I've killed more than 50 vine ogres in a single battle using only a dragon with fire shield. Does that make it overpowered?

would you have done the same to 50 abyssian infantry?

No, but then, quickness wouldn't be enough to allow you to survive against a horde of longdead horsemen either. We can go around in circles for ever discussing the relative merits of each of the self buff spells, but I hardly see quickness as overpowering considering that it no longer affects spell casting.

And Quickness wouldn't do much of anything for you against a powerful enough a mage casting various battlefield spells. So obviously Quickness is useless, it doesn't keep them from killing you with Petrify / Disintegrate / etc.

I don't think Quickness needs a nerf.

Well I searched but didn't find, so ...

Tooltips in Army Setup Screen!

It's a little difficult to see whether it's a javelin hurler or a swordsman - and sometimes the "swordsmen" come in 4 varieties - axe, sword, flail, shield and sword. There is no way to check which ones you have outside of right-clicking every unit right now. :/

Perhaps a tooltip that says the Unit Name + wielded equipment?

I distinctly remember this was one of my problems with Dominions:PPP (the first one!): units with different equipment and stats having the same name, and sprites that were either identical or so little different that they might as well have been the same. Not much changed in this department over the last few years...

Aye, and the tooltip could include stuff like exp stars, affliction icons with the name of affliction(s) and horror mark, curse etc
