This game sure is hard!

Ya. Exactly. I only had 2/3 higher magic or whatever though, didn't get to invest into the last point as I completed the game at level 24 or so.

As a paladin, you're only "damage" is your troops, and they are slightly weaker then the warriors troops. Sure, you can heal them, and rezz some of them.. but you still need good troops to begin with. I have been very unlucky as I said, I have yet to find a troop with decent hit points and damage. All my ranged units are a mess. I'm using goblin archers, archers, evil eyes (At least good) and half a stack of archmages (Sold out). And using goblin shamans to tank.
