone you are paying for a spellcaster, with a Lord Warden you are paying for a warrior. With the Tuatha you have the option of paying for a spellcaster and warrior in one - but it costs as much as the warrior and the spellcasting combined. And on any given turn it can still only fight or research.
No, the cost you have to pay to get a character capable of "doing it all" is way too high. Specialized leaders and troops are definately the way to go.
