I did exactly that the first time I played. After about 10 hours into the game I had to abandon my mage and restart on normal as a fighter.

Hard is doable if you have some in-depth knowledge about game mechanics, particularly the skill system. If you played demo several times, you can probably do it.

I recommend picking a paladin for the first run, because of that resurrection scroll. Since good spells are damn hard to find in the full game, playing a mage on hard is a pain in the ass.

Replacing losses will cost a fortune, so you never feel too rich. Proper troop management is essential on harder difficulties and it's rewarding too: I just killed a Kraken loosing only one archmage and one ancient bear.
