Paladin is perhaps the best first-game choice, as you'll get to use the "abilities" of both the main classes, enough to be effective but not enough to use them to the fullest.
You can have a pretty decent army, you can use most the Spirits of Rage's abilities (high-rage requirement ones will be harder to use, though), and you will have enough mana and intellect to implement spells in combat.
However, neither Rage nor Magic will be enough to beat the enemies on later levels - they don't do enough damage. So, do not upgrade spells like ARmaggedon or Geyser, rather, focus on spells and Rage abilities that improve your troops or hamper the enemy: POison Cloud, Ice Thorns, Glot ARmor, Magic Shackles, Resurrect, Bless, Haste, God Armor, Pygmy, Hypnotize, Defenseless, Slow...
Use these wisely in battle, and you won't have much problems with enemies!
The Paladin's racial skills make him stronger against Undead/Demons, that's pretty much all his uniqueness.
